SAFETY INFORMATION

General Precautions

Covers essential safety measures, including avoiding carbon monoxide poisoning, gasoline fires, and burns from hot parts.

Avoid Carbon Monoxide Poisoning

Breathing carbon monoxide can cause headaches, dizziness, drowsiness, nausea, confusion, and eventually death.

Avoid Gasoline Fires and Other Hazards

Gasoline is highly flammable and explosive; fuel vapors can ignite from a spark or flame many feet away.

Avoid Burns from Hot Parts

Certain components like brake rotors and exhaust become hot during operation; avoid contact to prevent burn wounds.

Accessories and Modifications

Modifications or accessories may affect vehicle handling; use BRP-approved parts and avoid unauthorized modifications.

OPERATION WARNINGS

Operating Vehicle Without Proper Instruction

Risk of accident increases if operator lacks proper instruction on vehicle operation and terrain conditions.

Age Recommendations

Failure to follow age recommendations can lead to severe injury or death, as skills may not match vehicle capabilities.

Physical Limitations of the Passenger

Passenger must keep feet on footrests and hands on grab handles at all times for stability.

Carrying More than one (1) Passenger

Carrying more than one passenger reduces balance and control, increasing accident risk.

Passenger(s) to sit on Front or Rear Racks

Never allow passengers on front or rear racks; this impairs stability and can cause loss of control.

Vehicle on Paved Surfaces

Tires are for off-road use; paved surfaces affect handling and control, potentially causing loss of control.

Vehicle on Public Streets, Roads or Highways

Operating on public roads can lead to collisions with other vehicles; this is often illegal.

Riding Without Protective Gear

Wearing approved helmet, eye protection, and protective gear reduces the risk of severe head injury or death.

Drugs or Alcohol

Using the vehicle with drugs or alcohol impairs judgment, reaction time, balance, and perception, increasing accident risk.

Excessive Speeds

Operating at excessive speeds increases loss of control risk, potentially resulting in an accident.

Wheelies, Jumps and Other Stunts

Attempting stunts like wheelies or jumps increases accident chance, including overturns.

Vehicle Inspection

Failure to inspect or properly maintain the vehicle increases accident or equipment damage possibility.

Frozen Waterways

Breaking through ice on waterways can lead to severe injury or death.

Proper Position on the Vehicle

Operator and passenger must maintain proper body position for control and balance.

Unfamiliar Terrain

Use extra care on unfamiliar terrain to avoid hidden obstacles and potential loss of control.

Operating on Excessively Rough, Slippery or Loose Terrain

Extra care is needed on rough, slippery, or loose terrain to avoid loss of traction and control.

Turning Improperly

Improper turning can cause loss of control, collision, overturn, or passenger ejection.

Excessively Steep Hills

Vehicle can overturn more easily on extremely steep hills; never operate on hills too steep for abilities.

Climbing Hills

Improper hill climbing can cause loss of control, overturn, or passenger ejection.

Down a Hill

Improper downhill operation can cause loss of control, overturn, or passenger ejection.

Crossing or Turning on Hills

Improper hill crossing or turning can cause loss of control, overturn, or passenger ejection.

Stalling, Rolling Backwards or Dismounting While Climbing a Hill

Stalling or rolling backward while climbing a hill can result in vehicle overturning.

Operating Over Obstacles

Improper obstacle operation can cause loss of control, collision, or vehicle overturn.

Skidding or Sliding

Improper skidding or sliding can lead to loss of control, overturn, or passenger ejection.

Deep or Fast Flowing Water

Operating in deep or fast water can cause loss of traction and control, potentially leading to an accident.

Operating in Reverse

Improper reverse operation can lead to hitting obstacles or people, resulting in serious injury.

Tire Pressure

Improper tire pressure affects handling and control, potentially causing loss of control or tire failure.

Improper Modifications

Improper modifications can alter handling, potentially causing accidents.

Loading, Carrying or Towing Cargo

Overloading or improper cargo handling can change vehicle handling, leading to accidents.

Transporting Flammable or Dangerous Material

Transporting flammable or dangerous materials can lead to explosions and serious injury or death.

PRE-RIDE INSPECTION CHECK LIST

What to Do Before Starting the Engine (Key OFF)

Inspect engine oil, coolant, brake fluid, check for leaks, throttle and brake levers, and air filter.

What to Do Before Starting the Engine (Key ON)

Check digital display for indicator lamps and messages, and inspect operation of lights.

What to Do After the Engine is Started

Check ignition switch, engine stop switch, steering, shift lever, brakes, and 2WD/4WD selector operation.

RIDING THE VEHICLE

Riding Gear

Operator must wear an approved helmet, eye protection, gloves, boots, long-sleeved shirt, and pants for protection.

Carrying a Passenger

Vehicle is designed for operator only; never carry passengers on racks or aftermarket seats.

Recreational Riding

Respect other trail users and designated areas; stay to the right of the trail and be prepared to stop.

Environment

Ride responsibly: avoid sensitive areas, do not litter, and respect property.

Design Limitation

The vehicle is light and its operation must be restricted to its proper purpose; added weight affects stability and performance.

Off-Road Operation

Off-road operation is inherently dangerous due to unpredictable terrain; utmost care is required.

Riding Techniques

Increase knowledge and skills via certified training; respect trail signs and drive within visibility and ability limits.

Body Position

Maintain proper control by keeping hands on handlebars and feet on footpegs at all times.

Crossing Roads

Ensure visibility on both sides of the road before crossing; drive straight and avoid abrupt changes.

Turning

Practice turning at low speeds; keep hands on handlebars, feet on footpegs, and maintain steady speed.

Braking

Keep hands on handlebars and feet on footpegs when braking; practice braking response at various speeds.

Reverse Operation

Check path behind vehicle before reversing; proceed slowly and avoid sharp turns.

Obstacles

Traverse obstacles with caution, avoid large or dangerous ones; approach small obstacles at 90 degrees.

Uphill Driving

Vehicle has excellent climbing ability but can tip over; be aware of terrain and maintain proper body position.

Downhill Driving

Keep body weight rearwards, stay seated, apply brakes gradually to prevent skidding.

Side Hilling

Risky type of riding; keep body weight on the upside of the slope and be prepared to dismount if vehicle topples.

Drop-Offs

Avoid drop-offs; vehicle can 'bottom out' or nose dive and tip over.

Crossing Water

Check water depth and current before crossing; water should not go above footrests.

Riding on Ice

Ensure ice is thick and sound enough to support vehicle and load; slow down and avoid rapid braking.

Riding on Snow Covered Surfaces

Check for snow/ice accumulations that obstruct visibility or clog openings; reduce speed and allow greater braking distance.

Riding on Sand

Wet, deep, or fine sand can cause loss of traction; slow down and be watchful of conditions.

Riding on Loose Stones

Loose stones or gravel affect steering, potentially causing slides or tip-overs, especially at high speeds.

MOVING LOADS AND DOING WORK

Working with Your Vehicle

Vehicle assists with light tasks like snow removal, pulling wood, or carrying cargo; use authorized accessories.

Carrying Loads

Loads affect handling, stability, and braking; do not exceed total load capacity.

Loading the Cargo Racks

Load cargo low and evenly distributed; secure it properly and ensure it does not interfere with controls or visibility.

Hauling a Load

Never attach loads to the bumper; use only the trailer hitch. Respect maximum hauling capacity.

Pulling a Trailer

Towing increases toppling risk, especially on slopes; ensure hitch compatibility and reduce speed.
