YOUR UTV IS NOT A TOY AND CAN BE HAZARDOUS TO OPERATE.
This Side-by-Side vehicle (UTV) handles differently from
other vehicles, including motorcycles, ATVs and automobiles.
A collision or rollover can occur quickly, even during routine
maneuvers such as turning and driving on hills and over ob-
stacles if you fail to take proper precautions.
Read this Owner's Manual carefully and follow the opera-
tional procedures within. Pay special attention to the warn-
ings in this manual and applied to your vehicle.
Always ride slowly and be extra careful when operating
your UXV500 on unfamiliar terrain. Be alert for changing con-
ditions and terrain when operating your vehicle.
Never operate your UXV500 on excessively rough, slip-
pery, or loose terrain.
Always follow proper procedures for turning as described
in this manual. Practice turning at slow speeds before attempt-
ing to turn at faster speeds. Do not turn at an excessive speed.
Always have your UXV500 inspected by an authorized
KYMCO ATV dealer if it has been involved in an accident.
Never operate your UXV500 on hills that are too steep for
the vehicle or for your abilities. Practice on smaller hills before
attempting larger hills.
Never operate this vehicle on a public road, even a dirt or
gravel road, as you may not be able to avoid a collision with
another vehicle.
Avoid paved surfaces with your UXV500 This vehicle is not
designed to be driven on paved surfaces as its handling and
control will be seriously affected.
Always follow proper procedures for climbing hills as de-
scribed in this manual. Check the terrain carefully before you
start up any hill. Never climb hills that have slippery or loose
surfaces. Shift your weight forward when climbing hills. Never
open the throttle suddenly or make sudden gear changes. Never
go over the top of any hill at high speed.
Always follow proper procedures for going down hills and
for braking on hills as described in this manual. Check the ter-
rain carefully before you start down any hill. Never go down a
hill at high speed. Avoid going down a hill at an angle that would
cause your UXV500 to lean sharply to one side. Go straight
down the hill where possible.
Always follow proper procedures for crossing the side of a
hill as described in this manual. Avoid hills with slippery or loose
surfaces. If possible, shift your weight to the uphill side of the
vehicle. Never attempt to turn the vehicle around on any hill
until you have mastered the turning techniques described in
this manual on level ground. Avoid crossing the side of a steep
hill if possible.
Indicates a potential hazard that could
result in serious injury or death.
