  • Page 46: Riding The Vehicle

    RIDING THE VEHICLE To fully appreciate the pleasures and excitement of riding this vehicle, there are some basic rules and tips that you MUST follow. Some may be new to you while others may be common sense or obvious. Please take the time to study this Operator's Guide and all on-product safety SAFETY DVD labels as well as the video that came with this vehicle.

  • Page 47: Riding Gear

    RIDING THE VEHICLE Riding Gear Actual weather conditions should help you decide how to dress. Dress for the coldest weather expected. Thermal underwear next to the skin also provides a good insulation. It is important that the operator always wears the appropriate protective riding gear and apparel, including an approved helmet, eye protection, boots, gloves, a long sleeved shirt and pants.

  • Page 48: Environment

    RIDING THE VEHICLE users on the trail. Always stay to the complete right of the trail and do not zigzag 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.

  • Page 49: Design Limitation

    RIDING THE VEHICLE Finally, do not pollute streams, lakes or rivers and do not modify the engine or ex- haust 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.
  • Page 50 RIDING THE VEHICLE Body Position To maintain proper control, it is strongly advised that you keep your hands on the handlebar and within easy reach of all controls. The same holds true for your feet on the foot pegs. To minimize the possibility of a leg or foot injury, keep your feet on the foot pegs at all times.
  • Page 51 RIDING THE VEHICLE To reduce the risk of rollovers: – Use care when turning. • Do not turn the handlebar too far or too fast for your speed and environment. Adjust steering inputs accordingly. • Slow down before entering a turn. Avoid hard braking during a turn. •...
  • Page 52 RIDING THE VEHICLE Braking Always keep both hands on handlebars and feet on foot pegs when braking. Practice braking to get familiar with the brake response. – Do it at low speed first, then increase the speed. – Practice braking in straight line at different speeds and different braking force. –...
  • Page 53 RIDING THE VEHICLE Uphill Driving Before trying to climb a hill, keep these things in mind. Hill Climbing should only be attempted by experienced operators. Start on shallow slopes. Always drive straight uphill and keep your body weight forward towards the top of the hill. Keep your feet on the footrests, shift your ATV into a lower gear and accelerate before you start to climb.
  • Page 54 RIDING THE VEHICLE Downhill Driving This vehicle can climb slopes that are steeper than it can safely descend. There- fore, it is essential to ensure that a safe route exists to descend a slope before you climb it. Decelerating while negotiating a slippery downhill slope could “toboggan” the ve- hicle.
  • Page 55 RIDING THE VEHICLE Side Hilling This is one of the most risky types of riding since it may drastically change the bal- ance of the vehicle. It should be avoided whenever possible. However, if it is nec- essary to do so , it is important that you ALWAYS keep your body weight on the up- side of the slope and be prepared to dismount on that side should the vehicle begin to topple.
  • Page 56 RIDING THE VEHICLE Crossing Water Water can be a unique hazard. If it is too deep the vehicle may “float” and topple. Check the water depth and current before you attempt to cross any water. Water should not go above the footrest. Be wary of slippery surfaces such as rocks, grass, logs, etc., both in the water and on its banks.
  • Page 57 RIDING THE VEHICLE Riding on Snow Covered Surfaces When performing the pre-ride inspection, pay special attention to locations on the vehicle where snow and/or ice accumulations may obstruct visibility of the taillight and reflectors, clog ventilation openings, block the radiator and fan, and interfere with the movement of control levers, switches and brake pedal.
  • Page 58 RIDING THE VEHICLE Riding on Sand Riding on sand, sand dunes or on snow is another unique experience, but there are some basic precautions that should be observed. Wet, deep or fine sand/snow may create a loss of traction and cause the vehicle to slide, drop off or become “bogged”...

  • Page 59: Moving Loads And Doing Work

    MOVING LOADS AND DOING WORK 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 avail- able from your authorized Can-Am dealer. To prevent possible injury, follow the in- structions and warnings that accompany the accessory.
  • Page 60 MOVING LOADS AND DOING WORK Loading the Cargo Rack NOTICE When loading or unloading, do not exceed the weight limit of 90 kg (200 lb). Load cargo as low as possible – a higher load can raise the vehicle’s center of grav- ity, which can reduce stability.
  • Page 61 Be careful not to skid or slide. Pulling a Trailer (If Equipped with a Hitch) NOTICE A BRP approved rear hitch must be properly installed on the vehi- cle for hauling trailers. Riding this vehicle with a trailer substantially increases the risk of toppling, espe- cially on inclined slopes.
