Read Before Installation
This product is designed for use on ATVs and/or RUVs to increase ground clearance and fender clearance. It is
designed for utility type, slow-speed use on relatively flat terrain in deep mud or snow. Although we have many
thousands of satisfied lift kit customers and over 1,800 franchised dealers selling and installing lift kits, purchasers
should be aware that use of this product may increase the frequency of required maintenance, part wear, and will
raise the center of gravity on your ATV and/or RUV, increasing risk of roll-over, injury and death on all types of
terrain. It is your responsibility to always inform other operators and passengers of this vehicle about the added
risks.
We recommend that wider tires and/or wheel spacers be used to achieve a wider stance and to improve stability of the
ATV and/or RUV. Riders should be advised that the handling characteristics of a taller ATV and/or RUV are
different and require extra care when riding, particularly on side hills or off-camber situations. If you further raise
the center of gravity by adding taller tires, heavy loads to racks or seats, or by any other means, the ATV and/or RUV
must be operated with even more care, at slower speeds and on relatively flat ground. All turns should be done at a
slow speed, even on level ground.
Operation of an ATV and/or RUV with or without a lift kit, while or shortly after consuming alcohol or drugs,
subjects the rider to the risk of serious bodily harm or possible death. This risk is compounded if the rider does not
wear an approved helmet and other safety gear. High Lifter urges that all approved safety gear be worn when riding
an ATV and/or RUV as a driver or passenger.
If this product is not what you expected, or is not consistent with your intended use, you should return the product
immediately to the seller, before installation, for a refund of the purchase price; less any fees. After installation,
product is warranted for 90 days for defects in workmanship and materials. Warranty is limited to refund of the
purchase price or replacement of the kit, at the seller’s option.
Dealers and other Installers
You are responsible for informing your customer and end user of the information contained above and the increased
potential hazards of operating an ATV and/or RUV equipped with a lift kit. If you install the lift kit, it is your
responsibility to also install the warning label prominently in view of the driver and in prominent view of the driver
and passenger on RUVs and multi-passenger ATVs. They should also be instructed to notify anyone operating the
vehicle, as well as any passengers, that a lift kit is installed.
As discussed above, it is critically important that they be instructed in the need for slower speed operation, regardless
of terrain, after this lift kit is installed.
