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-

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.

Never operate the engine with the air filter ele-
ment removed. This will allow unfiltered air to
enter the engine, causing rapid engine wear
and possible engine damage. Additionally,
operation without the filter element will affect
carburetor jetting with subsequent poor per-
formance and possible engine overheating.
