[. . . ] OWNER'S MANUAL KWANG YANG MOTOR CO. , LTD. MXU 250/150/50 ON-ROAD Issued: 23. DEC. 2005 IMPORTANT NOTICES READ THIS MANUAL CAREFULLY Your Owner's Manual contains important information on safety, operation, and maintenance. Any one who operates this ATV should carefully read and understand the contents of this manual before riding the vehicle. AGE RECOMMENDATION The minimum recommended age for this ATV model is 16. Children under age 16 should never operate this vehicle. [. . . ] Make sure that this area is free of obstacles and other riders. You should practice control of the throttle, brakes, shifting before trying more difficult terrain. Always avoid riding on rough surfaces: the ATV is designed for on-road use only, and handling maneuvers are more difficult to perform on rough surfaces . Set the parking brake and follow the instruction on page 75~79 to start the engine. Once it has warmed up you are ready to begin riding your ATV. Remember that the engine and exhaust pipe will be hot when riding and afterwards; do not allow skin or clothing to come in contact with these components. With the engine idling, return the starter knob to the closed position and shift the drive select lever into the forward position. Apply the throttle slowly and you will start to accelerate. If the throttle is applied too abruptly, the front wheels may lift off the ground resulting in a loss of directional control. Avoid higher speeds until you are thoroughly familiar with the operation of your ATV. When slowing down or stopping, release the throttle and apply the brakes smoothly and evenly. Improper use of the brakes can cause the tires to lose traction, reducing control and increasing the possibility of an accident. 105 SPEED LIMITER FOR NEW RIDERS Your ATV has an adjustable throttle limiter. The screw and locknut in the lower throttle housing can be adjusted to limit throttle lever movement. To adjust the throttle limiter: 1. Turn the throttle limiter screw (1) clockwise to reduce throttle lever movement or counterclockwise to increase throttle lever movement. Hole the screw in place and tighten the lock nut. (2) (1) (1) Adjuster (2) Locknut 106 BRAKING Practice starting and stopping at slow speeds. Gradually work up to faster starts and stops. Close the throttle completely, remove your thumb from the throttle lever. Gently apply the brakes: pull both hand levers. Gradually increase the lever or/and pedal pressure as you feel the brakes slowing your speed. The pressure used depends on your speed and the condition of the terrain you are riding. Slick , slippery or muddy ground Pulling one or both brake levers or/and depressing brake pedal too hard may cause the front and/or rear wheels to skid or slide out of control.
