HOT EXHAUST SYSTEMS
Exhaust system components are very hot during and after use of the vehicle.
Hot components can cause burns and fire. Do not touch hot exhaust system
components. Always keep combustible materials away from the exhaust
Use caution when traveling through tall grass, especially dry grass and when
traveling through muddy conditions. Always inspect the underside of the
vehicle and areas near the exhaust system after driving through tall grass,
weeds, brush, other tall ground cover, and muddy conditions. Promptly remove
any grass, debris or foreign matter clinging to the vehicle and pay particular
TRAILER HITCH WARNING (IF EQUIPPED)
If using a hitch, ensure the receiver does not exceed a two inch drop or raise.
When trailering with your ATV, be aware that the exhaust is located above the
hitch ball receiver and the trailer hitch. During operation of the ATV, the
exhaust will produce hot exhaust gas that should not be inhaled and that may
elevate the surface temperature of surrounding surfaces, including trailer
surfaces (e.g., trailer hitch, trailer tongue, trailer walls, . . . etc.). To reduce the
risk of inhaling exhaust gases and to avoid risk of burn or injury, shut off your
engine and allow time for the exhaust gases to dissipate and for the surfaces
surrounding the exhaust to cool, including the trailer surfaces, before
connecting or disconnecting a trailer. To reduce the potential for the trailer hitch
or trailer tongue from getting too hot, do not use a receiver hitch with a rise of

Leaving the keys in the ignition can lead to unauthorized use of the vehicle by
someone under the age of 16, without a drivers license, or without proper
training. This could result in an accident or rollover. Always remove the ignition
key when the vehicle is not in use.
