WARNING
POTENTIAL HAZARD
ATV may roll off the truck or trailer
WHAT CAN HAPPEN
Ordinary ropes can stretch and break. The parking
brake on this vehicle is not designed to prevent a
roll-away during transport. A properly applied
parking brake can slowly release braking force
resulting in this ATV becoming unstable during
transport.
HOW TO AVOID THE HAZARD
Only use "tie-downs" designed for cargo securing
application. See a Cannondale motorsports dealer.
Never rely solely on the parking brake on this ATV
to secure the vehicle during transport.
1. Make sure all four wheels are positioned squarely on a
level surface (the normal operating position).
2. Make sure the fuel cap is tightened securely.
3. Apply the parking brake and shift the transmission into
NEUTRAL.
4. Secure the vehicle with suitable tie-downs in the
locations shown - compress suspension slightly when
tightening the tie-downs.
