Can-Am outlander 400 series Operator's Manual page 58

Obstacles in the "trail" should be traversed with caution. This includes loose
rocks, fallen trees, slippery surfaces, fences, posts, and embankments and de-
pressions. You should avoid them whenever possible. Remember that some
obstacles are too large or dangerous to cross and should be avoided. When rid-
ing on 2-UP models, the operator is responsible for the safety of the passenger
and in doubt, disembark him before getting through the obstacles. Small rocks
or fallen trees may be safely crossed... approach at a 90° angle. Stand on the
footrests while keeping your knees flexed. Adjust speed without losing momen-
tum and do not "gun" the throttle. Hold handlebar or grab handles firmly. Place
operator and passenger (2-UP models) body weight rearwards and proceed. Do
not try to lift the vehicle front wheels off the ground. Be aware that the object
may be slippery or may move while crossing.
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 riding on 2-UP models, the operator is responsible for the
safety of the passenger and in doubt, disembark him before getting through the
obstacles.
