! WARNING
Indicates a hazardous situation which, if not
avoided, could result in death or serious injury.

People do all kinds of things that you
can’t predict or control.
Riding Companions
Leave a lot of space between you and
other riders, especially in dusty and dirty
conditions, because it’ll be difficult to see
the riders in front of you stopping.
Do not carry a passenger on any ATV
designed for single-rider use. These
ATVs do not have appropriate equipment
(hand-holds, footrests, etc) to accommo-
date riders. Additionally, the added
weight and weight shift can make the
vehicle difficult to control.
Other Vehicles
Depending on where you’re riding, you
might encounter other ATVs, bikes, or
motor vehicles on public lands. Respect the
presence of cars if you’re crossing roads or
riding in public areas and make yourself be
seen. If you can’t see other vehicles coming,
that means you’re invisible, too.
Hikers
With the renewed interest in hiking,
camping, and other outdoor activities,
people can show up in remote areas
where you would never expect them. For
their sake, keep your eyes open.
Animals and Nature
Respect the outdoors that you love. Don’t
use your ATV to chase animals or birds.
Drive around young trees rather than
over them. Keep clear of streams and
ditches with standing water.
Tread Lightly and leave it as you found
it.
The last thing you expected was that your
ATV would break down in the middle of
the field... it’s usually so reliable that
sometimes you forget the ATV has its
limits.
ATV Maintenance
You have to maintain your ATV. The Gen-
eral Maintenance section of this Opera-
tor’s Manual tells you about taking care of
your ATV. If, at any time, abnormal noises,
vibrations, or improper functioning of any
component of this ATV is detected, DO
NOT OPERATE THE ATV. Take the ATV
to an authorized dealer for inspection and
adjustment or repair.
Cargo Limitations
One reason why passengers are prohibited
on this ATV is because their presence
throws off the weight and balance of the
ATV. Cargo can do the same. Limit the
ATV to the specified load capacity rating.
The combined weight limit, including you
and your personal items, is a specified
amount, so consult the Load Capacity Rat-
ings Chart and monitor it carefully.
Extra weight on the ATV will also throw
you off balance if it’s not distributed evenly.
