Environment

One of the benefits of this vehicle is that it can take you off the beaten path away
from most communities. However, you should always respect nature and the
rights of others to enjoy it. Do not ride in environmentally sensitive areas. Do not
drive over forest crops or shrubs nor cut down trees or take down fencing nor spin
your wheels and destroy the terrain. "Tread Lightly".
This vehicle can cause OHV wildfires if debris builds up near the exhaust or other
engine hot spots and ignites then falls off into dry grass. Avoid riding in wet areas,
through muskeg or tall grass, where debris can build up. Should you ride in those
areas, inspect and remove all debris from your engine and hot spots.
Chasing wildlife is in many areas illegal. Wildlife can die of exhaustion after being
chased by a motorized vehicle. If you encounter animals on the trail, stop and ob-
serve quietly and with caution. It will be one of the better memories of your life.
Observe the rule "what you take in, carry out". Do not litter. Do not start camp-
fires unless you have permission to do so and then only away from dry areas. The
hazards you may create on the trail may cause injury to others or yourself, even at
a later date.
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.

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.
The addition of weight to any part of the vehicle changes its gravitational stability
and modifies its performance.

Off-Road Operation

The very nature of off-road operation is dangerous. Any terrain, which has not
been specially prepared to carry vehicles, presents an inherent danger where
angularity, terrain substance and exact steepness are unpredictable. The terrain
itself presents a continual element of danger, which must be knowingly accepted
by anyone venturing over it.
