er. See the starting instructions on page 6-1 prior
to starting the engine.EBU18166Light switch “ / /OFF”
Set this switch to “ ” to turn on the low beams,
the taillight and the meter lighting. Set the switch
to “ ” to turn on the high beams, the taillight
and the meter lighting. Set the switch to “OFF” to
turn off all the lights.NOTICEECB00046Do not use the headlights with the engine
turned off for an extended period of time. The
battery may discharge to the point that the
starter will not have enough power to crank the
engine. If this should happen, remove the bat-
tery and recharge it. (See page 8-37.) EBU18171Horn switch “ ”
Press the switch to sound the horn.
EBU18283Throttle leverOnce the engine is running, pushing the throttle le-
ver will increase the engine speed.
Regulate the speed of the ATV by varying the
throttle position. Because the throttle is spring-
loaded, the ATV will decelerate, and the engine
will return to an idle any time the throttle lever is re-
leased.
Before starting the engine, check the throttle to be
sure it is operating smoothly. Make sure it returns
to the idle position as soon as the lever is released.1. Throttle lever

Ambient temp./starter (choke) position
6. Completely close the throttle lever and start the engine by pushing the start switch.
TIPIf the engine fails to start, release the start switch,
then push it again. Pause a few seconds before
the next attempt. Each cranking should be as short as possible to preserve battery energy. Do
not crank the engine more than 10 seconds on
each attempt.
7. If the engine is started with the starter (choke)
in position (1), the starter (choke) should be
returned to position (2) to warm up the en-
gine. If the engine is started with the starter
(choke) in position (2), keep the starter (choke)
in this position to warm up the engine.
8. Continue warming up the engine until it idles smoothly, then return the starter (choke) to
position (3) before riding.TIPThe engine is warm when it responds quickly to
the throttle with the starter (choke) turned off. NOTICEECB00164For maximum engine life, never accelerate
hard when the engine is cold!

This model is equipped with a VRLA (Valve Regu-
lated Lead Acid) battery. There is no need to
check the electrolyte or to add distilled water.
However, the battery lead connections need to be
checked and, if necessary, tightened.
WARNING
EWB02161Battery electrolyte is poisonous and danger-
ous, as it contains sulfuric acid, which can cau-
se severe burns. Avoid contact with skin, eyes
or clothing. Always shield your eyes when
working near batteries.

EXTERNAL: Flush with water.
INTERNAL: Drink large quantities of water or
milk. Follow with milk of magnesia, beaten egg
or vegetable oil. Call a physician immediately.
EYES: Flush with water for 15 minutes and get
prompt medical attention.
Batteries produce explosive gases. Keep
sparks, flame, cigarettes or other sources of
ignition away. Ventilate when charging or using
in an enclosed space.
Recommended lubricant:
Lithium-soap-based grease

month, remove the battery, fully charge it, and
then place it in a cool, dry place.
 If the battery will be stored for more than two
months, check it at least once a month and fully
charge it if necessary.NOTICEECB00941Always keep the battery charged. Storing a
