  • Page 40: Safety Warning

    SAFETY WARNING To fully appreciate the pleasures and excitement of riding this vehicle, there are some basic rules and tips that you should follow. Some may be new to you while others may be common sense or obvious. Irrespective, we ask that you take a few minutes to read this Operator’s Guide completely before you operate the vehicle.

  • Page 41: Pre-Operation Check

    • Check wheels and bearings for wear and Correct any problem you may have found be- damage. fore riding. See an authorized Bombardier • Check location of controls and ensure they ATV dealer as necessary. work properly.

  • Page 42: Clothing

    Clothing Actual weather conditions should help you decide how to dress. However, it is important that the operator always wears the appropriate protective clothing and apparel, including an approved helmet, eye protection, boots, gloves, long sleeved shirt and pants. This type of clothing will provide you protection from some of the minor hazards you may encounter en route.

  • Page 43: Carrying Loads

    Carrying Loads Any load carried on the vehicle will affect the stability and control of the vehicle. For this reason, do not exceed the load limits of the vehicle manufacturer. Always make sure the load is secured and cannot interfere with your proper control. Always be aware that the “load” may slide or fall off and create an accident.

  • Page 44: Environment

    Environment One of the benefits of this vehicle is that it can take you off the beaten path away from most communities. However, you should always respect nature and the rights of others to enjoy it. Do not ride in environmentally sensitive areas. Do not drive over forest crops or shrubs… nor cut down trees or take down fencing…...

  • Page 45: Off-Highway Operation

    Off-Highway Operation The very nature of off-highway operation is dangerous. Any terrain, which has not been specially prepared to carry vehicles, presents an inherent danger where angularity, terrain substance and exact steepness are unpredictable. The terrain itself presents a continual element of danger, which must be knowingly accepted by anyone venturing over it.

  • Page 46: Downhill Driving

    Downhill Driving This vehicle can climb slopes that are steeper than it can safely descend. Therefore, it is essen- tial to assure that a safe route exists to descend a slope before you climb it. Decelerating while negotiating a slippery downhill slope could “toboggan” the vehicle. Maintain steady speed and/or accelerate slightly to regain control.
  • Page 47 V00A0UL Even though there is an adequate suspensions system on this vehicle there are “washboard” or rough terrain conditions that will make you feel uncomfortable and even cause back injury. “Post- ing” or riding in a crouched position will often be required. Slow down and allow your flexed legs to absorb impact.
  • Page 48 Water can be a unique hazard. If it is too deep the vehicle may “float” and topple. Check the water depth and current before you attempt to cross any water. Water should not go above the footrest. Be wary of slippery surfaces such as rocks, grass, logs, etc., both in the water and on its banks.
  • Page 49 Riding on loose stones or gravel is very similar to riding on ice. They will affect the steering of the vehicle... possibly causing it to slide and tipover especially at high speeds. In addition, brak- ing distance may be effected. Remember that “gunning” the throttle or sliding may cause loose stones to be ejected rearwards into the path of another rider's way.
  • Page 50 Uphill Keep your body weight forward towards the top of the hill. Keep your feet on the footpegs and shift into low gear then accelerate and when necessary, change gear quickly as you climb. Do not over-speed since this may cause the front of the vehicle to lift from the ground and fall back on you.
  • Page 51 Downhill Keep your body weight rearwards. Apply the brake gradually to prevent skidding. Do not “coast” down the slope using solely engine compression or in neutral gear. V00A0YL Side hilling This is one of the most risky types of riding since it may drastically change the balance of the vehicle.
