GETTING TO KNOW YOUR ATV
This ATV is mainly for utility use, but may also be
used for recreation. This section, Riding your ATV,
provides general ATV riding instructions for recre-
ational riding. The skills and techniques described

well before attempting more difficult 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

ticular attention to the safety information on
pages 2-1–2-17. Please also read all caution and
warning labels on your ATV.
