Safety
• Always check for obstacles before oper-
ating in a new area. Never attempt to 
operate over large obstacles, such as 
rocks or fallen trees. Always follow 
proper procedures when operating over 
obstacles as described in this manual.
• Avoid operating the ATV through deep or 
fast flowing water. If you cannot avoid 
water which exceeds the recommended 
maximum depth (see page 106), go 
slowly, balance your weight carefully 
avoiding sudden movements, maintain a 
slow and steady forward motion, do not 
make sudden turns or stops, and do not 
make sudden throttle changes.
• Wet brakes may have reduced stopping 
ability. Test your brakes after leaving 
water. If necessary apply them lightly 
several times to let friction dry out the 
pads.
• Always use the size and type of tires 
specified in this manual. Always maintain 
proper tire pressure as described in this 
manual.
• Never modify an ATV through improper 
installation or use of accessories.
• Never exceed the stated load capacity for 
an ATV. 
• Always remove the ignition key when the 
vehicle is not in use to prevent unautho-
rized use or accidental starting.
