Starting a cold engine
w
Always make sure all control cables work
smoothly before you begin riding in cold
weather. If the control cables are frozen or
do not work smoothly, you could be unable
to control the ATV, which could lead to an
accident or collision.
1. Set the parking brake.
2. Turn the fuel cock to “ON”.
3. Turn the main switch to “ON” and the engine
stop switch to “RUN”.
4. Shift the drive select lever to neutral.

With the engine idling, return the starter knob to
the closed position and shift the drive select
lever into the forward position. Then release the
parking brake. Apply the throttle slowly and
smoothly. The centrifugal clutch will engage and
you will start to accelerate. If the throttle is
applied too abruptly, the front wheels may lift off
the ground resulting in a loss of directional con-
trol. Avoid higher speeds until you are thorough-
ly familiar with the operation of your ATV.
When slowing down or stopping, release the
throttle and apply the brakes smoothly and
evenly. Improper use of the brakes can cause
the tires to lose traction, reducing control and
increasing the possibility of an accident.

If your ATV has stalled or stopped and you
believe you can continue up the hill, restart care-
fully to make sure you do not lift the front wheels
which could cause you to lose control. If you are
unable to continue up the hill, dismount the ATV
on the uphill side. Physically turn the ATV
around and then descend the hill.
If you start to roll backwards, DO NOT use the
rear brake to stop. The ATV could easily tip over
backwards. Instead, dismount the ATV immedi-
ately on the uphill side.

8If your ATV starts to slide sideways:
Steer in the direction of the slide if you have
the room.
Applying the brakes or accelerating is not rec-
ommended until you have corrected the slide.
(See pages 7-71–7-73.)
8If your ATV can’t make it up a hill you are try-
ing to climb:
Turn the ATV around if you still have forward
speed. If not, stop, dismount on the uphill side
of the ATV and physically turn the ATV
around. If the ATV starts to slip backwards
DO NOT USE THE REAR BRAKE - the ATV
may tip over on top of you. Dismount the ATV
on the uphill side. (See pages 7-45–7-55.)
