To increase the throttle's travel, thus increasing the maximum speed, turn the throttle stop bolt counter clockwise. To decrease the throttle's travel, thus decreasing the maximum speed, turn the throttle stop bolt clockwise. The throttle cable should be adjusted so there is 2mm, (1/8") free travel at the lever before the throttle starts to open. Page 7 CONTROL FEATURES Front and Rear Brakes This vehicle is equipped with dual front mechanical drum brakes and a rear hydraulic disc brake. The front brakes are controlled by the long brake lever on the right-handle bar. The rear brake is controlled by the long lever on the left-handle bar. Parking Brake The rear brake is the primary stopping brake on your vehicle. Using the rear brake to stop your vehicle will prevent steering control loss. Rear Disk Brake Lever The front brake lever has a button located at the pivot point to lock the brake in the, "O ", on position. This should be engaged as a parking brake whenever the vehicle is not in operation. This feature must be engaged in order to start the engine. The brake lever has a safety switch built in to prevent the engine from starting while the brake is disengaged. Use your front and rear brakes in combination to control your speed while descending a grade. Use caution not to apply too much pressure to your front brakes so that the wheels lock up, stop turning, and causing a loss of steering control. If the front wheels lock up, and stop turning, lightly reduce the pressure on the front brake lever until they unlock and start to turn. Page 8 CONTROL FEATURES Fuel System Fuel Tank NEVER REFUEL YOUR ATV when the engine is HOT. Wait 30 minutes after turning off the unit before refueling. Spilling fuel on a HOT engine could cause a fire. Wipe up any fuel spills before re-starting. Fuel Valve Vent Line Fuel Tank Cap The fuel tank fill cap is located on top of the unit just ahead of the seat. The cap contains a vent to prevent a vacuum from forming in the tank as fuel is used. The vent tube must be attached to the cap and inserted in the vent tube holder hole while operating the unit. The fuel cap vent and vent tube must be clean and clear of obstructions for the unit to operate normally. You can check the vent and vent tube by blowing air through the tube. If you can not blow through the vent tube and cap you must clean the vent and tube or replace them. Every time you refuel your unit, check the rubber seal inside the cap for cuts, tears and dirt. Clean or replace the seal if it becomes worn or torn. The seal must be in good condition to insure a proper seal of the cap to the tank to prevent fuel spills. DO NOT allow dirt or other debris to enter the tank when refueling. Replace the cap if damaged or if it will not seal to the tank. Tighten the cap snugly, being careful not to over tighten. Over tightening the cap can cause damage to the cap or seal. The fuel tank capacity is 9 liters, 2.37 gal, including a reserve of 1.5 liters, 0.4 gal. Use unleaded automobile gasoline with an octane level of 91 or higher. Your ATV is equipped with a fuel gage located in the instrument cluster between the handlebars. The unit is equipped with a vacuum controlled fuel valve. The fuel supply is automatically shut off when the engine is stopped. The fuel will automatically begin to flow when the engine is turned over. Fuel Line Vacumn Control Line To test the fuel valve remove the fuel line from the carburetor and place the end in a container to catch the fuel. Insure that your tank has fuel and press the starter button. Fuel should flow into the container from the fuel line. ALWAYS CHECK YOUR Fuel level before you start riding your ATV Remember: You can drive further in one hour on your ATV than you can walk in one day. Inline Fuel Filter Your ATV is equipped with an inline fuel filter to prevent dirt and debris from entering the carburetor and engine. Check the filter for dirt or damage before each ride and at each refueling. Replace the filter if dirty or damaged. DO NOT operate the unit with out a fuel filter. Doing so can cause damage to the carburetor and engine. Page 9 CONTROL FEATURES Fuel Line Tires and Wheels Tire & Wheel inspection Vacumn Control Line Inline Fule Filter The filter should be replaced every 600 hours of operation and at the start of each season. To replace the filter, carefully compress the wire clamp rings until the clamp is free of the fuel line. Slide each clamp away from the filter about 3 4 ". / Remove the filter from the fuel line by holding the line and pulling the filter. Install the new filter by inserting the filter into the fuel line and returning the clamps to the original position. Start the engine and check for leaks. Inspect the fuel lines for cuts, abrasions and deterioration. Replace fuel lines as needed. DO NOT start or operate the engine if the fuel filter or lines are leaking. Leaking fuel can cause a fire. It is important to inspect your tires and wheels for damage and wear before each riding session. Inspect each tire for cuts, tears and punctures. Inspect the wheel rim for dents and separation of the wheel from the tire bead. Replace any tire or wheel found to be damaged. Operating your ATV with damaged tires or wheels is dangerous. Damaged tires or wheels can result in a sudden loss of tire pressure and control which could result in injuries. Check your tire pressure before each riding session and at each refueling operation. Always check the pressure when the tires are cool. Use the tire pressure gauge that came with your ATV to check the tire pressure. ¡¹ Tire Pressure The pressure should be checked when the tires are "cold"before running the vehicle. The ¡¹ recommended pressure: 0.8 bar (12 psi) Max.

