Riding Techniques - Can-Am DS 90 Operator's Manual

RIDING THE VEHICLE
At the end of each ride it is a good practice to clean the vehicle body and all moving
components (brakes, steering components, drive lines, controls, etc.) from any
snow or ice accumulations. Wet snow will turn to ice during the shut down period
and become more difficult to remove at the next pre-ride inspection.

Riding Techniques

Riding your vehicle too fast for your skills or the conditions may result in injury. Ap-
ply 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. Always use
proper riding techniques to avoid vehicle overturns on hills and rough terrain and in
turns.
This vehicle is not designed for jumping, nor can it fully absorb the high impact
energy generated during manoeuvres such as jumping which, can be passed on to
you, the operator. Performing "wheelies" can cause the vehicle to flip over onto
you. Both practices have a high risk for you and should be avoided at all times.
To maintain proper control, it is strongly advised that you keep your hands on the
handlebar and within easy reach of all controls. The same holds true for your feet.
To minimize the possibility of a leg or foot injury, keep your feet on the footrests
at all times. Do not direct your toes outwards nor extend your feet out to assist in
turning as they can be hit or be snagged on passing obstacles, or may come into
contact with wheels.
