SAFETY
Operator Safety
S
Avoid operating the ATV through deep
or fast-flowing water. If it’s unavoid-
able, travel slowly, balance your weight
carefully, avoid sudden movements, and
maintain a slow and steady forward mo-
tion. 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 wa-
ter. If necessary, apply them lightly sev-
eral times to allow friction to dry out the
pads.
S
Always check for obstacles or people be-
hind the ATV before operating in re-
verse. 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 spe-
cified for your ATV, and always maintain
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.
