1. Preparations: Place the ATV on a level surface. Engage the parking brake. Set the transmission to Neutral. Turn the ignition to the "Off" position. Ensure you have a good quality pull cord.
2. Locate the Pull Starter: On the right side of the ATV, you'll find the pull starter.
3. Prime the Engine: If the engine has been sitting for a while or has a cold start, you may need to prime it. Look for the choke lever (usually a black knob or lever) and turn it on or pull it out. This allows more fuel into the engine, aiding in starting.
4. Pull the Cord: Grab the pull cord handle with your right hand and stand to the side of the ATV. Give the cord a firm and strong pull. Don't yank it aggressively, as this could damage the starter mechanism. Pull it smoothly until you feel resistance, then let it recoil slowly.
5. Repeat Pulling: Keep repeating the pulling motion until the engine starts running. Once it starts, release the pull cord slowly to prevent it from snapping back.
6. Turn Off the Choke: If you turned on the choke, once the engine starts, turn it off or push the choke lever back in. This ensures proper air-fuel mixture for normal running.
7. Throttle Control: Apply a little throttle to keep the engine running. Gradually increase throttle as needed.
8. Safety: Be careful while pulling the cord. Ensure your clothing or loose accessories don't get caught in the pull starter mechanism to avoid injury.
Remember, if you're experiencing difficulties starting the ATV or if it doesn't start after several pull attempts, there may be other underlying issues that require professional attention.
