Always use the size and type of tires
specified for your ATV.
Always maintain proper tire pressure as
described in the owner's manual and on
safety labels.
Operating Over Obstacles
Improperly operating over obstacles could
cause loss of control or rollover.
Before operating in a new area, check for
obstacles. Avoid operating over large
obstacles such as rocks and fallen trees.
If unavoidable, use extreme caution and
always follow proper operating
procedures as outlined in this manual.

Skidding or Sliding

Skidding or sliding can cause loss of
control or rollover (if tires regain traction
unexpectedly).
On slippery surfaces such as ice or loose
gravel, travel slowly and use extra caution
to reduce the chance of skidding or
sliding. Do not operate on excessively
slippery surfaces.

Operating a Damaged ATV

Operating a damaged ATV can result in
an accident. After any rollover or accident,
have a qualified service dealer inspect the
entire machine for possible damage,
including (but not limited to) brakes,
throttle and steering systems.
