Operator Safety
S Avoid operating the ATV through deep or fast-flowing wat er. If it’s unavoidable, travel
slowly, balance your weight carefully, avoid sudden movements, and maintain a slow
and steady forward motion. Do not make sudden turns or stops, and do not make sudden
throttle changes.
S Wet brakes may have reduced stopping ability. Test the brakes after leaving water. If
necessary, apply them lightly several times to allow friction to dry out the pads.
S Always check for obstacles or people behind t he ATV before operating i n reverse. When
it’s safe to proceed in reverse, move slowly and avoid turning at sharp angles.
S Always use the size and type of tires specified for your ATV, and always m aintain proper
tire pressure.
S Never modify an ATV through improper installation or use of accessories.
S Never exceed the stated load capacity for your ATV.
