Environment; Design Limitation - BOMBARDIER rally 200 Operator's Manual

Always keep a safe distance from other riders. Your judgment of speed, terrain conditions,
weather, mechanical condition of your vehicle and the "trust in judgment" you have in others
around you will help you make a better choice of appropriate safe distance. This vehicle, like
any other motorized vehicle, cannot stop "on a dime".
Always operate this vehicle at low speed, do not exceed 65 km/h (40 MPH), and reduce the
speed before making a turn when the vehicle is operated on the roadway.
Before you ride, tell someone where you are planning to travel and your expected time of return.
Never consume alcohol or drugs before or while riding!
Depending on the length of your ride, carry additional tools or emergency equipment. Find out
where you can get additional gasoline and oil. Be prepared for the possible conditions you may
encounter. An emergency first aid kit should always be a consideration.

Environment

One of the benefits of this vehicle is that it can take you off the beaten path away from most
communities. However, you should always respect nature and the rights of others to enjoy it. Do
not ride in environmentally sensitive areas. Do not drive over forest crops or shrubs... nor cut
down trees or take down fencing... nor spin your wheels and destroy the terrain. "Tread Lightly".
Chasing wildlife is in many areas illegal. Wildlife can die of exhaustion after being chased by a
motorized vehicle. If you encounter animals on the trail, stop and observe quietly and with cau-
tion. It will be one of the better memories of your life.
Observe the rule... "what you take in, carry out". Do not litter. Do not start campfires unless you
have permission to do so... and then only... away from dry areas. The hazards you may create
on the trail may cause injury to others or yourself, even at a later date.
Respect farm lands. Always obtain the permission of the landowner before riding on private land.
Respect crops, farm animals and property lines. If you come to a closed gate, close it again after
yourself.
Finally, do not pollute streams, lakes or rivers and do not modify the engine or muffling system,
or remove any of its components.

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.
