This is a high performance off-road vehicle. Operators must be responsible and
use care to avoid rollovers, tipovers, collisions, and other accidents. Even with
vehicle safety features (such as protective structure, seat belts, side nets, doors)
and protective gear (such as a helmet), there is always a risk of injury or death in
these accidents. To reduce the risk of serious injury or death, follow the rules in
this section.

Always inspect and confirm the safe operating condition of your vehicle prior to
ride. Always follow the maintenance schedule described in this Operator's Guide.
Never allow anyone to operate your vehicle unless they are responsible and can
be trusted with a high performance vehicle. Consider supervising new or young
operators and setting rules and limits (e.g., whether they can carry passengers,
what they may do with the vehicle, where they may ride, etc.) for anyone using
your vehicle.

We encourage you to have an Annual Safety Inspection of your vehicle. Please
contact an authorized BRP dealer for further details. Though not required, it is
recommended that an authorized BRP dealer performs the preseason prepara-
tion of your vehicle. Each visit to your authorized BRP dealer is a great opportu-
nity for your dealer to verify if your vehicle is included in any safety campaign.
We also urge you to visit your authorized BRP dealer in a timely manner if you
become aware of any safety related campaigns.
See an authorized BRP dealer for available accessories you may require.
