GETTING TO KNOW YOUR ATV
This ATV is for recreation and utility use. This sec-
tion, Riding your ATV, provides general ATV riding
instructions for recreational riding. The skills and
techniques described in this section, however, are
appropriate for all types of riding. Riding your ATV
requires special skills acquired through practice
over a period of time. Take the time to learn the
basic techniques well before attempting more diffi-
cult maneuvers.
Riding your new ATV can be a very enjoyable ac-
tivity, providing you with hours of pleasure. But it is
essential to familiarize yourself with the operation
of the ATV to achieve the skill necessary to enjoy
riding safely. Before you begin to ride, be sure you
have read this Owner’s Manual completely and
understand the operation of the controls. Pay par-
ticular attention to the safety information on pages
2-1–2-17. Please also read all caution and warn-
ing labels on your ATV.
