PRE-RIDE CHECK
We’re almost ready to have an adult start your ATV. But before the ATV is started for the first time, you
must do a Pre-Ride Check. In fact, every time you want to ride you must have an adult help you check
some things on your ATV before starting it. Let’s learn about these things now.
1. Make sure the throttle doesn’t stick. Check this by pushing the throttle lever toward the handlebar
and then letting go. The lever should come right back to where it was before you pushed it. If it
comes back slowly or stays close to the handlebar, the ATV has a sticky throttle. This means that
something is wrong or broken and must be fixed before you can ride your ATV safely.
WARNING
Never start the engine if you have a sticky throttle. You could be seriously hurt if you ride with a sticky
throttle. Have an adult or your POLARIS dealer fix the throttle before you ride.
2. Make sure the brakes don’t stick. Check the brake levers by squeezing them toward the handlebar
and then letting go. They should come right back to where they were before you squeezed. If they
go back slowly or stay close to the handlebar, your ATV has sticky brakes. They must be fixed
before you can ride your ATV safely.
