Parking brake
Use the parking brake when you have to start
the engine or park the machine, especially on a
slope. Apply the rear brake lever and push down
the lock plate to apply the parking brake.
Squeeze the rear brake lever to release the
parking brake.

8Always set the parking brake before start-
ing the engine. The ATV could start mov-
ing unexpectedly if the parking brake is
not applied. This could cause loss of con-
trol or a collision.
8Always be sure you have released the
parking brake before you begin to ride.
The brake could overheat if you ride the
ATV without releasing the parking brake.
You could lose braking performance
which could cause an accident. You could
also wear out the brakes prematurely.

NOTE:
The air filter element should be cleaned every
20 ~ 40 hours. It should be cleaned and lubricat-
ed more often if the machine is operated in
extremely dusty areas. Each time filter element
maintenance is performed, check the air inlet to
the filter case for obstructions. Check the air
cleaner rubber joint to the carburetor and mani-
fold fittings for an air-tight seal. Tighten all fit-
tings securely to avoid the possibility of unfil-
tered air entering the engine.
cC
Never operate the engine with the air filter
element removed. This will allow unfiltered
air to enter, causing rapid engine wear and
possible engine damage. Additionally, opera-
tion without the filter element will affect car-
buretor jetting with subsequent poor perfor-
mance and possible engine overheating.
