allow faster vehicles to pass you.

differently
while
on-paved surfaces so make sure to
keep extra awareness to you for:
– Terrain,
– Road surface condition,
– Line of sights,
– Traffic,
– Weather condition.
Off-Road Operation
The very nature of off-road operation
is dangerous. Any terrain, which has
not been specially prepared to carry
vehicles, presents an inherent danger
where terrain substance, shape and
steepness are unpredictable. The ter-
rain itself presents a continual element
of danger, which must be knowingly
accepted by anyone venturing over it.
An operator who takes a vehicle
off-road should always exercise the ut-
most care in selecting the safest path
and keeping close watch on the ter-
rain ahead of him. The vehicle should
never be operated by anyone who is
not completely familiar with the driving
instructions applicable to the vehicle,
nor should it be operated on steep or
treacherous terrain.
General Riding Techniques
General Driving Tips
Care, caution, experience and driving
skill are the best precautions against
the hazards of vehicle operation.
Whenever there is the slightest doubt
that the vehicle can safely negotiate an
obstacle or a particular piece of terrain,
always choose an alternate route.
In off-road operation, power and trac-
tion, not speed, are important. Never
drive faster than visibility and your own
ability to select a safe route permit.
Always go slowly and be extra careful
when operating on unfamiliar terrain.
Always be alert to changing terrain con-
ditions when operating this vehicle.
Be especially cautious on excessively
rough, slippery, icy or loose terrain.
Constantly watch the terrain ahead
for sudden changes in slopes or ob-
stacles, such as rocks or stumps, that
may cause loss of stability, resulting in
tip over or rollover.
Never operate the vehicle if the con-
trols do not function normally. See an
authorized Can-Am dealer.
To maintain proper control it is strongly
advised that you keep your hands on
the steering wheel and within easy
reach of all controls. The same holds
true for your feet. To minimize the pos-
sibility of any leg or foot injury, keep
your left foot on the footrest and right
foot on the floor at all times. Staying
completely within the cockpit will also
help keep you from striking objects
outside the vehicle.
Watch for and avoid branches and
other objects that could enter the cock-
pit and strike you or your passenger.
