Important Notes - KTM 525 XC ATV 2008 Owner's Manual

IMPORTANT NOTES

Use definition
KTM ATVs are designed and built to withstand the normal stresses and strains of competitive use. The vehicles comply with currently
valid regulations and categories of the top international motorsport organizations.
Warning
Danger of accidents Incorrect assessment of riding situations.
The vehicle may only be ridden by persons over the age of 16.
Info
The ATV must be used only on secluded property remote from public road traffic.
The ATV is designed for off-road sport endurance competition (Enduro) and not for the predominant motocross use.
Maintenance
A prerequisite for perfect operation and prevention of wear is that the engine and chassis maintenance and adjustment work described
in the owner's manual are properly carried out. Poor adjustment and tuning of the engine and chassis can lead to damage and break-
age of components.
Using the vehicle in extreme conditions such as very muddy or wet terrain can lead to above-average wear of components such as the
transmission train or the brakes. For this reason, it may be necessary to service or replace worn parts before the limit specified in the
greasing and service table is reached.
Pay careful attention to the prescribed running-in period, inspection and maintenance intervals. If you observe these exactly, you will
ensure a much longer service life for your vehicle.
Warranty
The maintenance work prescribed in the greasing and service table must be carried out in an authorized KTM workshop and confirmed
in the customer's service record, since otherwise no warranty claims will be recognized. No warranty claims can be considered for
damage resulting from manipulations and alterations to the vehicle.
Fuel, oils, etc.
You should use the fuels, oils and greases according to specifications as listed in the owner's manual.
Spare parts, accessories

resulting damage or loss.

Environment
Offroad riding is a wonderful sport and we naturally hope that you will be able to enjoy it to the fullest. However, it is a potential prob-
lem for the environment and can lead to conflicts with other persons. But if you use your vehicle responsibly, you can ensure that such
problems and conflicts do not have to occur. To protect the future of offroad sport, make sure that you use your ATV legally, display
environmental consciousness, and respect the rights of others.
