Operation on different surfaces and
terrains
Go slowly and proceed with caution when op-
erating on an unfamiliar surface or terrain.
This vehicle may handle differently in certain
types of terrains or on certain surfaces. You
may come upon hidden rocks, bumps, or
holes without enough time to react. To avoid
loss of control or rollover, always be alert to
changing surfaces or terrain when operating
the vehicle.
Your Yamaha Viking has higher ground clear-
ance and other features to handle rugged ter-
rain, and as a result, can overturn in situations
where some vehicles may not. Abrupt maneu-
vers or aggressive driving can cause loss of
control, including rollovers – even on flat,
open areas. These rollovers can result in
crushed limbs and other serious injuries or
death to drivers or passengers.
