Warning Danger of accidents Reduced braking caused by spongy pressure point of front or rear brake. Have the brake system checked in an authorized KTM workshop, and do not ride any further. Warning Danger of accidents Reduced braking due to wet or dirty brakes.
Info If you hear unusual noises while riding, stop immediately, switch off the engine and contact an authorized KTM workshop. If the vehicle goes out of control and you fall off the vehicle, the clip of the emergency OFF switch is pulled off by the rip cord attached to your clothing.
RIDING INSTRUCTIONS Riding downhill Warning Danger of accidents Danger of accidents when riding on slopes. Always check the terrain before riding onto a slope. Never ride on a slope with an inclination of more than 25°. Never ride on a slope that exceeds your driving skills. Never ride down a slope backward.
RIDING INSTRUCTIONS Riding perpendicular to the slope Warning Danger of accidents When riding perpendicular to a slope, the vehicle can tip easily and roll over. Avoid riding perpendicular to the slope if possible. Ride slowly and shift you weight toward the slope. If the vehicle starts to tip over, steer it downhill and dismount immediately to the uphill side.
After riding through water, dry the brakes by lightly activating both brakes until nor- mal braking power is available again. If the vehicle becomes submerged, an authorized KTM workshop must perform a thorough check and comprehensive service.. Do not start the engine.
RIDING INSTRUCTIONS Refueling Danger Fire hazard Fuel can easily catch fire. Never fill up the vehicle near open flames or burning cigarettes, and always switch off the engine first. Be careful that no fuel is spilt, especially on hot vehicle components. Clean up spilt fuel immediately. Fuel in the fuel tank expands when warm and can escape if the tank is overfilled.
