BOMBARDIER Quest Max 2004 Operator's Manual page 13

Never operate on excessively rough, slippery or loose terrain until you have
learned and practiced the skills necessary to control this vehicle on such ter-
rain. Always be especially cautious on these kinds of terrain. Always keep in
mind that you are carrying a passenger.
Always follow proper procedures for turning as described further in this Oper-
ator's Guide. Practice turning at low speeds before attempting to turn at faster
speeds. Do not turn at excessive speed. Carrying a passenger may affect the
stability and the handling of the vehicle.
Never operate this vehicle on hills too steep for the vehicle or for your abilities.
Do not forget, the operator is responsible for the safety of the passenger. In
doubt, disembark the passenger before climbing hill. Always remember that
the vehicle handling, stability and braking distance may be affected when riding
with a passenger.
Always follow proper procedures for climbing hills as described further in this
Operator's Guide. Check the terrain carefully before you start up any hill. Never
climb hills with excessively slippery or loose surfaces. Shift your weight for-
ward. Never open the throttle suddenly or make sudden gear changes. Never
go over the top of any hill at high speed. Always keep in mind that you are
carrying a passenger.
Always follow proper procedures for going down hills and for braking on hills as
described further in this Operator's Guide. Check the terrain carefully before you
start down any hill. Shift your weight backward. Never go down a hill at high
speed. Avoid going down a hill at an angle that would cause the vehicle to lean
sharply to one side. Go straight down the hill where possible. Always keep in
mind that you are carrying a passenger.
Always follow proper procedures for crossing the side of a hill as described
further in this Operator's Guide. Avoid hills with excessively slippery or loose
surfaces. Shift your weight to the uphill side of the vehicle. Never attempt to
turn the vehicle around on any hill until you have mastered the turning technique
described in this Operator's Guide on level ground. Avoid crossing the side of
a steep hill if possible. Always keep in mind that you are carrying a passenger.
Always use proper procedures if you stall or roll backwards when climbing a
hill. To avoid stalling, use proper gear and maintain a steady speed when climb-
ing a hill. If you stall or roll backwards, follow the special procedure for braking
described in this Operator's Guide. First, disembark the passenger then the
operator. Dismount on the uphill side or to a side if pointed straight uphill. Turn
the vehicle around and remount, following the procedure described further in
this Operator's Guide.
Always check for obstacles before operating in a new area. Never attempt to
operate over large obstacles, such as large rocks or fallen trees. Always follow
proper procedures when operating over obstacles as described further in this
Operator's Guide. Do not forget, the operator is responsible for the safety of
the passenger. In doubt, disembark the passenger to get through the obstacles.
Always be careful when skidding or sliding. Never attempt with a passenger;
overturn or passenger ejection may occur. 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.
