RIDING
Sit on the vehicle and slowly twist the throttle to start moving forward. When riding
the Quadard, keep in mind the rules applicable to riding four-wheel vehicles (sit on
the front part of the seat; do not lean back; try to keep the load of your body as
forward as possible)! Reduce speed accordingly when going around corners.
When braking, always reduce the throttle to the idle position whilst pressing the rear
brake lever with the necessary force to stop the machine. Turn the engine off with
the red button (‘engine kill stop switch‘) on the handlebars. Close the fuel cock
after every ride!
It is necessary to check the tightness of bolts and nuts, including the engine,
and the brake settings, before and after every use.
Always ride within the limits of vehicle/ rider and weather conditions to
avoid unnecessary accidents and injuries.
INSPECTION AND MAINTENANCE
Periodic maintenance check-ups are the best way to ensure premium condition of
the vehicle, providing safety and economical running costs. Perform these services
as listed below:
A - Before each ride:
- Check the rear brake cable and brake efficiency.
- Check the lubrication and tension of the chain. Any slack of the chain should be
adjusted to 5 mm (0,2 in).
- After every ride clean your Quadard carefully and keep it clean. Do not use
aggressive cleaning detergents.

- Check the tightness of all bolts and nuts. Tighten them with a torque wrench only!
