SAFE OPERATION - DRIVING SAFELY A rollover or other accident can occur quickly during abrupt maneuvers such as: • Sharp turns or hard acceleration. • Deceleration when turning. • When driving on hills or over obstacles. Abrupt maneuvers or aggressive driving can cause rollovers or loss of control even in flat open areas. If the vehicle rolls over, any part of your body (such as arms, legs, or head) outside of the cockpit can be crushed and trapped by the cage or other parts of the vehicle.
Page 107
SAFE OPERATION - DRIVING SAFELY This vehicle can roll over sideways, or tip over forward or backwards on slopes or uneven terrain: • Avoid side hilling (driving along the slope rather than up or down a hill). When possible, drive straight up and down inclines rather than across them.
Page 108
SAFE OPERATION - DRIVING SAFELY Avoiding Collisions At higher speeds, there is an increased risk of losing control, particularly in challenging off-road conditions, and the risk of injury in a collision is greater. Never operate at excessive speeds. Always go at a speed that is proper for the terrain, visibility, and operating conditions, and your experience.
SAFE OPERATION - DRIVING SAFELY Practice Exercises Before you go out for a ride, it is very important to familiarize yourself with the handling of your vehicle by practicing in a controlled environment. Find a suitable area to practice and perform the following exercises. It should be at least 147 ft.
Page 110
SAFE OPERATION - DRIVING SAFELY Note how your vehicle reacts in these different exercises. CFMOTO recommends releasing the throttle before entering a turn to help initiate directional change. You will feel the lateral force increasing with the speed and with your steering input. The lateral force should be maintained as low as possible to make sure it does not cause the vehicle to roll over.
Page 111
SAFE OPERATION - DRIVING SAFELY Reverse Exercise Practice using the reverse: • Place 1 cone marker on both sides of the vehicle beside each rear wheel. • Move the vehicle forward until you can see the cone markers behind you, then stop the vehicle. Acknowledge the distance required to see obstacles behind you.
SAFE OPERATION - DRIVING SAFELY Operating Your Vehicle 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 terrain substance, shape, and steepness are unpredictable.
Page 113
SAFE OPERATION - DRIVING SAFELY WARNING When driving downhill in reverse, gravity can increase the vehicle speed above the set limited reverse speed. Failure to use caution when operating in reverse can result in serious injury or death. NOTE: This vehicle is equipped with a reverse speed limiter function. In reverse operation, the engine RPM is limited, thus limiting the vehicle reverse speed.
Page 114
SAFE OPERATION - DRIVING SAFELY Shallow Water Crossing 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 exceed depth equal to the bottom of the floor board to safely cross.
Page 115
SAFE OPERATION - DRIVING SAFELY Riding on Sand Sand and riding on sand dunes is a unique experience, but there are some basic precautions that should be observed. Wet, deep, or fine sand may create a loss of traction and cause the vehicle to slide, drop off or become “bogged”...
Page 116
SAFE OPERATION - DRIVING SAFELY Hill Driving Conditions When driving on hills or slopes, two things are highly important: be prepared for slippery surfaces or terrain variations, obstacles, and brace yourself properly inside vehicle. If you climb or descend a hill that is too slippery or has too loose a surface, you can lose control.
SAFE OPERATION - DRIVING SAFELY Hauling and Towing Loads Your vehicle can help you perform a number of different light tasks ranging from snow removal, to pulling wood, or carrying cargo. This can change the vehicle handling. To prevent possible injury, follow the instructions and warnings in this manual and on the vehicle.
Page 118
SAFE OPERATION - DRIVING SAFELY Vehicle Settings When Carrying Loads If the total load approaches 782 lb. (355 kg), including weight of operator, passenger, cargo, accessories and trailer tongue weight: • Inflate the tires to maximum pressure 10 PSI (70 kPa) Front, 14 PSI (100 kPa) Rear. •...
