vehicle on such terrain. Always be especially cautious on these
kinds of terrain.
– Always follow proper procedures for turning as described in RID-
ING TECHNIQUES .
– Never operate this vehicle on hills too steep for the vehicle or for
your abilities.
– Always follow proper procedures for climbing hills as described in
RIDING TECHNIQUES . Check the terrain carefully before you
start up any hill. Never climb hills with excessively slippery or loose
surfaces.
– Always follow proper procedures for going down hills and for brak-
ing on hills as described in RIDING TECHNIQUES . Check the ter-
rain carefully before you start down any hill.
– Always follow proper procedures for crossing the side of a hill as
described in RIDING TECHNIQUES . Avoid hills with excessively
slippery or loose surfaces.
– Always use proper procedures if you stall or roll backwards when
climbing a hill. To avoid stalling, use low gear and maintain a
steady speed when climbing a hill. If you stall or roll backwards, fol-
low the driving technique procedures as described in RIDING
TECHNIQUES .
– Always check for obstacles before operating in a new area. Never
attempt to operate over large obstacles, such as large rocks or fall-
en trees. Always follow proper procedures when operating over ob-
stacles as described in RIDING TECHNIQUES .
– Always be careful when skidding or sliding. Learn to safely control
skidding or sliding by practicing at low speeds and on level smooth
terrain. On extremely slippery surfaces, such as ice, go slowly and
be very cautious in order to reduce the chance of skidding out of
control. If you are operating a 2-UP model and have a passenger
on-board, never attempt skidding or sliding; overturn or passenger
ejection may occur.
– Always be sure there are no obstacles or people behind the vehicle
when you operate in reverse. When it is safe to proceed in reverse,
go slowly. Take into account that on a 2-UP model the passenger
can obstruct your view.
– Never exceed the stated load limits for this vehicle including opera-
tor, passenger (2-UP models), all other loads and added accesso-
ries. Cargo should be properly distributed and securely attached.
Reduce speed and follow instructions in this guide for carrying car-
go or pulling a trailer. Allow greater distance for braking.
– This vehicle is not designed for jumping, nor can it fully absorb the
high impact energy generated during manoeuvres such as jumping
which, can be passed on to you, the operator. Performing wheelies
can cause the vehicle to flip over onto you. Both practices have a
high risk for you and your passenger (2-UP models) and should be
avoided at all times.
– Never operate this vehicle through deep or fast flowing water.
Water should never exceed the center of the wheels. Remember
