Routine Maintenance

Once your ride completed, it is wise to remove any build up of snow, ice, mud and
grime. Not only will this help you keep your vehicle longer and in good condition
for resale but will eliminate potential hazards the next time you use the vehicle.
Wash your vehicle in warm soapy water then allow it to dry. (A towel may help).
Do not wash your vehicle outside during freezing weather. Apply appropriate
lubrication as described in the

MAINTENANCE INFORMATION

section.

Part of your responsibility towards safety is to respect the contents of this Op-
erator's Guide. It provides valuable advice on how to properly take care of your
vehicle. If further assistance is required your authorized Can-Am dealer is always
willing to help.

Modification of the vehicle to increase speed and performance may violate the
terms and conditions of your vehicle limited warranty. In addition, certain modifi-
cations including the removal of engine or exhaust components are illegal under
most laws.

Changing the wheel and/or tire size may affect the stability of the vehicle. Incor-
rect tire pressure may lead to blow outs or cause a tire to move around on its
rim and become lost or damaged. Wheels or tires which are damaged should
always be replaced.
