Pre-Ride Check
Make sure the brakes don’t stick. Check t he brake levers by squeezing them t oward the
handlebar and then letting go. They should come right back to where they were before
you squeezed. If they go b ack slowly or stay close to the handlebar, your ATV has sticky
brakes. They must be fixed before you can ride your ATV safely.
Have an adult check to see if your ATV needs more gas. Childr en must never add their
own gasoline. This must always be done by an adult. Before anyone adds gasoline to
your ATV they must read the instructions and warnings on page 86 of this manual.
Never start the engine if your ATV has sticky brakes. You could be
seriously hurt if you ride with sticky brakes. Have an adult or your
Polaris dealer fix the sticky brakes before you ride.
Always have an adult put gas in your ATV. Never try to do it yourself.
