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 headlight, brake light and
taillight are working properly.
Loading Limits Make sure you do not exceed the load
limits (page 58).
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 147).
Brakes Squeeze the front and rear brake levers
and step on the rear brake pedal to check
that the controls operate normally. Check
for proper freeplay (pages 163, 165). Make
sure there is no brake fluid leakage.
Reverse Assist Lever Check the freeplay and adjust if needed
(page 150). Make sure the lever operates
smoothly without sticking.
