N.B.:_

Si le moteur ne se met pas en marche, relâcher le
contacteur du démarreur, puis appuyer à nouveau
sur celui-ci. Attendre quelques secondes entre cha-
que tentative. Chaque essai de mise en marche du
moteur doit être aussi court que possible afin de
préserver l’énergie de la batterie. Ne pas actionner
le démarreur pendant plus de 10 secondes d’affilée.


Si la batterie est déchargée, utiliser le lanceur à
réenroulement.
_7. Si le moteur est mis en marche en plaçant le starter
sur la position 1
, placer celui-ci sur la position 2
pour réchauffer le moteur. Si le moteur est mis en
marche sur la position 2
, conserver cette position
pour réchauffer le moteur.
8. Continuer à faire chauffer le moteur jusqu’à ce que
le ralenti soit régulier et remettre le starter sur 3
avant de démarrer.ATTENTION:_ Lire attentivement la section “Rodage du moteur”
avant la première utilisation du véhicule. _
NOTA:_

Si el motor no arranca, suelte el interruptor de
arranque y vuelva a pulsarlo. Espere unos se-
gundos antes del siguiente intento. Los intentos
deberán ser lo más breves posibles, a fin de
ahorrar la carga de la batería. No haga girar el
motor más de 10 segundos en cada intento.


Si se descarga la batería, tire del cable de
arranque para poner en marcha el motor.
_7. Si se ha puesto en marcha el motor con el star-
ter (choke) en la posición
1, el starter (choke)
deberá reponerse a la posición
2 para calen-
tar el motor. Si se ha puesto en marcha con el
starter (choke) en la posición
2, manténgalo
en esta posición para calentar el motor.
8. Deje que el motor se caliente hasta que el ra-
lentí se mantenga uniforme y devuelva el star-
ter (choke) a la posición
3 (cerrado), antes de
poner el vehículo en movimiento.AT E N C I O N :_ Antes de poner en marcha el motor por primera
vez, consulte el apartado “Rodaje del motor”. _

Starting a warm engine
To start a warm engine, refer to the “Starting a cold
engine” section. The starter (choke) should not be
used. The throttle should be opened slightly.
EBU00182
Warming up
To get maximum engine life, always warm up the
engine before starting off. Never accelerate hard
with a cold engine! To see whether or not the en-
gine is warm, check if it responds to the throttle
normally with the starter (choke) turned off.

Mise en marche d’un moteur chaud
Se reporter à la section “Mise en marche d’un moteur
froid”. Ne pas utiliser le starter (enrichisseur). Ne pas ac-
célérer brutalement.
FBU00182
Réchauffement du moteur
Afin de garantir la longévité du moteur, il est indispensa-
ble de chauffer le moteur avant de démarrer. Ne jamais
accélérer brusquement quand le moteur est froid! Le mo-
teur a atteint sa température normale de fonctionnement
dès qu’il répond immédiatement aux accélérations avec
le starter (enrichisseur) en position fermée.
SBU00180
Arranque del motor en caliente
Para arrancar un motor caliente, consulte el aparta-
do de “Arranque del motor en frío”. El starter (choke)
no deberá utilizarse. El acelerador deberá abrirse un
poco.
SBU00182
Calentamiento
Para que el motor alcance su máxima duración, per-
mita siempre que se caliente antes de iniciar la mar-
cha. ¡No acelere nunca violentamente con el motor
frío! Para ver si el motor está lo bastante caliente,
compruebe si responde normalmente al acelerador
con el starter (choke) cerrado.

Shifting
This model has a 5-speed forward transmission
with centrifugal automatic clutch. The transmission
allows you to control the amount of power you
have available at a given speed or for starting ac-
celerating, climbing, etc. To shift into neutral, re-
turn the throttle lever to its original position and
repeatedly depress the shift pedal until it stops.CAUTION:_ Do not coast for long periods with the engine
off, and do not tow the machine a long dis-
tance. Even with gears in neutral, the transmis-
sion is only properly lubricated when the
engine is running. Inadequate lubrication may
damage the transmission. _

To start out and accelerate:
1. Release the throttle lever.CAUTION:
Always close the throttle while shifting gears.
Otherwise, damage to the engine and drive
train may result. 2. Shift into first gear and release the shift ped-
al.
3. Open the throttle gradually.
4. Once the machine has attained adequate
speed, release the throttle lever.
5. Shift into second gear and release the shift
pedal.
6. Open the throttle gradually.
7. Follow the same procedure when shifting to
the next higher gear.
WARNING
Always open the throttle gradually. Opening
the throttle abruptly would increase the
chance of an accident. It could make the ma-
chine wheelie or overturn.

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, shifting procedures,
and turning techniques in this area before trying
more difficult terrain. Always avoid riding on paved
surfaces: the ATV is designed for off-road use
only, and handling maneuvers are more difficult to
perform on pavement.
Set the parking brake and follow the instruction on
page 6-3 to start the engine. Once it has warmed
up you are ready to begin riding your ATV. As you
get on the ATV, be sure not to accidentally move
the shift pedal. Remember that the engine and ex-
haust pipe will be hot when riding and afterwards;
do not allow skin or clothing to come in contact
with these components.

With the engine idling, lift the shift pedal to the 1st
gear position and then release the parking brake.
Apply the throttle slowly and smoothly. The centrif-
ugal clutch will engage and you will start to accel-
erate. Once the ATV has attained adequate
speed, release the throttle and lift the shift pedal to
the 2nd gear position. Release the shift pedal and
apply the throttle smoothly. Use this same proce-
dure as you move into the higher gears. Be sure to
coordinate the use of the throttle and shift pedal
properly. If the throttle is applied too abruptly or if
the throttle is not released during shifting, or if the
shift pedal is not released before applying the
throttle, the front wheels may lift off the ground re-
sulting in a loss of directional control. Avoid higher
speeds until you are thoroughly familiar with the
operation of your ATV.CAUTION:_ Do not shift gears without releasing the throt-
tle. Damage to the engine or drive train may oc-
cur. _

WARNING
_

Always follow proper procedures for
climbing hills as described in this Owner’s
Manual.


Always check the terrain carefully before
you start up any hill.


Never climb hills with excessively slippery
or loose surfaces.


Shift your weight forward.


Never open the throttle suddenly or make
sudden gear changes. The ATV could flip
over backwards.


Never go over the top of any hill at high
speed. An obstacle, a sharp drop, or anoth-
er vehicle or person could be on the other
side of the hill.
