  • 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, a recognized ATV training organization or contact an authorized Can-Am dealer. We recommend following the age recommendation indicated on the safety label affixed on the unit.

  • Page 40: Pre-Ride Inspection

    RIDING THE VEHICLE We encourage you to have an Annual Safety Inspection of your vehicle. Please contact an authorized BRP dealer for further details. Though not required, it is recommended that an authorized BRP dealer performs the preseason preparation of your vehicle. Each visit to your authorized BRP dealer is a great opportunity for your dealer to verify if your vehicle is included in any safety campaign.

Lever and pedal must fully return when released. Emergency engine Check that the emergency engine stop switch is working stop switch properly.

  • Page 43: Riding Gear

    RIDING THE VEHICLE Riding Gear Actual weather conditions should help you decide how to dress. Dress for the coldest weather expected. Thermal underwear next to the skin also provides a good insulation. 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.

  • Page 44: Carrying Loads

    RIDING THE VEHICLE Carrying Loads Any load carried on the vehicle will affect the handling, stability and braking dis- tance of the vehicle. For this reason, do not exceed the load limits of the vehicle's MAXIMUM LOADS manufacturer. Refer to table below.

  • Page 45: Pulling A Trailer (If Equipped With Hitch)

    RIDING THE VEHICLE When pulling loads with a chain or cable, ensure that there is no slack before start- ing and maintain tension while pulling. When pulling loads with a chain or cable, be sure to brake progressively. The iner- tia of the load could lead to an impact.

  • Page 46: Working With Your Vehicle

    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 Can-Am dealer. However, always respect the load and capacities of the vehicle. Overloading of the vehicle can overstress the components and cause failure.

  • Page 48: 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 49 RIDING THE VEHICLE Uphill Driving Due to configuration, this vehicle has excellent climbing ability, so much so that it is possible to tip over before traction is lost. For example, it is common to encounter terrain situations where the top of the hill has eroded to a point that the hill peak rises very sharply.

  • Page 50: Riding Techniques

    RIDING THE VEHICLE over steering slide of the vehicle. Avoid hard braking. This will possibly result in a 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.
  • Page 51 RIDING THE VEHICLE vmo2012-012-520 Even though there is an adequate suspension system on this vehicle there are “washboard” or rough terrain conditions that will make you feel uncomfortable and can even cause a back injury. “Posting” or riding in a crouched position will often be required.
  • Page 52 RIDING THE VEHICLE vmo2012-012-524 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 53 RIDING THE VEHICLE Riding on loose stones or gravel is very similar to riding on ice. They will affect the steering of vehicle, possibly causing it to slide and tip over especially at high speeds. In addition, braking distance may be affected. Remember that “gun- ning”...
  • Page 54 RIDING THE VEHICLE an obstacle could have a big impact on the stability as it will lift the front of the vehicle increasing the risk of tipping over. Some hills are too steep to safely stop or recover from after an unsuccessful climbing attempt. Try to avoid steep inclines. If you're not careful, you could tip over when going up hills.
  • Page 55 RIDING THE VEHICLE Downhill Keep your body weight rearwards. Stay seated. Apply the brake gradually to pre- vent skidding. Do not “coast” down the slope using solely engine compression or in neutral gear. Decelerating while negotiating a slippery downhill slope could “toboggan” the vehicle.
  • Page 56 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 and be prepared to dismount on that side should the vehicle begin to topple.

    CONTROLS/INSTRUMENTS/EQUIPMENT When released the brake lever should automatically return to its original posi- tion. Braking effect is proportional to the force applied on the lever. NOTE: As on other wheeled vehicles, the vehicle weight is transferred to the front wheels when braking. To obtain greater stopping efficiency, the brake system distributes more braking force to the front wheels.
