  • Page 40: Pre-Ride Inspection

    PRE-RIDE INSPECTION WARNING Perform a pre-ride inspection before each ride to detect any potential prob- lem that could occur during operation. The pre-ride inspection can help you monitor component wear and deterioration before they become a problem. Correct any problem that you discover to reduce the risk of a breakdown or crash.

  • Page 43: Riding The Vehicle

    BRP dealer performs the preseason preparation of your vehicle. Each visit to your authorized BRP dealer is a great opportunity for your dealer to verify if your vehicle is included in any safety campaign. We also urge you to visit your authorized BRP dealer in a timely manner if you become aware of any safety related campaigns.

  • Page 44: 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 45: Recreational Riding

    RIDING THE VEHICLE Recreational Riding Respect the rights and limitations of others. Stay away from areas designated for other types of off road use. This includes snowmobile trails, equestrian trails, cross country ski trails, mountain bike trails, etc. Never assume there are no other users on the trail.

  • Page 46: Design Limitation

    RIDING THE VEHICLE 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 behind you. Finally, do not pollute streams, lakes or rivers and do not modify the engine or ex- haust system, or remove any of its components.
  • Page 47 RIDING THE VEHICLE the footpegs at all times. Do not direct your toes outwards nor extend your feet out to assist in turning as they can be hit or be snagged on passing obstacles, or may come into contact with the wheels. Even though there is a suspension on this vehicle, there are “washboard”...
  • Page 48 RIDING THE VEHICLE – Never attempt donuts, skids, slides, fishtails, jumps, or other stunts. If vehicle starts to skid or slide, steer in the direction of the skid or slide. Never slam the brakes and lock the wheels. – Avoid paved surfaces. This vehicle is not designed to operate on paved surfaces and is more likely to roll over.
  • Page 49 RIDING THE VEHICLE Braking Always keep both hands on handlebars and feet on footpegs 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 50 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 51 RIDING THE VEHICLE sfvmo2014-012-526 Downhill Driving Keep your body weight rearwards. Apply the brake gradually to prevent skidding. Do not “coast” down the slope using solely engine compression or in neutral gear. Try to avoid steep inclines. If you're not careful, you could tip over when going down hills.
  • Page 52 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 53 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 54 RIDING THE VEHICLE Whenever an ATV is ridden on a snow covered drive path the tire grip is generally reduced causing the vehicle to react differently to control inputs from the operator. On low grip surfaces, the steering responses are not as crisp and precise, stopping distances are lengthened and acceleration becomes sluggish.
  • Page 55 RIDING THE VEHICLE When riding in sand dunes it is advisable to equip the vehicle with an antenna type safety flag. This will help make your location more visible to others over the next sand dune. Proceed carefully should you see another safety flag ahead. Since the antenna type safety flag can snag and rebound on your body if caught, do not use it in areas where there are low hanging branches or obstacles.
