close watch on the terrain ahead of him. On o account should the vehicle be
operated by anyone who is not completely familiar with the driving instructions
applicable to the vehicle, nor should it be operated on steep or treacherous
terrain.
General Operating and Safety Precautions
Care, caution, experience and driving skill are the best precautions against the
hazards of vehicle operation.
Whenever there is the slightest doubt that the vehicle can safely negotiate an
obstacle or a particular piece of terrain. always choose an alternate route.
In off-road(ON-ROAD ALLOWED FOR EU MARKET WITH SPEED
LIMITATION UNDER T HOMOLOGATION) operation, power and traction,
not speed, are important. Never drive aster than visibility and your own ability to
select a safe route permit.
Constantly watch the terrain ahead for sudden changes in slopes or obstacles
such as rocks or stumps, that may cause loss of stability, resulting in tip over or
rollover.
Never operate the vehicle if the controls do not function normally.
When operating in reverse, check that the path behind the vehicle is free of
people or obstacles. Proceed slowly and avoid sharp turns. When stopped or
parked, always set the shift lever to the PARK position and apply the parking
brake. This is especially important when parking on a slope. On very steep
inclines or if the vehicle is carrying cargo, the wheels should be blocked us inn
rocks or bricks.
Reverse Operation
When operating in reverse, check that the path behind the vehicle is free of
people or obstacles. Proceed slowly and avoid sharp turns.
We recommend sitting on your ATV when operating in reverse. Avoid standing
up. Your weight could shift forward against throttle lever, causing an
unexpected acceleration.
Downhill Driving
This vehicle can climb slopes that are steeper than it can safely
descend. Therefore, it is essential to assure that a safe route exists to descend
a slope before you climb it.
Decelerating while negotiating a slippery downhill slope could "toboggan" the
vehicle. Maintain steady speed and/or accelerate slightly to regain control.
Side Hilling
Whenever possible, such operation should be avoided. If necessary, do so with
extreme caution. Side hilling on steep inclines could result in rollover. In
