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
addition, slippery or loose surfaces could result in uncontrollable side
sliding. Do not attempt to turn the vehicle downhill with the slide. Avoid all
objects or depressions that will intensify the raising of one side of the vehicle
higher than the other, thus causing rollover.
Drop-Offs
This vehicle will "bottom-out" and usually stop if either the front or rear wheels
are driven over a drop-off. If the drop is sharp or deep, the vehicle will nose dive
and tip over.
Avoid negotiating drop-offs. Reverse and select an alternate route.
