Safety Warning - BOMBARDIER 2006 outlander max 400 Operator's Manual

SAFETY WARNING

To fully appreciate the pleasures and excitement of riding this vehicle, there are some basic rules
and tips that you should follow. Some may be new to you while others may be common sense
or obvious. Irrespective, we ask that you take a few minutes to read this Operator's Guide com-
pletely before you operate this vehicle.
BRP does not recommend that anyone under the age of 16 drive this vehicle. The passenger
should be 12 years old or more and must be capable of keeping his feet on the footrests and his
hands on the grab handles at all times when seated. For the child's safety, we strongly recom-
mend you also follow and enforce this recommendation. You are the sole judge of a rider's
capability to understand the risks and operate a vehicle safely.
Persons with cognitive or physical impairments or who are high risk takers have an increased
exposure to overturns or collisions which may result in injury including death.
Become completely familiar with the operational controls and the general operation of the vehicle
before venturing into off road conditions. Practice driving in a suitable area free of hazards and
feel the response of each control. Drive at low speeds. Higher speeds require greater experi-
ence, knowledge and suitable riding conditions.
The vehicle handling, stability and braking distance will be affected when riding with a passenger.
Safely reduce speed when riding with a passenger. Allow greater distance for braking.
Not all vehicles are the same. Each has its own unique performance characteristics, controls
and features. Each will ride and handle differently.
Never assume that the vehicle will go everywhere safely. Sudden changes in terrain caused by
holes, depressions, banks, softer or harder "ground" or other irregularities may cause the vehicle
to topple or become unstable. To avoid this, slow down and always observe the terrain ahead.
If the vehicle does begin to topple or tipover, it is usually the best advice to immediately get off...
AWAY from the direction of the tipover!