Page 119
SAFE OPERATION - DRIVING SAFELY Pulling or Towing Your vehicle is equipped with a hitch receiver and winch for towing or pulling. Pulling a Load • Never pull a load by attaching it to the cage. This can cause the vehicle to tip over. Use only the trailer hitch or winch (if installed) to pull a load.
Page 120
SAFE OPERATION - DRIVING SAFELY Towing a Load If a trailer is towed behind the vehicle, make sure that its hitch is compatible with the one on the vehicle. Make sure the trailer is horizontal with the vehicle. Use safety chains or cables that keep the trailer secured to the vehicle in the event of a hitch failure.
Page 121
SAFE OPERATION - DRIVING SAFELY • When operating with loads extending beyond the cargo area, stability and maneuverability may be adversely affected, causing the machine to overturn. • Towing a load while carrying cargo may cause an imbalanced condition that increases the possibility of vehicle overturn.
SAFE OPERATION - DRIVING SAFELY Winch Operation (Select Markets) Your vehicle may be equipped with a winch that can pull certain capacities and types of loads. It is useful for vehicle self-recovery when stuck, assisting another vehicle in recovery, moving fallen trees, removing brush, etc.
Page 123
SAFE OPERATION - DRIVING SAFELY • Never winch up or down, or to the sides at sharp angles. This can destabilize the winching vehicle and possibly cause it to move without warning. • Never attempt to winch loads that weigh more than the winch capacity rating. • Never touch, push, pull, or straddle the cable while winching a load.
Page 124
SAFE OPERATION - DRIVING SAFELY • If winching at an angle is unavoidable, follow these precautions while operating: A. Look at the winch drum occasionally. Never let the winch cable “stack” or accumulate at one end of the drum. Too much cable at one end of the drum can damage the winch and cable. B. If cable stacking occurs, stop winching.
Page 125
SAFE OPERATION - DRIVING SAFELY BEFORE YOU BEGIN - Realize that each winching situation is unique: • Take your time to think through the winch operation you are about to perform. • Proceed slowly and deliberately. • Never hurry or rush during winching. • Always pay attention to your surroundings.
Page 126
SAFE OPERATION - DRIVING SAFELY WARNING: Never use a ‘recovery strap’ for winching. Recovery straps are designed to stretch and could release excessive energy that can result in SEVERE INJURY or DEATH if the strap or winch cable breaks. Use only undamaged tow straps or chains that do not stretch. 5.
Page 127
SAFE OPERATION - DRIVING SAFELY Vehicle Recovery Methods Vehicle Self-Recovery: • A. Release the winch drum and pull out the required length of cable. • B. Whenever possible, pick an anchor point that aligns the winch cable to the vehicle’s centerline as close as possible.
Page 128
SAFE OPERATION - DRIVING SAFELY Recovery of Another Vehicle: • A. Release the winch drum and pull out the necessary length of cable. • B. Attach the winch hook to the vehicle. Whenever possible, pick an anchor point on the stuck vehicle that aligns the winch cable to the winching vehicle’s centerline as close as possible.
Page 129
SAFE OPERATION - DRIVING SAFELY • A kinked winch cable made of wire rope that has been “straightened out”, even though it may look usable, has been permanently and severely damaged. It can no longer achieve its load capacity rating. Promptly discontinue use of a winch cable in this condition. • A winch cable made of synthetic rope should be inspected for signs of fraying.
Page 130
SAFE OPERATION - DRIVING SAFELY • B. Pull out the winch cable that is wrapped unevenly onto the drum. • C. Re-engage the winch drum. • D. Have an assistant pull the winch cable hook strap tightly to apply about 100 lbs. (45 kg) of tension. • E.
Page 131
SAFE OPERATION - DRIVING SAFELY • Never use recovery straps with your winch. This is a form of shock loading. Recovery straps are designed to stretch and can store energy. Stored energy in the recovery strap is released if a failure occurs, making the event even more hazardous.
