Getting Acquainted with your Utility Vehicle
This off-road utility vehicle is a very unique vehicle
designed exclusively for off-road use. It is not designe
properly equipped, or licensed to be safely operated on
public streets and highways. This vehicle is designed to
carry two people and a limited amount of gear or cargo
comfortably and safely over rough terrain that was onl
accessible by ATV’s in the past.
Unlike ATV’s that have handlebar steering, Brister Utilit
Vehicle’s have a steering wheel with easy handling
rack-and pinion steering. The steering’s tight turning
radius makes this vehicle more maneuverable than
most ATV’s. Its four wheeled independent suspensio
large diameter hi-flotation tires and high center-frame
ground clearance adds up to excellent stability and a
smooth ride over rough terrain. Outstanding two
wheeled rear traction drive is achieved by using
premium off-road ATV type tires in tandem with the
engine mounted directly in front of the
