Drive select lever 

The drive select lever is used to shift your ATV into

the forward, neutral and reverse positions. See the

“Operating the drive select lever and driving in re-

verse” section on page 6-3 for the drive select lever

operation.

EBU18660

Recoil starter 

Firmly grasp the handle and pull slightly until en-

gagement can be felt. Then pull forcefully, being

careful not to pull the rope all the way out.

POTENTIAL HAZARD

Improper use of the parking brake.

WHAT CAN HAPPEN

The ATV could start moving unexpectedly if

the parking brake is not applied before start-

ing the engine. This could cause loss of con-

trol or a collision.

The brake could overheat if you ride the ATV

without releasing the parking brake. You

could lose braking performance which could

cause an accident. You could also wear out

the brakes prematurely.

HOW TO AVOID THE HAZARD

Always set the parking brake before starting

the engine.

Always be sure you have released the park-

ing brake before you begin to ride.
