  • Page 43: Carrying Loads

    Your vehicle can help you perform a number of different LIGHT tasks ranging from snow removal to pulling wood or carrying cargo. A variety of accessories are available from your authorized Bombardier ATV dealer. However, always re- spect the load and capacities of the vehicle. Overloading of the vehicle can over- stress the components and cause failure.

  • Page 44: Environment

  • Page 45: General Operating And Safety Precautions

    An operator who takes a vehicle off-road should always exercise the utmost care in selecting the safest path and keeping close watch on the terrain ahead of him. On no account should the vehicle be operated by anyone who is not completely familiar with the driving instructions applicable to the vehicle, nor should it be operated on steep or treacherous terrain.

  • Page 46: Side Hilling

    Side Hilling Whenever possible, such operation should be avoided. If necessary, do so with extreme caution. Side hilling on steep inclines could result in rollover. In addi- tion, slippery or unfirm surfaces could result in uncontrollable side sliding. Do not attempt to turn the vehicle downhill with the slide. Avoid all objects or de- pressions that will intensify the raising of one side of the vehicle higher than the other, thus causing rollover.
