Prevention Overview When using this ATV, prevention is the name of the game. “Had you only known” something could go wrong, you would have prevented it. If you don’t notice your conditions and surroundings before riding your ATV, you give up control over the situation. Using ATV prevention techniques helps you forecast potential hazards before they injure you or damage your ATV. Following the safety instructions and warnings in this manual will help you “P.A.S.S.” the safety test. P.A.S.S.
Helmets should have one of these: Remember, your helmet won’t do you any good if the chin strap isn’t fastened. Eye Protection 1. DOT label 2. Snell label 3. ANSI Z90.1 label Wear eye protection, such as goggles, to completely surround your eyes to prevent getting dirt or other items in your eyes. Do not depend on sunglasses for proper eye protection. Sunglasses are not recommended; they don’t prevent objects from flying in through the sides.

Also, check the status/warnCheck: ing indicators (reverse, neutral, and HILO beam) on the LCD when you start the 1. Forward ATV. Don’t drive the ATV unless all sys2. Neutral tems are working. Check the ignition 3.
6. MISCELLANEOUS ITEMS Water Inspect your air filter. Look for debris or damage that may indicate you need to replace it. A clogged filter can stop an engine. Check your battery terminals for corrosion. Also, be sure to tighten any loose parts, nuts, or bolts. Water is so important that you need to carry it regardless of the duration of your ride. Heat exhaustion and heat stroke can creep up suddenly and can take you out of commission.
Active Riding Overview “Active Riding” is the second part of “P.A.S.S.” It involves an understanding of how your body weight, balance, gravity, and physical forces affect the handling of the ATV. For example, when you drive a car quickly into a sharp turn, your body is pulled to the outside of the turn by centrifugal force. Although a car is relatively stable, enough centrifugal force can cause the ATV to overturn.
Overview You are not invincible. Knowing that the first “S” in “P.A.S.S.” stands for “Sound Judgment” means you need to use yours. Do you consider yourself to be pretty conservative, or are you a heavy risktaker? Before continuing with this section on sound judgment, check your Risk Factor by doing this short survey: 1. Do you drive over the speed limit? 1 2 3 Never Sometimes Often 2. Are you more daring around your friends than you are when alone? 1 2 3 Never Sometimes Often 9.
Sound Judgment Terrain Always pay close attention to the terrain you’re on, even if it is familiar to you. You can’t assume that the landscape you’re used to doesn’t change. Changes to landscape can happen at nearly any time. Fences can be constructed and excavations dug in a short period of time. Weather, climate, and development take their toll. Trail Signs Night Riding Riding at night can be very hazardous.
Riding Companions Maintenance Leave a lot of space between you and other riders, especially in dusty and dirty conditions, because it’ll be difficult to see the riders in front of you stopping. You have to maintain your ATV. The General Maintenance section of this Operator’s Manual tells you about taking care of your ATV.

Be aware of prescription and over-thecounter medications. Drowsiness and impaired judgment can be caused by a wide variety of medications. The same is true of allergy, cold, flu, and headache medications. Your physical size and weight can’t protect you... just one antihistamine tablet can affect your judgment. If your sense of adventure persuades you to do illegal drugs when you’re riding your ATV, this is a reality check.
Supervision Overview You’re responsible for supervising those who ride your ATV. Your wisdom is valuable... it’ll bring them all back safely— your friends, your family, your relatives, and your ATV. It’s crucial that you consider yourself a supervisor for all riders of your ATV. Whether you accept responsibility or not, the truth is that you are responsible for others riding your ATV. TRV’s are a little different from the handling to the stability to the controls.

ATV Operation 5. To make your turn quicker, try raising yourself off the seat a few inches as you shift your weight. K-Turns Use K-turns if you accidentally stall while riding uphill; you need to take action before the ATV rolls backward down the hill. 1. Stop where you are, apply the brakes, and shift to neutral. 2. Shut off the engine. 3. Keep your body weight shifted forward. 4. Ask the passenger to dismount. 5. Get off the ATV on the uphill side. 6.
ATV Operation Riding Downhill Success in riding downhill depends on how well you know your brakes—take it easy on them, or you could flip over. 1. Shift your body weight and passenger’s body weight as far back on the seat as possible. 2. Keep it in a gear; stay out of neutral. 3. Lightly apply the brake and ease up on the throttle. ATV-207 1. Accelerate before you start climbing; then maintain a steady pace. 2. Both the operator and the passenger should lean as far forward as possible.
ATV Operation ATV-0028 ATV-0029 1. Keep your speed low and consistent. 2. Shift all your body weight and passenger’s body weight to the uphill side of the seat; also, support weight on the uphill footrest. 3. Steer like you’re driving into the hill. 4. If the ATV feels like it’s tipping, turn the handlebar downhill. If that’s not possible because of the terrain or other conditions or if it just doesn’t work, stop and get off.
ATV Operation Crossing Obstacles Crossing obstacles is risky; avoid it if possible. Riding over logs, rocks, and ruts means combining all the active riding skills into one big motion. Your ATV will respond differently for different obstacles (logs, ruts, etc.), but these are general guidelines for overcoming twotrack (both tires contacting the obstacle at the same time) obstacles: 7. Apply a little throttle when the front tires make contact with the obstacle. 8.
