Sound Judgment
Trail Riding
Use sound judgment when trail riding; that means riding on a trail that
fits your ability level. If the trail is pretty rugged, standing up on your
footrests will make it easier for you to endure the rough terrain.
Make yourself visible by using headlights and taillight and pull com-
pletely off the trail if you need to stop.
Keep your weight shifted into the slope. Denying the challenge means
sliding off the trail.
It also helps to know which trails you can legally ride and who else
might be on those same trails. These are signs currently used in some
areas to designate trail types and restrictions.

Equipment

The last thing you expected was that your ATV would break down in
the middle of the field... it's usually so reliable that sometimes you
forget the ATV has its limits.
ATV Maintenance
You have to maintain your ATV. The General Maintenance section of
this Operator's Manual tells you about taking care of your ATV. If, at
any time, abnormal noises, vibrations, or improper functioning of any
component of this ATV is detected, DO NOT OPERATE THE ATV.
Take the ATV to an authorized Arctic Cat ATV dealer for inspection
and adjustment or repair.
Cargo Limitations
One reason why passengers are prohib-
ited on this ATV is because their pres-
ence throws off the weight and balance of
the ATV. Cargo can do the same. Limit
the ATV to the specified load capacity
rating. The combined weight limit, including you and your personal
items, is a specified amount, so consult the ATV Load Capacity Rat-
ings Chart and monitor it carefully.
Extra weight on the ATV will also throw you off balance if it's not dis-
tributed evenly.
Indicates a potential hazard that could result in a serious injury or death.
Think about these when
dealing with weight:
1. Weight distribution
2. ATV speed
