Carrying Loads

Any load carried on the vehicle's carrying rack(s) will affect the stability and control of the vehicle.
For this reason, do not exceed the load limits of the vehicle manufacturer. Always make sure
the load is secured and cannot interfere with your proper control. Always be aware that the "load"
may slide or fall off and create an accident. Avoid covering and obstructing the headlamp or
brake lamp with the cargo. Always make sure any storage compartment latches are closed. If a
removable compartment cover is removed to carry a load, make sure that the load is secure and
that smaller objects cannot "fly out"
This vehicle is designed specifically to carry an operator only. Even with a long seat that provides
unrestricted operator movements, they are not designed nor intended to carry passenger(s).
Carrying passenger (s) will affect the stability and your control of the ATV.

Hauling a Trailer

Riding this vehicle with a trailer substantially increases the risk of toppling, especially on inclined
slopes. If a trailer is used behind the vehicle make sure that its hitch is compatible with the one
on the vehicle. Make sure the trailer is horizontal with the vehicle. (In some instances a special
extension may have to be installed on the vehicle hitch). Use security chains to secure the trailer
with the vehicle. The vehicle may require additional stopping distance if hauling heavy loads,
especially on inclined surfaces. Be careful not to skid or slide. When stopped or parked, block
the vehicle and trailer wheels from possible movement. Always make sure load is evenly dis-
tributed on the trailer. Use caution when disconnecting a loaded trailer; it or its load may topple
on you or others. Do not turn at high speeds. Always use low gear range and slow down a lot.

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
Bombardier ATV dealer. However, always respect the load and capacities of the vehicle. Over-
loading of the vehicle can overstress the components and cause failure. To prevent possible
injury, it is equally important to follow the instructions and warnings that accompany the acces-
sory. Avoid any physical exertion through lifting or pulling of heavy loads or manpowering the
vehicle. (Continue to read RECREATIONAL RIDING below).

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. Always stay to the complete
right of the trail and do not zig zag to one side of the trail then the other. Be prepared to stop or
pull off to the side if another trail user appears in front of you.
Join a local ATV club. They will provide you with a map and advice or inform you where you can
ride. If a club does not exist in your area, help start one. Group riding and club activities provide
a pleasurable, social experience.
