Riding The Vehicle - Can-Am 219 002 095 Operator's Manual

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 labels
SAFETY VIDEO
as well as the located at https://can-am.brp.com/off-road/safety.
They more completely describe what you should know about this vehicle before
riding it.
Whether you are a new user or an experienced rider, it is important for your
personal safety that you know the controls and features of this vehicle. Equally
important is knowing how to properly ride.
This is a high performance ATV for off-road use only. Inexperienced riders may
overlook risks and be surprised by the specific behavior of this ATV in any terrain
condition.
We recommend following the age recommendation indicated on the safety label
affixed on the unit. Even though a person may be within the age group for which
this vehicle is recommended, he may not have the skills, abilities, or judgment
needed to operate this vehicle safely and may be involved in a serious accident.
Individuals with cognitive or physical impairments or who are high risk takers have
an increased exposure to overturns or collisions which may result in injury includ-
ing death.
Not all vehicles are the same. Each has its own unique performance characteris-
tics, controls and features. Each will ride and handle differently.
Become completely familiar with the operational controls and the general opera-
tion 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 experience, knowledge and suitable riding
conditions.
Riding conditions vary from place to place. Each is subject to weather conditions
which may radically change from time to time and from season to season.
Riding on sand is different than riding on snow or through forests or marshes.
Each location may require a greater degree of awareness and skill. Show good
judgement. Always proceed with caution. Please do not take any unnecessary
risks that could leave you stranded or possibly injured.
Never assume that the vehicle will go everywhere safely. Sudden changes in ter-
rain caused by holes, depressions, banks, softer or harder "ground" or other irreg-
ularities 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
tip over, the best advice is to immediately get off AWAY from the direction of the tip
over!
We encourage you to have an Annual Safety Inspection of your vehicle. Please
contact an authorized BRP dealer for further details. Though not required, it is
recommended that an authorized 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.
See an authorized BRP dealer for available accessories you may require.
