Practice with the engine off until your
child gets the feel of using the brakes
and can stop the vehicle and turn off
the engine stop switch without looking
at the controls, and without hesitation.
Next, start the LT-Z50’s engine and
have your child practice starting off,
riding in a straight line and stopping.
Make sure the throttle limiter is set to
provide low speed capability. Walk
alongside of the ATV. You can also
walk behind the ATV and use the
remote engine stop switch. Watch
closely to make sure the rider:
1. Opens the throttle gently when
starting off.
2. Releases the throttle and then
applies the brakes when stopping.
3. Becomes aware of the distance it
takes the vehicle to stop when the
brakes are applied or when the
engine stop switch is turned off.
As you approach the end of the prac-
tice area, you should again tell the
rider to stop the vehicle, apply the
parking brake, and get off so you can
turn it around for him/her. Practice
this exercise until your child can start
off, accelerate, move and stop cor-
rectly and with confidence.
