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.
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.
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.
