This manual will provide you with a good basic understanding of the features and operation of this ATV. This manual includes important safety information. It provides information about the special techniques and skills necessary to ride your ATV. It also includes basic maintenance and inspection procedures.
Select a large, flat area off-road to become familiar with your ATV. Make sure that this area is free of obstacles and other riders. You should practice control of the throttle, brakes, and turning techniques in this area before trying more difficult terrain. Always avoid riding on paved surfaces: that is designed for off-road use only, and handling maneuvers are more difficult to perform on the pavement.
