RIDING THE VEHICLE
While reading this Operator’s Guide, reminder that:
WARNING
Indicates a potential hazard that, if not avoided, could result in serious injury or death.
To fully appreciate the pleasures and excitement of riding this vehicle, there are some basic rules and tips that you MUST follow. Some may be new to you while others may be common sense or obvious.
Please take the time to study this Operator's Guide and all on-product safety labels as well as the
SAFETY DVD
that came with this vehicle. They more completely describe what you should know about this vehicle before riding it.
Whether you are a new user or an experienced rider, it is important for your personal safety as well as passenger safety that you know the controls and features of this vehicle. Equally important is knowing how to properly ride.
Information in this Operator's Guide is limited. It is strongly recommended that you obtain further information and training from your local authorities, ATV clubs or a recognized ATV training organization.
BRP recommends that no one under the age of 16 drives this vehicle. On 2-UP models, the passenger should be 12 years old or more and must be capable of keeping his feet on the footrests and his hands on the grab handles at all times when seated. For the child's safety, we strongly recommend you also follow and enforce this recommendation. You are the sole judge of a rider's capability to understand the risks and operate a vehicle safely.
Persons with cognitive or physical impairments or who are high risk takers have an increased exposure to overturns or collisions which may result in injury including death.
Not all vehicles are the same. Each has its own unique performance characteristics, controls and features. Each will ride and handle differently.
Become completely familiar with the operational controls and the general operation of the vehicle before venturing into off road conditions. Practice driving in a suitable area free of hazards and feel the response of each control. Drive at low speeds. Higher speeds require greater experience, knowledge and suitable riding conditions.
Riding conditions vary from place to place. Each is subject to weather conditions which may radically change from time to time and from season to season.
The vehicle handling, stability and braking distance may be affected when riding with a passenger. Safely reduce speed when riding with a passenger. Allow greater distance for braking.
