Page 39: Riding The Vehicle
Information in this Operator's Guide is limited. It is strongly recommended that you obtain further information and training from your local authorities, ATV clubs or a recognized ATV training organization or contact an authorized Can-Am dealer. USA and Canada only: to find out about available training course nearest you, call the Specialty Vehicle Institute of America (SVIA) at 1 800 887-2887 or in Canada, the Canada Safety Council (CSC) at 1 613 739-1535 ext. -
Page 40: Pre-Ride Inspection
Correct any problems that you discover to reduce the risk of a breakdown or crash. See an authorized Can-Am dealer if necessary. Before using this vehicle, the operator should always: – Apply parking brake and check if it operates properly. -
Page 41: Clothing
RIDING THE VEHICLE Clothing Actual weather conditions should help you decide how to dress. However, it is important that the operator always wears the appropriate protective clothing and apparel, including an approved helmet, eye protection, boots, gloves, a long sleeved shirt and pants. This type of clothing will provide you protection from some of the minor hazards you may encounter en route. -
Page 42: Recreational Riding
RIDING THE VEHICLE 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. -
Page 43: Design Limitation
RIDING THE VEHICLE 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. -
Page 44: Riding Techniques
RIDING THE VEHICLE The same situation may apply if an embedded object causes the front of the vehi- cle to climb more than desired. If such a situation occurs take an alternate route. Be aware of side hilling dangers when doing so. It is also wise to know the terrain condition on the other side of the hill or bank. - Page 45 RIDING THE VEHICLE V00A0UL Even though there is an adequate suspensions system on this vehicle there are “washboard” or rough terrain conditions that will make you feel uncomfortable and even cause back injury. “Posting” or riding in a crouched position will often be required.
- Page 46 RIDING THE VEHICLE V00A0VL Water will affect the braking ability of your vehicle. Make sure you dry the brakes by applying them several times after the vehicle leaves the water. Mud or marsh lands may be encountered near water. Be prepared for sudden “holes”...
- Page 47 RIDING THE VEHICLE When riding in sand dunes it is advisable to equip the vehicle with an antenna type safety flag. This will help make your location more visible to others over the next sand dune. Proceed carefully should you see another safety flag ahead. Since the antenna type safety flag can snag and rebound on your body if caught, do not use it in areas where there are low hanging branches or obstacles.
- Page 48 RIDING THE VEHICLE Uphill Keep your body weight forward towards the top of the hill. Keep your feet on the footpegs and shift into low gear then accelerate and when necessary, change gear quickly as you climb. Do not over-speed since this may cause the front of the vehi- cle to lift from the ground and fall back on you.
- Page 49 RIDING THE VEHICLE V00A0YL Side Hilling This is one of the most risky types of riding since it may drastically change the bal- ance of the vehicle. It should be avoided wherever possible. If it is necessary to do so however, it is important that you ALWAYS keep your body weight on the upside of the slope...
