Yamaha 5TH-28199-15 Offroad Vehicle User Manual


 
AN IMPORTANT NOTE TO PARENTS:
This ATV is not a toy. Before you let your child ride this ATV, you should understand the instructions
and warnings in this Owner’s Manual. Then be sure your child understands and will follow them.
Children differ in skills, physical abilities and judgment. Some children may not be able to operate an
ATV safely. Parents should supervise their child’s use of the ATV at all times. Parents should permit
continued use only if they determine that the child has the ability to operate the ATV safely.
Your ATV was delivered with an adjustable speed limiter and also with an air intake restrictor plate.
Yamaha recommends that all beginners start off with the speed limiter screw turned in and the air
intake restrictor plate installed to limit the amount of speed available while they learn. The limiter screw
may be gradually turned out to increase maximum speed as the beginner becomes more familiar with
operating the ATV. Parents should decide when to adjust the ATV for more power as their youngster’s
riding skills improve. Once the ATV rider can operate with skill at the top speed permitted by adjusting
the speed limiter alone, the air intake restrictor plate can be removed. Since removal of this plate will
result in a significant increase in power, turn the speed limiter back in again; adjust it out in stages as
you did before.
If your child is a beginner or is inexperienced, he or she should take a training course. See the previ-
ous page for information about the free training available to purchasers of new ATVs.
