RULES FOR SAFE OPERATION
Always follow proper procedures for going down hills and
for braking on hills as described in this manual. Check the
terrain carefully before you start down any hill. Shift your
weight backward. Never go down a hill at high speed.
Avoid going down a hill at an angle that would cause the
vehicle to lean sharply to one side. Go straight down the
hill where possible.
Always follow proper procedures for crossing the side of a
hill as described in this manual. Avoid hills with excessively
slippery or loose surfaces. Shift your weight to the uphill
side of the ATV. Never attempt to turn the ATV around
on any hill until you have mastered the turning technique
described in this manual on level ground. Avoid crossing
the side of a steep hill if possible.
Always use proper procedures if you stall or roll backwards
when climbing a hill. To avoid stalling, use proper gear
and 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 a side if pointed straight uphill. Turn the ATV
around and remount, following the procedure described
in this manual.
Never exceed the stated load capacity for an ATV. Cargo
should be properly distributed and securely attached at
every corner (see page 19). Reduce speed and follow
instructions in this manual for carrying cargo. Allow greater
distance for braking.
The combined weight of the rider and any accessories or
cargo must never exceed the vehicle’s load capacity of
364 lbs. (165 kg). Take into account the load being carried
when operating the ATV as it may change the way the unit
operates.
Never sit or allow others to sit on the ATV’s cargo racks.
Never ride alone. This ATV can go 50 miles (80,4 km) in
an hour, which may be farther than you can walk back in
the event of a problem with the ATV.
Shifting into or from reverse can only be done in first gear.
You must come to a complete stop before shifting into or
from reverse.
We believe in conservation and protection of the earth’s
natural resources. We encourage every vehicle owner
and operator to do the same by obeying posted signs and
riding only in areas designated and approved for off-road
recreational use.
