I. On water-cooled vehicles
1) Hook up battery, and assemble the
rest of the unit.
2) FOR WHEEL ASSEMBLY, the wheel
goes on first, then the wheel spacer (kinda pushes up underneath the hub), then
flange washer, then the castle nut (finger tight), then tighten the nut down
further until you can insert the cotter pin through the hole in the castle nut
and the hole in the axle, Insert cotter pin.
3) use dipstick to make sure that
there is enough engine oil. Mini atv use regular oil 10W30. (110cc atv=has
sight glass, no dip stick). Once it is broke in, after about an hour of use,
use 10w30 synthetic.
4) Loosen the bottom screw on the
bottom of the carburetor to relieve the extra gas pressure. It allows the air
to escape so that the gas can flow in and take its place . Then tighten this
screw back up. This can often be the problem on 20% of the mini atvs that will
not start.
5) do not use remote control for
starting the first time. In fact we recommend that you never use the remote to
start it because it drains the battery (also it takes off, idle speed makes it
move when no one is on it).
6) Put gas in the gas tank. Use high
93 octane gasoline. Jets in the carb jets are very small and lower grade
gasoline will clog them..
7) Make sure the throttle cable is
pushed all the way into the top of the black rubber holder at the very top of
the carburetor. Nut on top of the carburetor needs to be screwed down all the
way down.
8)– turn on gas petcock (located on
right side of carburetor, turn clockwise to on-it allows gas to fill the gas
lines and the bottom of the carburator). Some models- this is not necessary
because there is no gas shutoff valve=petcock.
9) put the key in the off position,
then on the remote push lock and then unlock, then push lock and then unlock a
second time.
10) turn key to ON. To start the
unit for the first time, you must use the key to start it. In order to use the
remote start, the engine MUST be hot and the fuel lines must be full (will not
cold start because you need to choke it anyway, defeating the purpose of the
remote start)
11) Raise the back end of the unit
up and put a block under the back end. This is a good position to have it in as
you make adjustments while starting.
12) Fully choke the unit. We have
two different models of chokes. One has the choke on the left handle bar
(horizontal movement). The other has a vertical movement choke on the left side
of the carburator. This carburetor of course is up under the plastic body of
the atv. To start the unit, it has to be choked (left handle bar choke- slider
should be all the way to the left (fully choked), other type=Carburator choke-
slider should be all the way up (fully choked)
13) For some models -Set the left
hand brake (pull back on the left handle brake lever) and then push red button
(kill switch) on left handle grip=THIS IS OUR #1 Problem, because if you cannot
start it and you continue to give it more and more gas = Flooding the engine
and running too rich which then deposits BLACK carbon deposits on your spark
plug making it very hard to start in the future. For other models -Set the left
hand brake (pull back on the left handle brake lever) and push red switch
forward on left handle grip (rocker switch). ON black models-turn the gas
shutoff (on right side of carburetor) on (lever needs to be down).
14) push starter button on left
handle bar which is yellow on some models, it is a black button on other
models, which is below the red kill switch.
15) when choke is on and you push
the start button it will start up and almost immediately it will die. Then turn
the choke off , then push start button and it will restart immediately and NOW
work the throttle to keep it going while it warms up. (if you leave the choke
up while running or idling you will FOUL your spark plug because you are too
rich and the spark plug turns black).
16) after starting, Let it idle for
2-3 minutes.
17) Now you are ready to ride the
mini atv.
18) Adjust maximum riding speed -
When riding the atv, adjust the maximum speed control with the black long screw
that sticks out of the right handle grip (see picture). When you loosen the
screw, it increases the maximum speed, when you screw it in, it reduces the
maximum speed. After adjusting the maximum speed to the desired setting,
tighten the nut around the bolt tightly so that the bolt does not fall out. Also
if the bolt is free to vibrate, it will change your maximum speed setting.
*This
advice especially relates to children on smaller ATVs but applies equally to
beginners of all ages.
*Instructing
the rider. *Important advice to parents, teachers or instructors.
Your
student’s safety depends on your commitment to take the time necessary to fully
educate him/her on the proper operation of the ATV. Remember that proper
instruction before your student begins to ride is just as important as proper
instruction and supervision while riding. Please go through this manual with
your student page by page. Fully explain all of the instructions, requirements
and warnings it contains. Be sure to put as much emphasis on safety precautions
as on proper operational techniques. Question your student as you go through
the manual to ensure s/he understands what you are saying. Following is a
step-by-step guide to help make your student’s first use of the ATV safe and
enjoyable. Before you begin to use this guide, however, be sure you have
reviewed the vehicle features and riding techniques described in the earlier
parts of the manual. We strongly urges that you use this guide to teach each
student whom you let ride the ATV. Be sure to take breaks as the student
becomes tired or his/her attention starts to wander. Full Attention at all
times is needed to safely operate any motorized vehicle, including this ATV.
