Is Your ATV Ready to Ride?
(cont’d)
If you are carrying cargo, also check the following:
Check these items after you get on the ATV:
Cable Check the cable housings for wear. Check
the fittings for looseness. Replace or tighten
as needed.
Lights Make sure the headlights, brake light and
taillight are working properly.
Loading Limits Make sure you do not exceed the load limits
(page 66).
Cargo Check that all cargo is secure.
Throttle Check the freeplay and adjust if needed.
Press the throttle to make sure it moves
smoothly without sticking, and snaps shut
automatically when it is released, in all
steering positions (page 154).
Brakes Squeeze the front and rear brake levers and
step on the rear brake pedal to check that
the controls operate normally. Depress the
rear brake pedal several times, then check
for proper rear brake lever/parking brake
lever freeplay (pages 171). Make sure there
is no brake fluid leakage.
Reverse Assist Lever Check the freeplay and adjust if needed
(page 157). Make sure the lever operates
smoothly without sticking.
