IMPORTANT NOTICE TO
PARENTS
ARNING
Even though the
AATTVVhas four
wheels, it can tip over in any direc-
tion. Improper turning techniques,
traversing hills, accelerating on
hills, and turning on hills can all
lead to vehicle tip over.
Learn proper riding techniques and
avoid riding situations which can
lead to tip over accidents.
The
AATTVVand other all-terrain
vehicles (ATVs) have unique han-
dling characteristics. ATVs handle
differently than motercycles.
Although ATVs have four(or three)
wheels, they handle differently
than automobiles, too.
ATVs require special riding tech-
niques suited to their handling
characteristics, so be sure that all
riders of the
AATTVVpractice and
master the riding techniques
described in this owner’s manual
(Starting on page 15)
ARNING

★MAXIMUM THROTTLE OPENING
RECOMMENDATION
During the first 10 hours of vehicle operation,
the maximum thottle opening you should use is
1/2 throtttle.
★VARY THE ENGINE SPEED
The engine speed should be varied during the
break-in period. Although it is essential that
some stress be placed on the engine compo-
nents during break-in, you must be careful not to
excessively load the engine.
★AVOID CONSTANT LO SPEED
Operating the engine at constant low speed
(light load) can cause parts to glaze and not
seat properly. Allow the engine to accelerate
freely through the gears, without exceeding the
maximum recommnded throttle opening.
★OBSERVE YOUR INITIAL AND
MOST CRITICAL SERVICE
The initial service (break-in maintenance) is the
most important service your vehicle will receive.
During break-in operation, all of the engine com-
ponents will have mated together and seated.
Maintenance required as part of the initial servie
includes correction of all adjustments, tightening
of all fasteners and replacement of dirty oil.
Timely performance of this service will ensure
optimum service life and performance from the
engine.
The first month is the most important in the life
of your vehicle. Proper operation during this
break-in period will help ensure maximum life
and performance from your new vehicle.
The following guidelines explain proper break-in
procedures.
The initial service (after 1 month of
vehicle operation) should be per-
formed as outlined in the INSPEC-
TION AND MAINTENANCE section of
this Owner’s Manual. Pay particular
attention to the information con-
tained in the CAUTION and ARN-
ING section when performing this
maintenance.
ARNING
14
Avoid leaving any part of the lanyard
visible outside the bag as it can be

unsupervised operation of the
AATTVV
, remove the remote engine
stop switch cap and lanyard after
each use and store them in a safe
place, out of the reach of children.
ARNING
2. Hook the bag on the frame as shown and fit
the rubber cap snugly over the remote
engine stop switch body.
NOTE : ith the rubber cap off the
switch, the engine can not be
started because the ignition
circuit is not completed.

★DO NOT START THE
AATTVV
OR
ALLO YOUR CHILD TO RIDE YET
Finish reading the Riding Tips section and then
the instructing the Young Rider section before
starting the
AATTVV
or beginning riding instruc-
tions. The Riding Tips section contains impor-
tant operating information you will need to know
before you go to the Instructing the Young
Rider section. The Instructing the Young Rider
section will guide you in teaching young riders
how to operate and ride the
AATTVV
, using the
information you learn in this owner s manual.
All of the items above should be
checked with the engine off, except
the functional check of the remote
engine stop switch. Make sure your
child doesn’t get too close when you
check the fuel level and drive chain,
or he/she might be injured.
ARNING

★STARTING OFF
After the engine has warmed up, disengage the
parking brake. To release the parking brake,
simply squeeze the brake lever until the lock
knob disengages.
★BRAKING
To stop the
AATTVV
, release the throttle lever
and apply the brake.
Open the throttle gradually to move forward.
16
Do not run the engine indoors or
where there is little or no ventila-
tion. Exhaust gases contain car-
bon monoxide, a potentially lethal
gas that is colorless and odorless.
Never leave the vehicle running
while unattended, even for a short
time.
ARNING


Keep both hands on the handgrips at
all times when riding. Removing your
hands from the handgrips reduces
your ability to control the vehicle,
and could result in an accident.
ARNING
Always open the throttle gradually
to prevent front wheel lifting. Failure
to observe this precaution may
result in loss of control and an acci-
dent.
ARNING
Avoid braking during turns. Use of
the brake when turning could
cause the
AATTVVto slide or roll
over. Use the brake to slow down
before entering turns.
Apply the brake lightly and with
great care on slippery surfaces to
avoid skidding.
ARNING
Never operate the parking brake
lock when the
AATTVVis moving. The
rear wheels will lock, and an acci-
dent could result.
ARNING
Before releasing the parking brake,
make sure:
The throttle is fully closed.
The rider is completely ready to
ride.
If you do not observe these precau-
tions, the vehicle can move forward
unexpectedly when the parking
brake is released. This may result in
an accident and injury.
ARNING




hile operating the
AATTVV
, the rider
should keep both feet on the
footrests at all times, or injuries
resulting from accidents such as the
rear wheels running over the rider’s
feet could occur. There is no need
for the rider to move his/her feet
from the footrests during operation
or maneuvering of the vehicle.
Moving the rider’s feet from the
footrests reduces the rider’s ability
to control the vehicle, and could
lead to an accident.
ARNING
COPYRIGHTED

