The clutch lever is located on the left handlebar
and the ignition circuit cut-off system is incorpo-
rated in the clutch lever holder. Pull the clutch
lever to the handlebar to disengage the clutch,
and release the lever to engage the clutch. The
lever should be pulled rapidly and released
slowly for smooth clutch operation. (Refer to
“Starting a cold engine” for a description of the
ignition circuit cut-off system.)

8Do not mount an accessory where it could
interfere with your ability to control the ATV.
Examples include (but are not limited to) a
heavy or bulky object attached to the handle-
bars which could make steering difficult, an
accessory that limits your ability to move
around on the seat, or one that limits your
view.
8Use extra caution when riding an ATV with
accessories. The ATV may handle differently
than it does without accessories.

As originally equipped, this ATV is not designed
to carry cargo or tow a trailer. If you choose to
add accessories so that you can carry cargo or
tow a trailer, you must use common sense and
good judgement. Keep the following points in
mind:
8Never exceed the weight limits shown. An
overloaded ATV can be unstable.

As you approach a curve, slow down and begin
to turn the handlebars in the desired direction.
As you do so, put your weight on the footboard
to the outside of the turn (opposite your desired
direction) and lean your upper body into the
turn. Use the throttle to maintain an even speed
through the turn. This maneuver will let the
wheel on the inside of the turn slip slightly,
allowing the ATV to make the turn properly.
This procedure should be practiced at slow
speed many times in a large unpaved area with
no obstacles. If an incorrect technique is used,
your ATV may continue to go straight. If the ATV
doesn’t turn, come to a stop and then practice
the procedure again. If the riding surface is slip-
pery or loose, it may help to position more of
your weight over the front wheels by moving for-
ward on the seat. Once you have learned this
technique you should be able to perform it at
higher speeds or in tighter curves.
