Correct any problem you may have return when released. found before riding. See an autho- • Ensure transmission lever is work- rized Bombardier ATV dealer as nec- ing then reset in PARK position. essary. • Check fuel, oil and coolant levels.
Clothing Actual weather conditions should help you decide how to dress. However, it is important that the operator and the passenger always wear the appropriate protective clothing and apparel, including an approved helmet, eye protection, boots, gloves, long sleeved shirt and pants. The passenger should have an ap- proved helmet including a rigid chin guard.
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.
Recreational Riding Respect the rights and limitations of others. Stay away from areas designated for other types of off road use. This includes snowmobile trails, equestrian trails, cross country ski trails, mountain bike trails, etc. Never assume there are no other users on the trail.
Design Limitation Although the vehicle is exceptionally rugged for its class, it is still a light vehicle by definition and its operation must be restricted to its proper purpose. The addition of weight to any part of the vehicle changes its gravitational stability and modifies its performance.
Uphill Driving Due to configuration, this vehicle has excellent climbing ability, so much so that tipover is possible before traction is lost. For example, its common to encounter terrain situations where the top of the hill has eroded to a point that the hill peak rises very sharply.
Riding Techniques Riding your vehicle too fast for the conditions may result in injury. Apply only enough throttle to proceed safely. Statistics show that high speed turns usually result in mishaps and injury. Always remember that this vehicle is heavy! Its pure weight alone may entrap you should it fall and pin you down.
