Introduction - BOMBARDIER Outlander 400 Operator's Manual

INTRODUCTION

Your dealer should have provided you
with some basic information on the
particular controls and features of your
new vehicle. Please take the time
to study this OPERATOR'S GUIDE
and all on-product warning labels as
well as the Safety Videocassette 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 that you know the
controls and features of this vehicle.
Equally important is knowing how to
properly ride.
Irrespective of your age, experience or
state regulations, it is always prudent
for you or any other person who may
ride your vehicle, to take an approved
safe riding course. Please check with
your dealer or local authorities for avail-
ability in your area. If you are a com-
pletely new rider, this should be done
before your first ride. Your instructor
should be able to provide advice on lo-
cal conditions and safe riding practices
particular to the area.
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. Riding on sand is different
than riding on snow or through forests
or marshes. Each location may re-
quire a greater degree of awareness
and skill. Show good judgement. Al-
ways proceed with caution. Please
do not take any unnecessary risks that
could leave you stranded or possibly
injured.