The oil tank capacity is 1.1 liters, 1.2qt. Fill the tank with high quality JASO FC grade 2 cycle engine oil. Using lower grade oil can cause exhaust smoke and result in damage to your engine. Your first tank of fuel should be a pre-mix fuel with a 50:1 fuel to oil ratio. This will insure the engine is lubricated and give the oil pump time to bleed any air from the oil line that may have occurred during shipping. Your ATV uses 2 cycle oil to lubricate the engine. The oil tank is located under the seat at the front of the unit. Oil is drawn from this tank by an oil injector pump when the engine is operating. TRANSMISSION OIL Changing Transmission Oil Oil Level Warning Light Transmission Fill Whole Plug Oil Level Warning Light (For ViperST.) (For YukonST.) The unit is also equipped with an oil level indicator lamp. The lamp will light when the oil level in the tank is Iow. When the lamp is lit you MUST refill the oil tank. DO NOT allow the engine to operate with an empty oil tank. Doing so will result in extensive damage to your engine. This damage is not covered under the warranty. 1. Place an oil catch pan under the unit directly below the transmission box. 2. Remove the transmission box drain plug located on the bottom of the transmission box on the underside of the unit. 3.

Reinstall the fill hole plug finger tight. 8. Dispose of used oil at a proper recycling station as required by law. Page 15 Air Filter C.V.T. Filter This unit is equipped with an air filter for the C.V.T. transmission. It is located on the lefthand side of the engine, just ahead of the kick starter spindle. The filter will accumulate dust Air Filter Maintenance To maintain the highest performance from your engine and to reduce excessive wear that could cause engine failure the engine requires a continuous flow of clean air. Air is taken into the engine through an air filter to clean the air prior to mixing it with fuel and oil in the carburetor. During normal operation the filter accumulates dirt from the air and will need to be cleaned to maintain the proper air flow. The filter should be cleaned every 30 days, more often if you ride in a dusty or dirty environment and the element should be replaced every year. The air filter box is located on the left side of the engine under the front fender. It is a black box about 6" square and is attached to the crankcase with two bolts and the carburetor by a tube. and must be cleaned periodically to maintain normal vehicle operations. Inspect and clean the filter every 30 operating days, more frequently if operated in a dusty environment. To clean the filter, remove the two cover bolts and remove the filter. Clean the filter element in a non-flammable solvent and let dry completely before reinstalling. Replace the filter element and the cover. Spark Plug Replace spark plug at the beginning of each season with a replacement plug NGK- BPR7HS. Disconnect spark plug wire. Clean dirt from around spark plug base with brush or air. Remove spark plug with spark plug wrench. Set the spark plug gap on the new plug to 0.023" Install the new plug screwing it in finger tight and then use the plug wrench to screw the plug in another 1/2 turn. Inspect the spark plug wire for cuts, nicks or other damage. Replace as needed. To clean the filter Remove the air filter box cover. Remove the filter element from the air box. Wash the element in a non-flammable solvent such as Air-Filter cleaner from your local auto parts dealer. 1. Dry the element completely before continuing. 2. Soak the element in clean engine oil until completely saturated. 3. Squeeze out the excess oil until the element does not drip any oil. 4. Allow the element to dry then reinstall the element and cover. Page 16 Braking Systems Your ATV unit is equip ped with dual front mechanical drum brakes and a rear hydraulic disc brake. The front brakes are applied by squeezing the brake lever on the right-handle bar, while the rear brake is applied by squeezing the brake lever on the left-handle bar. Proper maintenance of the brake system is a necessary part of safe operation of your unit. The brake systems should be inspected and tested before each riding session. operation. Tighten, repair or replace parts as needed to insure safe brake operation. Clean any build-up of mud or debris from the brake mechanism. The brakes are equipped with a wear indicator to alert you when your brake shoes need replacing. Apply light pressure to the brake lever and slowly push the unit forward. If you hear a high pitched metallic scraping sound, you need to replace your brake shoes. The minimum shoe lining thickness is 1.5mm. DO NOT RIDE A UNIT WITH WORNBRAKE SHOES. Test the brakes by applying pressure to the brake lever and trying to push the unit forward. If the wheel rotates while the brakes are applied, adjust the brake cable until the wheels no longer rotate. (See Brake Adjustment) Front Brake System Inspection Front Brake Adjustment Visually inspect the brake cables for any