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.
