WARNING
Indicates a hazardous situation which, if not avoided, could result in death or serious injury.
AN ATV IS NOT A TOY AND CAN
BE HAZARDOUS TO OPERATE.
• Always use proper procedures if you stall or roll backward when climbing
a hill. To avoid stalling, maintain a steady speed when climbing a hill. If
you stall or roll backwards, follow the special procedure for braking
described in this manual. Dismount on the uphill side or to either side if
pointed straight uphill. Turn the ATV around and mount following the pro-
cedure described in this manual.
• Always check for obstacles before operating in a new area. Never attempt
to operate over large obstacles, such as large rocks or fallen trees.
Always follow proper procedures when operating over obstacles as
described in this manual.
• Always be careful of skidding or sliding. On slippery surfaces, such as
ice, go slowly and be very cautious in order to reduce the chance of skid-
ding or sliding out of control.
• Never operate an ATV in fast flowing water or in water deeper than the
footrests. Remember that wet brakes may have reduced stopping capa-
bility. 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 tires specified in this manual. Always main-
tain proper tire pressure as described in this manual.
• Never improperly install or improperly use accessories on your ATV.
• Never install a twist grip throttle on this ATV.
• Never exceed the stated load capacity for this ATV. One operator only. No
cargo, passengers, or towing.
