Section 1 Introduction
American SportWorks welcomes you to its growing
family of new product owners. This Utility Vehicle
"UTV" is a light utility vehicle that has been designed
with care and built by skilled workers using quality
materials. Proper set-up, maintenance and safe
operating practices will help you get years of
satisfactory use from this vehicle.

Safety First

American SportWorks is fully aware of the need for safe
operating procedures around all of our equipment. We
hope you will make a sincere effort to put safety above
all other priorities. The Utility Vehicle was designed and
built for work, recreation, and enjoyment; however,
improper and irresponsible operation could result in
serious injury or death. Since this is an off-road vehicle,
operators will seldom see the road safety and warning
signs they are accustomed to seeing on highways and
public streets. This places additional responsibility on
the driver to operate this vehicle well within the safe
operational limits and capabilities of the unit.
This manual has been prepared to instruct you in the
safe and responsible operation of your Utility Vehicle.
Read and abide by all safety alert information about this
vehicle. If you do not understand any part of this
manual, contact your local dealer for additional
information and clarification. As the operator of this
piece of equipment, you are in complete control. Only
you can prevent an accident from happening.

Getting Acquainted with your Utility Vehicle

This off-road utility vehicle is a very unique vehicle
designed exclusively for off-road use. It is not designed,
properly equipped, or licensed to be safely operated on
public streets and highways. This vehicle is designed to
carry two people and a limited amount of gear or cargo
comfortably and safely over rough terrain that was only
accessible by ATV's in the past.
Unlike ATV's that have handlebar steering, Utility
Vehicle's have a steering wheel with easy handling
rack-and pinion steering. The steering's tight turning
radius makes this vehicle more maneuverable than
most ATV's. Its four wheeled independent suspension,
large diameter hi-flotation tires and high center-frame
ground clearance adds up to excellent stability and a
smooth ride over rough terrain. Outstanding two
wheeled rear traction drive is achieved by using
premium off-road ATV type tires in tandem with the
engine mounted directly in front of the rear differential.
Also unlike an ATV's one person "straddle saddle" seat,
the Utility Vehicle sports dual headrest cushioned seats
with seat belts mounted in a highly styled and protective
full length body. Two passengers can ride comfortably in
this vehicle protected from splashing water and mud.
The Brush Guard Bar mounted to the vehicle's frame
provides protection against low hanging limbs and
briars.
