Driving In Reverse; Driving A Damaged Vehicle; Driving At High Speeds; Driving On Pavement - Bad Boy Stampede 4x4 Owner's Manual

If you experience any of the following symptoms, stop the engine and get fresh air immediately:
• dizziness
• intense headache
• weakness and sleepiness
Operate this vehicle outdoors or in well-ventilated areas only.

Driving in Reverse

Make sure the area behind the vehicle is clear before operating in reverse. After making sure it is clear and safe to
operate in reverse, accelerate slowly. Avoid making sharp turns in reverse. Refer to Driving in Reverse on page 34 for
operational information.

Driving a Damaged Vehicle

Driving a damaged vehicle is not safe.
If your vehicle has been involved in any type of accident, have it inspected by a qualified service dealer to verify that it
is safe for operation.

Driving at High Speeds

High speed operation increases risk of loss of control. Always drive at a speed that is appropriate for the terrain, visi-
bility, operating conditions and your skill and experience level. Use the brake to control speed and maintain control of
the vehicle.

Driving on Pavement

The tires on your STAMPEDE 900 are designed only for off road use; not for use on pavement. Driving the vehicle on
paved surfaces can affect handling characteristics and increase tire wear.
If possible, avoid driving on paved surfaces. If unavoidable, drive slowly, travel short distances and avoid sudden turns
or stops.

Driving on Public Roads

Driving your STAMPEDE 900 on public streets, roads or highways could result in a collision with another vehicle.
Never drive this vehicle on any public street, road or highway, including dirt and gravel roads, unless they are desig-
nated for off road use. Most areas prohibit the operation of this vehicle on public streets, roads or highways, and can
result in traffic violations and fines.

Turning

Improper or careless turning can cause loss of traction, loss of control, accident or rollover. Do not turn quickly or at
sharp angles. Do not turn at high speeds. Practice turning at slow speeds before attempting to turn at faster speeds.

Jumps and Stunts

Attempting wheelies, jumps or other stunts increases the risk of an accident or rollover. Never attempt wheelies,
jumps or other stunts. Avoid exhibition driving.

Unfamiliar Terrain

Drive slowly and cautiously on unfamiliar terrain to prevent an accident or rollover. Unfamiliar terrain can contain hid-
den rocks, bumps or holes that can cause loss of control or rollover. Constantly monitor for changing terrain condi-
tions.

Obstacles

Check for obstacles before operating in an unfamiliar area. Do not drive over obstacles that are too large for the vehi-
cle or your driving abilities. Refer to Obstacles in Drive Path on page 32 for operational information.

Climbing Hills

Do not climb hills that are too steep for the vehicle or your driving abilities. Practice driving on small hills before
attempting to drive on larger hills. Loss of vehicle control or rollover can result from climbing hills incorrectly. Refer to
Driving Uphill on page 32 for operational information.

Driving Downhill

Inspect the terrain before descending a hill. Avoid driving across hills. Use the brake to limit speed and maintain con-
trol. Loss of vehicle control or rollover can result from driving downhill incorrectly. Refer to Driving Downhill on page 33
for operational information.
