Page 43: Riding The Vehicle
RIDING THE VEHICLE To fully appreciate the pleasures and excitement of riding this vehicle, there are some basic rules and tips that you MUST follow. Some may be new to you while others may be common sense or obvious. Nonetheless, we ask that you take a few minutes to read this Operator's Guide completely before you operate this vehicle.
Page 44: Pre-Ride Inspection
RIDING THE VEHICLE Pre-Ride Inspection WARNING Perform a pre-ride inspection before each ride to detect any potential prob- lem that could occur during operation. The pre-ride inspection can help you monitor component wear and deterioration before they become a problem. Correct any problems that you discover to reduce the risk of a breakdown or crash.

Even with a long seat, this vehicle is not designed nor intended to carry passenger(s). Carrying passenger(s) may affect the stability and your control of the vehicle.
Page 47: Working With Your Vehicle
Working with your Vehicle Your vehicle can help you perform some LIGHT tasks. A variety of accessories are available from your authorized Can-Am dealer. However, always respect the load and capacities of the vehicle. Overloading of the vehicle can overstress the com- ponents and cause failure.

RIDING THE VEHICLE First aid kit Adjustable wrench Mobile phone Knife Friction tape Flashlight A rope Colored lens goggles Spare light bulbs Trail map Provided tool kit Snack Environment One of the benefits of this vehicle is that it can take you off the beaten path away from most communities.
Page 49: Off-Road Operation
RIDING THE VEHICLE Off-Road Operation The very nature of off-road operation is dangerous. Any terrain, which has not been specially prepared to carry vehicles, presents an inherent danger where angularity, terrain substance and exact steepness are unpredictable. The terrain itself presents a continual element of danger, which must be knowingly accepted by anyone venturing over it.
Page 50 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 51: Riding Techniques
RIDING THE VEHICLE straight line slide of the vehicle. Again, the best advice is to safely reduce speed in anticipation of a maneuver so to give yourself time and distance to regain total ve- hicle control before it spins out of your control. As you drive your ATV over a loose snow covered surface, snow dust will be picked up in the wake turbulence of the moving vehicle and transported to contact and accumulate or melt on some exposed components including rotating parts...
Page 52 RIDING THE VEHICLE at all times. Do not direct your toes outwards nor extend your feet out to assist in turning as they can be hit or get snagged by passing obstacles, or may come into contact with the wheels. vmo2012-012-520 Even though there is an adequate suspensions system on this vehicle there are “washboard”...
Page 53 RIDING THE VEHICLE grass, logs, etc., both in the water and on its banks. A loss of traction may occur. Do not attempt to enter the water at high speed. The water will act as a brake and could throw you. vmo2012-012-524 Wet brakes will affect the braking ability of your vehicle.
Page 54 RIDING THE VEHICLE Riding on sand, sand dunes, or on snow is another unique experience but there are some basic precautions that should be observed. Wet, deep or fine sand/snow may create a loss of traction and cause the vehicle to slide, drop off or become “bogged”...
Page 55 RIDING THE VEHICLE When driving on hills or slopes two things are highly important... be prepared for slippery surfaces or terrain variations and obstacles and... use proper body positioning. When stopped or parked always apply the parking device. This is especially impor- tant when parking on a slope.
Page 56 RIDING THE VEHICLE Downhill Keep your body weight rearwards. Apply the brake gradually to prevent skidding. Do not “coast” down the slope using solely engine compression or in neutral gear. Try to avoid steep inclines. If you're not careful, you could tip over when going down hills.
Page 57 RIDING THE VEHICLE 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. However, if it is nec- essary to do so, it is important that you ALWAYS keep your body weight on the up- side of the slope...