signs of wear. Inspect the cables for frays and kinks that inhibit the free movement of the cable. Replace frayed or kinked cable before operating your unit. Inspect the cables for rust or corrosion. Replace any brake cable that show signs of corrosion as this could cause a reduction in cable strength that can lead to the cable breaking. Adjust the brake cable so that the lever has zero free play and a minimum clearance of 1/2 " between the lever and the handle grip when the brake is fully applied. Adjust the cable by using the adjustment wheel where the cable attaches to the lever assembly. After obtaining the correct adjustment, insure that the locking nut is tightened securely against the adjusting wheel to prevent the adjustment wheel from turning due to vibration. Keep your brake cables lubricated with a high quality cable lubricant to prevent rust and corrosion. The cables should be lubricated every 60 days or more often if operated in a dusty or wet environment. Replacement of the brake shoes and cables should ONLY be preformed by a qualified mechanic. Inspect the brake arm, spring, rod and fastener for signs of wear or damage. Operate the brake lever while watching the brake mechanism for proper Page 17 Rear Brake System Inspection Visually inspect the brake hose for any signs of wear or leaks. Check the fluid level in the fluid reservoir by checking the site glass for the level. To Fill the Reservoir Remove the reservoir cover by removing the two cover bolts. Brake Fluid Resivour Site Glass The fluid level should fill at least /4 of site glass when the unit is setting on a level surface. Test the brakes by applying pressure to the brake lever and trying to push the unit forward. If the wheel rotates while the brakes are applied, check your fluid level and brake pads. If the brake lever feels spongy or does not stop when squeezed, you may have air in the lines. All air must be purged from the brake lines for the disc brake to operate properly. (See purging brake lines). 3 Fill the reservoir to 1/8" from top with Dot-3 SAE-J 1703 grade brake fluid. Caution: DO NOT allow dirt to fall into the reservoir Refold the cover gasket as shown in picture and replace cover and bolts After riding your unit, be sure to clean any build up of mud, sand and dirt from the brake rotor skid plate. This will protect the rotor disc from rust and corrosion. Page 18 Purging Brake Lines Electrical Battery YukonST ViperST The unit's battery is located under the seat and supplies electrical power to the unit. The battery is a 12 volt jell acid type that contains no liquid electrolyte. The battery should be removed from the vehicle when stored for extended periods and charged before being replaced in the unit. Use a trickle charger set at 12 volts to recharge the battery to full charge before replacing it in the unit. When reinstalling the battery, be sure to connect the red cable to the positive (+) terminal and the black cable to the negative (-) terminal. The battery should be replaced eve ry three years or when it no longer holds a charge. Do not expose the battery, for extended periods of time, to freezing temperatures. If the battery has been frozen it will need to be replaced. There is an inline fuse on the positive lead of the battery to protect the wiring system from over loads. If your starter motor will not turn over and the battery is fully charged, check the inline fuse on the unit. For the hydraulic brake system to operate safely, the brake system must be purged of air in the lines and reservoir. To bleed the air will require two people to perform the following procedure. 1. Place a drain pan under the brake caliper to catch the fluid. 2. Open the bleeder valve 1/2 turn counter clockwise. 3. Squeeze the brake lever to expel air from the system. 4. While holding the brake lever, close the bleeder valve. 5. Repeat steps 2 through 4 until the brake fluid coming from the bleeder valve is a solid stream without any air, then close the valve and replace rubber protection cap. 6. Test the brake system by squeezing the lever, the lever should feel firm and stop without fading. 7A Fuse Replace the fuse with a 7A fuse. Page 19 Throttle Lever The throttle lever is located beside the righthandlebar grip and is operated by using the righthand thumb. The lever is spring loaded and will return to the idle position when you remove your thumb from the lever. To accelerate the unit, simply press the lever forward to open the throttle slide in the carburetor. To slow the unit, reduce the pressure on the lever or remove your thumb and the throttle will return to the idle position automatically. maximum speed of the unit. Turning the stop screw counter clockwise will increase the throttle travel thus increasing the maximum speed of the unit. Tighten the stop screw locking nut when the desired throttle travel has been established. Adjusting the throttle cable Locking Nut Adjuster Nut The cable should be adjusted to allow for 1/8" free travel