f or each ty pe of tire is printed on the the side of the tire. Some v ehicles with dif f erent tires on the f ront and rear

can create dangerous conditions that could result in loss of control and serious injury or death.
WARNING - Perform this pre-ride inspection prior to operating the v ehicle. If not performed, serious
damage to the v ehicle or personal injury may result.
1. ENGINE OIL LEVEL - Add oil if required. Check for leaks.
Tighten filler cap securely.
2. FUEL LEVEL - Add fuel as necessary. Do not overfill (no fuel in
the filler neck). Replace cap tightly. Check for leaks. Do not mix
oil with gas.
WARNING - Do not refill engine while it is hot. It is possible for
spilled fuel to ignite resulting in a fire. Do not fill gas tank in a
closed area such as a garage. After filling the tank move the
vehicle at least 15 feet away from spot of filling before starting.
3. BRAKES - PERFORM A BRAKE TEST: Have the operator sit in
the seat, then push the vehicle from behind. Once the vehicle is
rolling, have the operator apply the brake pedal. The vehicle should
come to a stop. WARNING- Do not operate this vehicle unless
the brake is working properly.
NOTE: Band brake systems typically require a short break-in
period to operate at full efficiency. Some wear on the lining of the
brake pads will increase the coefficient of friction and improve their
effectiveness. That can be accomplished by making a series of
gentle stops. Hard usage of the brakes without a break-in period
can result in shortened brake pad life and decrease braking ability.
4. TIRES - Check condition and pressure.
5. DRIVE CHAIN - Check condition, tension, lubricate as necessary.
6. THROTTLE - CHECK FOR SMOOTH OPERATION. Assure
throttle "snaps" back to idle. Also, check for frayed cable or
damaged cable conduit. If either condition exists replace the cable
assembly before riding.
7. TOGGLE KILL SW ITCH - PERFORM THIS TEST (only for
models without electric starter): While the engine is running, move
the toggle kill switch on the steerring column to the "OFF" position.
If this does not stop the engine, check to ensure that the toggle kill
switch wire is attached to the terminal on the engine. WARNING-
DO NOT OPERATE THIS VEHICLE WITH A TOGGLE KILL
SWITCH THAT IS NOT FUNCTIONING PROPERLY.
8. ALL NUTS, BOLTS, AND FASTENERS - Check wheels to see
that all axle nuts and lug nuts are tightened properly. Check and
tighten all other fasteners as necessary.
9. GUARDS - Ensure all protective guards are in place. NEVER
OPERATE THIS VEHICLE WITHOUT ALL CHAIN, CLUTCH,
OR DRIVE ASSEMBLY COVER GUARDS IN PLACE. Each of
these covers have a protective purpose, if removed, could endanger
the personal safety of the operator or passenger (if any).
10. STEERING SYSTEM - Ensure that it turns freely.
CORRECT any discrepancies according to the Ow ner's Manual before riding. If a problem
cannot be corrected, contact an authorized dealer/retailer for assistance
