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 la-
bels as well as the safety video that came with this vehicle. They more com-
pletely 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 per-
sonal safety that you know the controls and features of this vehicle. Equally im-
portant 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.
Always respect all road traffic laws when operating your vehicle on public roads
or streets. If you have to cross a road, the lead driver should get off his vehicle
the observe and give direction to the other riders. The last person after crossing
then assists the lead driver to cross.
Do not travel on sidewalks. They are designated for pedestrian use.
Information in this Operator's Guide is limited. It is strongly recommended that
you obtain further information and training from your local authorities, ATV clubs,
a recognized ATV training organization or contact an authorized Can-Am Off--
road dealer.
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
including 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 rid-
ing 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
