 Safety Notes
1. Both the adult supervisor and youth operator must fully understand everything in this manual
before operating this vehicle.

2. This vehicle was designed for the operator only. NO PASSENGERS should be allowed on
this vehicle.

3. This vehicle is designed for operation on level, obstacle free off-road areas.

4. Riding this vehicle on public roads or highways is illegal. If it becomes necessary to cross a
public road or highway, the vehicle should be pushed across using extreme caution.

5. This vehicle MUST NOT be operated without adult supervision and instruction.

6. DO NOT operate this vehicle while under the influence of drugs, alcohol or other medication
that impairs judgment or coordination. Doing so can result in serious injury or even death.

7. Maintain a safe distance between your vehicle

and other vehicles with whom you are riding.

8. READ the owner’s manual carefully before

riding.

9. ALWAYS wear a helmet, face shield, elbow &

knee pads, hard-soled boots, gloves, and protective
clothing while operating this vehicle.

Page 4
10. NEVER ride this vehicle unless it has
been properly maintained and adjusted.
Always perform a pre-ride inspection of your
vehicle. Look for wires, bolts and other
fasteners that may have come loose on
previous rides. Inspect the drive chain,
throttle and brakes for proper adjustment and
operation. Check the engine oil level in the oil
tank. Check fuel level and inspect for fuel
leaks. (Remember, you can ride further in 1
hour than you can walk back in 1 day!)

11. WARM UP your body with some exercises

before riding. This helps to make you alert and
prevent cramping and other discomfort.

12. LEARN TO RIDE this vehicle properly and

safely. Have an experienced rider teach you the
safe operation of your vehicle. E-TON
recommends you take an ATV riding course
before you first ride your vehicle.

Page 5
13. NEVER REFUEL this vehicle when hot. Ask
your adult supervisor to refuel your vehicle.
Gasoline is extremely flammable and will ignite if
spilled on a hot engine or muffler. Never smoke
or expose the fuel to an open flame or spark
while refueling your vehicle. Always refuel your
vehicle in a safe place free of any ignition source.

14. NEVER run the vehicle in an enclosed area. The

exhaust gases from the engine contain CARBON
MONOXIDE which can be fatal if breathed in high
concentrations for an extended time.

15. HOT! The engine and exhaust system on

your vehicle become very hot during normal
operation. Touching these hot surfaces can
cause severe burns. Always assume that your
unit’s engine and exhaust system are HOT
unless you know that they are not.

Page 6
Additional safety tips:
• Participate in an approved ATV safety education training program
• Always provide responsible adult supervision for ATV operators younger than 18 years of age
• Don't let youngsters ride full-sized ATV's
• Follow all safety recommendations of the ATV manufacturer
• Operate ATVs only during daylight
• Wear a helmet with face protection at all times
• Operate only four-wheeled ATVs
• Provide a drug and alcohol free environment
• Always use the buddy system
• Avoid riding in areas where contact with automobiles might be possible
• Drive ATVs on surfaces as recommended by the manufacturer
• Travel at speeds conducive to conditions and operator abilities
• Check on the conditions of the trails you will be traveling
• Know and understand local and state laws governing the use of ATVs
• Permit only one operator per ATV
• Insist on a "perfect fit" between the ATV and the physical, mental, and emotional maturity of the operator
• Use antenna flags and wear bright clothing to increase conspicuity.
• Use maps and compass if you are riding in an unfamiliar area.
• Make a mental note of landmarks; you may need them if you are stranded.
• If you are lost at night, do not move around. You will waste valuable fuel that you can use to ride safety in
the daylight.
• Carry a first-aid pack with you.
• Carry some snacks and a water supply with you.
• Carry equipment to handle medical and mechanical emergencies.
• Your vehicle field repair kit should include the following items;
o the manufacturer's tool kit
o wire, tape, elastic cords,
o possibly locking pliers
o and a tow rope.
• Pre-Ride Inspection - Inspecting the condition of your ATV before each ride is very important to minimize
the chance of injury and maximize the enjoyment of your ride. It also helps ensures long term
performance of your ATV. Follow the owner’s manual guide to inspection and maintenance of your ATV.
A well maintained ATV will give you years of enjoyment.
• Watch out for thin ice which may be camouflaged by snow.
• Remember, you can ride further in one hour than you can walk in an entire day.

of the unit.

Page 20
Start your ATV by following the starting
procedure above and allow the engine a few
minutes to warm up before releasing the
parking brake.

Start the unit by slowly increasing the throttle

until the unit begins moving.

Turning your ATV

Learning to turn your ATV requires you to
learn to shift your weight and control the
throttle to allow the rear wheels to turn
properly. When making a turn, the wheels on
the outside of the turn must travel a wider
radius and thus a greater distance than the
inside wheels of the turn. Since the rear axle
does not permit a different rate of rotation, it is
not enough to merely steer your ATV into the
turn.

To turn properly, 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.

If you do not use this turning technique the

unit will have a tendency to continue in a
straight line. If this occurs, release the throttle
lever to allow the unit to stop.
Avoid braking or accelerating until you have
regained directional control.

Parking Your ATV

1. Always park your ATV on a level
surface.
2. Turn the ignition key to the “OFF’”
position to stop the engine.
3. Set the engine stop switch to “OFF”
position.
4. Engage the parking brake locking
button.
5. Turn the fuel valve to the “OFF”
position.
6. Remove the ignition key to prevent
unauthorized use or theft of your ATV.