before the throttle engages the carburetor throttle slide. Slide the adjuster cover down the cable to uncover the adjuster assembly. To adjust the cable's free travel, loosen the locking nut of the cable adjuster, and turn the adjuster nut until there is 1/8" free travel in the lever. Tighten the locking nut to secure the adjusting nut. Slide the cover back over the adjuster assembly. The speed of the unit can be adjusted by adjusting the throttle stop screw to limit throttle travel. Loosen the throttle stop screw locking nut and turn the throttle stop screw clockwise to reduce the throttle travel thus reducing the Page 20 Drive Chain 10-20mm 0.39"-0.79" The chain should be kept well lubricated to prevent excess wear and premature failure. We recommend that you lubricate the chain every 15 hours of operation, or more frequently if needed, with a high quality chain lubricant. The drive chain will stretch with use and will require periodic adjustments. To check the chain tension, remove the chain guard and measure the slack. The amount of slack in the chain should not exceed 10-20mm or 0.39"-0.79". Inspect the drive and axle sprockets for worn, damaged or broken teeth. Replace as needed. Inspect the chain links for damaged, worn or loose rivets. Repair or replace as needed. Chain Slack Adjustment Loosen the axle position lock bolt slightly and turn the chain adjuster nut to take up the excess slack in the chain. Once the chain has been adjusted to the proper tension retighten the axle position locking bolt.

PROTECT YOURSELF Wear protective riding gear and clothing : long sleeve, long pants over-the-ankle boots gloves helmet eye protection Warm up your muscles. For flexibility, do a few simple stretching exercise. STARTING PROCEDURE & WARM UP Park the vehicle on a level surface. Begin with a pre-start routine, easily remembered as BONE-C: B-Brake (set the parking brake) O-On( insert the key and turn on the ignition; turn the fuel valve to "ON") N-Neutral (make sure the ATV is in neutral with the green light on) E-Engine stop switch( move the switch to "ON" ) C-Choke (since Vehicle has an automatic choke, you need only push the throttle lever slightly when starting the engine) Push the start button on the left handle bar. After warming up the engine, release the parking brake. The vehicle is now ready for riding. BREAK-IN YOUR NEW E-TON ATV During the first two weeks of riding, go gently. Do not run at high speeds. Do not approach the maximum RPMs during the break-in period. Failing to adequately break-in your E-TON ATV will decrease the long- term power and life of the engine. Page 23 THE BASICS - START SLOW. USE CAUTION Select a safe area with a level surface that is Free of obstacles. Normally, touching your feet to the ground for balance is not necessary. To increase engine speed, gradually open the throttle. When you park, park on a level surface. Stop the vehicle with the bake and move the engine stop switch to OFF. Lock the parking brake at the left handlebar. POSTURE AND FORM For comfort, balance, control and safety, Keep head and eyes up, looking ahead, rather than at the ground. Keep shoulders relaxed and back straight. Bend elbows slightly and hold them away from body. Always keep hands on the handlebars. Keep knees in and feet on the footrests, with lose pointing straight ahead. (A foot on the ground could mean it gets run over.) TURNING The rear axle of your E-TON ATV does not have a differential. In a turn, the outer wheels travel a wider radius (greater distance) than the inner wheels. Therefore, you must do more than steer when turning. Turning requires shifting your weight and using the throttle. To turn, Steer in the direction of the turn and lean your body to the inside of the turn while supporting your weight on the outer footrest. Use the throttle to maintain power throughout the turn. Incorrect turning may cause the front wheels to slide straight ahead. If this happens, back off the throttle and Stop. To keep from skidding on slippery terrain, avoid braking or accelerating until you have regained directional control. PRACTICE Before hitting the trails Practice stop and go until they're smooth. Practice slow speed turns. Practice figure eight turns, wide at first, then tighter. Keep speeds slow. Increase speed as skills and comfort evel develop. Page 24 RIDING IN REVERSE To shift into reverse: Make sure the ATV is completely stopped, and the transmission is in neutral. Check for obstacles or people behind you. Squeeze the rear brake level. Push the gearshift bar to backward position. Open the throttle gradually. When stopping in reverse gear, carefully apply both the front and rear brakes. NOTE: The engine will kill if you do not engage the rear brake lever when shifting into reverse. If this happens, turn off the ignition and turn it on again. KEEP YOUR DISTANCE AND TREAD LIGHTLY Maintain a safe distance between vehicle. Tread lightly. Respect the land. Ensure that others are able to enjoy the sport.
