RIDING THE VEHICLE
E E n n v v i i r r o o n n m m e e n n t t
One of the benefits of this vehicle is that it can take you off the beaten
path away from most communities. However, you should always re-
spect nature and the rights of others to enjoy it. Do not ride in environ-
mentally sensitive areas. Do not drive over forest crops or shrubs, nor
cut down trees or take down fencing, nor spin your wheels and destroy
the terrain. "Tread Lightly".
This vehicle can cause OHV wildfires if debris builds up near the ex-
haust or other engine hot spots and ignites then falls off into dry grass.
Avoid riding in wet areas, through muskeg or tall grass, where debris
can build up. Should you ride in those areas, inspect and remove all
debris from your engine and hot spots. Refer to vehicle care for
details.
Chasing wildlife is in many areas illegal. Wildlife can die of exhaustion
after being chased by a motorized vehicle. If you encounter animals
on the trail, stop and observe quietly and with caution. It will be one of
the better memories of your life.
Observe the rule "what you take in, carry out". Do not litter. Do not start
campfires unless you have permission to do so, and then only away
from dry areas. The hazards you may create on the trail may cause in-
jury to others or yourself, even at a later date.
Respect farm lands. Always obtain the permission of the landowner
before riding on private land. Respect crops, farm animals and prop-
erty lines.
Finally, do not pollute streams, lakes or rivers and do not modify the
engine or exhaust system, or remove any of its components as it will
alter the vehicle emissions.

Although the vehicle is exceptionally rugged for its class, it is still a
light vehicle by definition and its operation must be restricted to its
proper purpose.
The addition of weight to any part of the vehicle changes its gravita-
tional stability and modifies its performance.

The very nature of off-road operation is dangerous. Any terrain, which
has not been specially prepared to carry vehicles, presents an inher-
ent danger where terrain substance, shape and steepness are unpre-
dictable. The terrain itself presents a continual element of danger,
which must be knowingly accepted by anyone venturing over it.