STEP 1: PROPER CLOTHING & PROTECTIVE GEAR The first step to safe riding is
proper protection of the rider. Your student should always wear a helmet, eye
protection, gloves, long pants, a long-sleeved shirt or jacket and boots. Make
sure your student is not wearing any loose-fitting clothes. Loose belts,
scarves, etc., can get caught in moving parts and cause personal injury. Even
in hot weather, make sure the student wears long pants and a long-sleeved
shirt. These not only protect against abrasive injuries but also help reduce
fatigue which comes from loss of body heat caused by exposure to the wind. STEP
2: FAMILIARIZATION WITH THE VEHICLE Your student should become completely
familiar with the names and functions of all controls. Demonstrate operation of
the controls if necessary. Ask the student to do such things as “Apply the
brakes. Turn off the engine,†etc. Practice this exercise until the student can
operate all of the controls without hesitation and without looking at the
controls. Review the instructions with your student until she/he knows all the
items that should be checked. Give specific examples of things to look for.
STEP 3: STARTING OFF AND STOPPING To help your student develop confidence,
she/he should PRACTICE FIRST WITH THE ENGINE OFF, as follows:
1.
Have student sit on ATV.
2.
Instruct student to keep his/her eyes straight ahead while you slowly push the
vehicle from behind. This will give the student the “feel†of riding a moving
vehicle.
3.
As you push the ATV, instruct your student to steer straight ahead and perform
operations such as stopping the vehicle and turning OFF the engine switch while
moving. Watch your student closely to make sure she/he is operating the
controls correctly and without looking at them.
4.
As you approach the end of the practice area, tell your student to stop the
vehicle. You should drag the rear end of the ATV around so you can push it
straight ahead in the opposite direction.
5.
Practice with the engine OFF until your student gets the “feel†of using the
brakes and can stop the vehicle and turn OFF the engine switch without
hesitation and without looking at the controls. STEP 4: ADJUST THE SPEED
LIMITER TO SLOW NOW. Next start the ATV’s engine and have the student practice
starting off, riding in a straight line and stopping with the vehicle under
power. Walk alongside the ATV and hold the engine cutout switch cord or have
the student ride back and forth between you and another supervising adult. Make
sure your student: 1. Opens the throttle gently when starting off. 2. Releases
the throttle and applies the brakes in sequence when stopping. 3. Becomes aware
of the distance it takes the vehicle to stop when the engine switch is turned
OFF while the vehicle is moving. As you approach the end of the practice
session, you should again tell the rider to stop the vehicle and get off so you
can turn it around for him/her. Practice this exercise until your student can
start off, accelerate, cruise and stop correctly and confidently. STEP 5:
TURNING: After your student has learned to ride the ATV in a straight line and
can stop it at will, you should teach the student how to turn the vehicle.
Explain the proper body movements for turning and let the student PRACTICE
FIRST WITH THE ENGINE OFF as you push the vehicle from behind. When turning,
watch to make sure your student: 1. Shifts his/her weight slightly forward and
supports his/her weight on the outer footrest. 2. Leans his/her upper body into
the direction of the turn, pressing down with the opposite leg. When the rider
is able to properly turn the ATV in both directions with the engine OFF, she/he
should practice turning with the vehicle under power. Again, make sure that the
throttle limiter is adjusted to provide a low maximum speed capability. Watch
closely to make sure the rider is using the proper technique. The rider should
practice turning until s/he can do so correctly and confidently. STEP 6:
PUTTING IT ALL TOGETHER When your student has mastered the basic riding maneuvers
in the previously listed steps, she/he should practice them all together.
Instruct the student to perform various maneuvers such as turning right,
turning left, stopping, etc. Vary the order of these maneuvers so the student
will not anticipate what s/he will be asked to do next. Practice this exercise
until you are confident that the rider has mastered all the basic maneuvers.
Using this procedure will help the first-time rider learn the most basic riding
techniques. To become a skilled rider, your student will need a great deal of
practice and continuing instruction in addition to completing these
introductory steps. After all the riding
techniques have been mastered, you
can adjust the throttle limiter to provide higher speed capabilities in keeping
with the rider’s skill and experience.
