CONTROL LOCATION Operating this ATV if you are under the age of 16 increases you chance of severe injury or death. Do not operate after consuming alcohol or drugs. Operator's performance capability is reduced by the influence of alcohol or drugs. 11 3. CONTROL LOCATION Know the terrain where you ride. Ride cautiously in unfamiliar areas. Stay alert for holes, rocks, or roots in the terrain, and other hidden hazards which may cause the machine to upset. Be familiar the terrain where you ride. You may not have enough time to react on the unfamiliar terrain such as hidden rocks, bumps, or holes. Be sure to go slowly any carefully when operating on unfamiliar terrain. 12 3. CONTROL LOCATION If your ATV has stalled or stopped and you believe you can continue up the hill, restart carefully to make sure you do not lift the front wheels which could cause you to lose control. If you are unable to continue up the hill, dismount the ATV on the uphill side. Physically turn the ATV around and then descend the hill. Avoid wheelies and jumping. You may lose control of the machine or overturn. 13 4. SAFE RIDING PRECAUTIONS To make a turn on level ground: Steer the handlebar and lean your body toward the inside of the turn. Leaning helps balance the vehicle, and it feels more comfortable. Leaning into a turn is an important technique to master in riding an ATV. When approaching a curve, slow down and begin to turn the handlebar. Next, put your weight on the footboard to the outside of the turn(opposite the turning direction) and lean your upper body forward into the turn. Use the throttle to maintain an even speed during the turn. To make a sharp turn at low speed: It helps to shift your body slightly forward on the seat, and lean inside, as you steer the handlebar. Shifting weight forward allows the rear wheels to turn easier, and it also improves front-wheel steering. 14 4. SAFE RIDING PRECAUTIONS Travel when easy slippery road surface, moves the body to front, is helpful to the vehicles advance. Although the from and rear brakes have separate controls, your ATV's fourwheel drive interconnects all four wheels. So operating any brake con will cause braking at both the front and rear wheels. As a general rule, the front braking system provides about 70 percent of total stopping power. For full braking effectiveness, use both the pedal and lever simultaneously. Using braking systems will stop your ATV faster with greater stability. Test your brakes after leaving the water. Do not continue to ride your ATV without verifying that you have regained proper braking ability. 15 4. SAFE RIDING PRECAUTIONS Crossing Hills or Slopes To maintain balance and stability when riding across a slope, you need to shift weight toward the uphill side of the vehicle. To do this, move your body off the center of the seat and lean toward the uphill side. Avoid hills with extremely slippery or loose surfaces. Shift your weight to the uphill side of the ATV. Avoid crossing hills that are excessively steep, slippery or rough. Making Turns on Slopes Compared to riding on level ground, you may need to shift more weight ant lean more when making turns on slopes. When ATV travel when rugged not good path, the body slightly stands, is helpful to the travel when the bodily stability. The ATV may slide during riding on loose or slippery surfaces. To reduce the tendency for the front wheels to slide in loose or slippery conditions, positioning your weight over the front wheels will help. If the rear wheels of ATV start to slide sideways, steer in the direction of the slide carefully. Applying the brakes or accelerating is not recommended until you have corrected the slide. 16 4. SAFE RIDING PRECAUTIONS Crossing a sloping surface requires a properly position on your weight to maintain proper balance. Be sure that you have learned the basic riding skills on flat ground before crossing a sloping surface. Avoid slopes with slippery surfaces or rough terrain that may upset your balance. When traveling across a slope, lean your body in the uphill direction. It may be necessary to front wheels slightly uphill. When riding on slopes, do not make sharp turns. If ATV does start to tip over, gradually steer in the downhill direction if there are no obstacles. Once recover proper balance, gradually steer again in the direction you to go. When climbing hills, you must shift weight toward the front wheels to help keep them on the ground. To do this, shift your body slightly forward on the seat and lean forward. For greater weight shift, move your body father forward and lean forward. CAUTION: Always check the terrain carefully before you startup any hill. Never climb hills with excessively slippery or loose surfaces. To climb a hill, take a running start in an appropriate gear and speed for the conditions. Maintain a steady speed as you ascend the hill. Never open the throttle suddenly or make sudden gear changes. The ATV could flip over backward. Never go over the top of any hill at high speed. An obstacle, a sharp drop, or another vehicle or person could be on the other side of the hill. 17 4. SAFE RIDING PRECAUTIONS It's usually advisable to descend hills with the ATV pointed straight downhill. Avoid angles that would cause the vehicle to lean sharply to one side. On downhills, shift your weight back. As you approach a downhill, stop and survey the terrain below. Never ride past the limit of your visibility. Never go down a hill at high speed. Use mainly the rear brake to control speed. Avoid using either the front brake or rear brake hard or abruptly when riding down hills. Remember, braking effectiveness is reduced on any hill with a loose surface. 18 5. USE OF EACH COMPONENT Gauges The following is SYM ATV basic operation.
