Introduction - Can-Am Renegade 500 Operator's Manual

INTRODUCTION

Your distributor/dealer should have
provided you with some basic infor-
mation on the particular controls and
features of your new vehicle. Please
take the time to study this Operator's
Guide and all on-product warning la-
bels as well as the SAFETY VIDEO
that came with this vehicle. They
more completely describe what you
should know about this vehicle before
riding it.
Whether you are a new user or an ex-
perienced rider, it is important for your
personal safety as well as passenger
safety that you know the controls and
features of this vehicle. Equally impor-
tant is knowing how to properly ride.
Irrespective of your age, experience or
state regulations, it is always prudent
for you or any other person who may
ride your vehicle, to take an approved
safe riding course. Please check with
your distributor/dealer or local authori-
ties for availability in your area. If you
are a completely new rider, this should
be done before your first ride. Your in-
structor should be able to provide ad-
vice on local conditions and safe riding
practices particular to the area.
Riding conditions vary from place
to place. Each is subject to weather
conditions which may radically change
from time to time and from season to
season.
Riding on sand is different than rid-
ing on snow or through forests or
marshes. Each location may require
a greater degree of awareness and
skill. Show good judgement. Always
proceed with caution. Please do not
take any unnecessary risks that could
leave you stranded or possibly injured.
