BOMBARDIER Outlander 400, Operator'S Manual

Page: 10 / 148

INTRODUCTION
Your dealer should have provided you
with some basic information on the
particular controls and features of your
new vehicle. Please take the time
to study this
OPERATOR'S GUIDE
and all on-product warning labels as
well as the Safety Videocassette that
came with this vehicle. They more
completely describe what you should
know about this vehicle before riding
it.
Whether you are a new user or an
experienced rider, it is important for
your personal safety that you know the
controls and features of this vehicle.
Equally important is knowing how to
properly ride.
Irrespective of your age, experience or
state regulations, it is always prudent
for you or any other person who may
ride your vehicle, to take an approved
safe riding course. Please check with
your dealer or local authorities for avail-
ability in your area. If you are a com-
pletely new rider, this should be done
before your first ride. Your instructor
should be able to provide advice on lo-
cal conditions and safe riding practices
particular to the area.
Riding conditions vary from place
to place. Each is subject to weather
conditions which may radically change
from time to time and from season to
season. Riding on sand is different
than riding on snow or through forests
or marshes. Each location may re-
quire a greater degree of awareness
and skill. Show good judgement. Al-
ways proceed with caution. Please
do not take any unnecessary risks that
could leave you stranded or possibly
injured.
The contents of this OPERATOR'S
GUIDE provide riding information
which has been proven reliable by
other users.
They are not intend-
ed as a definitive means of avoiding
accidents. How you apply this infor-
mation, coupled with your mental and
physical condition, the particular ter-
rain hazard and your risk acceptance
level will have an effect on your rid-
ing experience. Have fun... and ride
responsibly.
This OPERATOR'S GUIDE has been
prepared to acquaint the owner/oper-
ator of a new vehicle with the vari-
ous vehicle controls, maintenance and
safe operating instructions. They are
indispensable for the proper use of the
product.
We would be pleased to receive any
comments on the content and for-
mat of this
OPERATOR'S GUIDE , the
SAFETY VIDEOCASSETTE or on-prod-
uct warnings labels.
