To decelerate
When slowing down or stopping, release the throt-
tle and apply the brakes smoothly and evenly. As
you slow down, shift to a lower gear. Be sure that
the engine has sufficiently slowed before engaging
a lower gear. Improper use of the brakes or shifting
can cause the tires to lose traction, reducing con-
trol and increasing the possibility of an accident.
WARNING
EWB00650

Even with the transmission in the neutral po-
sition, do not coast for long periods of time
with the engine off, and do not tow the ATV
for long distances. The transmission is prop-
erly lubricated only when the engine is run-
ning. Inadequate lubrication may damage
the transmission.
POTENTIAL HAZARD
Opening the throttle abruptly or releasing
the clutch lever too quickly.

the chance of an accident, including over-
turn.
HOW TO AVOID THE HAZARD
Open the throttle gradually.
Release the clutch lever gradually.

Engaging a lower gear when the engine
speed is too high.

traction. This could cause loss of control, an
accident and injury. It could also cause en-
gine or drive train damage.
HOW TO AVOID THE HAZARD

slowed before shifting to a lower gear.