★TURNING
To turn the
AATTVV
the rider must learn a spe-
cial technique. Because this vehicle has a solid
rear axle, both rear wheels always turn at the
same speed. This means that if the rear wheels
are getting equal traction, the vehicle will move
straight ahead, because the rear wheels will
travel the same distance.
For the vehicle to turn, the outside rear wheel
must travel a greater distance than the inside
rear wheel. To make this happen, the rider must
learn how to create less traction for the inside
wheel, so that it can travel a shorter distance
than the outside wheel, even though both
wheels are still turning at the same speed.
To turn the
AATTVV
, the rider should use the fol-
lowing technique :
Turn the handlebars in the direction of the
turn.
Shift body weight slightly forward and support
your weight on the outer footrest. This will
reduce the load on the inside rear wheel,
reducing its traction.
Lean upper body into the turn.
■
At higher speeds :
Use the same technique that you use for turning
at low speeds, but lean farther into the turn.
Since natural turning forces(which tend to push
the vehicle to the outside of the turn) increase
as speed increases, you must lean your upper
body farther into the turn as you go faster, to
prevent the vehicle from tipping over to the out-
side of the turn. Remember, though, to keep
your weight supported on the outer footrest.
★SKIDDING OR SLIDING
If the rider experiences inadvertent skidding or
sliding when not braking, he/she may be able to
overcome it by using the appropriate technique
listed below.
■Front wheel:
If front wheel skidding occurs, try to gain front
wheel traction by reducing the throttle opening
and leaning your body weight slightly forward.
■Rear wheel
If rear wheel skidding occurs, steer in the direc-
tion of the skid (if space permits), shift body
weight away from the skid slightly, and avoid
using the throttle or brakes until you regain
directional control of the vehicle.
17



If the rider does not use the proper
technique to turn the
AATTVV
, it may
plow straight ahead even though the
front wheels are turned. The rider
should practice the above technique
at low speeds in a wide open area
until he/she has mastered it.
ARNING
Skidding or sliding can result in
accidents caused by loss of rider
control. To avoid inadvertent skid-
ding or sliding, the rider should slow
down and be very cautious when rid-
ing on slippery or loose surfaces.

★OPERATION ON HILLS
Riders who have become experienced at oper-
ating the
AATTVV
on level surfaces may wish to
try riding on a wider variety of terrains. The
AATTVVmay be operated on small hills with
even surfaces, but extreme care should be
taken.
■Climbing a Hill
To climb a small hill with the
AATTVV
, the rider
should:
Speed up and maintain a steady speed
before reaching the bottom of the hill.
Shift body weight forward by sliding forward
on the seat. Lean slightly forward.
Maintain a steady speed while climbing the
hill.
Slow down when reaching the top of the hill.
hen the
AATTVV
is operated on hills,
it can roll over more easily than
when it is operated on level ground,
under certain conditions. Only chil-
dren who are capable of safe opera-
tion of the
AATTVVon level ground
should be permitted to operate the
vehicle on hills.
ARNING
Only permit your child to climb small
hills. Do not let him/her attempt to
climb a hill unless you are sure that
he/she can easily ride to the top of
the hill without stopping. It can be
dangerous to stop the

1. Ask the adult who is supervising to help drag
the rear end of the
AATTVVaround until the
vehicle is angled downhill. Stay on the uphill
side of the vehicle while dragging it around.
2. Turn the handlebars fully to the right. While
standing on the uphill side of the vehicle,
release the parking brake and pump the
hand brake to let the
AATTVVroll slowly
backwards. This will turn the vehicle side-
ways to the hill. Reset the parking brake.
Turn the handlebars to the left. Staying on
the uphill side, release the parking brake and
pump the hand brake to let the ATV roll until
it is angled downhill. Reset the parking
brake.
Romount the vehicle, release the parking
brake and ride down the hill as instructed in
the DESCENDING A HILL section.
The rider should never allow the
AATTVVto roll backwards on a hill. If
the vehicle does begin to roll back-
wards, the rider should move his/her
body weight forward and try to slow
the vehicle to a stop using the
FRONT BRAKE ONLY. If the front
brake does not slow the vehicle, the
rider should dismount to the side
immediately. The rear brake should
never be used when rolling back-
wards on a hill. Use of the rear
brake can cause the vehicle to flip
over.
ARNING
Traversing a slope is very tricky and
should be avoided when possible.
Improper riding techniques while
traversing a slope could cause the
AATTVVto tip over. Do not permit
your child to traverse a slope unless
you are sure he/she can perform this
maneuver safely.
