INTRODUCTION

Your distributor/dealer should have
provided you with some basic infor-
mation 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 la-
bels as well as the

SAFETY VIDEO

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 ex-
perienced rider, it is important for your
personal safety as well as passenger
safety that you know the controls and
features of this vehicle. Equally impor-
tant 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 distributor/dealer or local authori-
ties for availability in your area. If you
are a completely new rider, this should
be done before your first ride. Your in-
structor should be able to provide ad-
vice on local 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 rid-
ing on snow or through forests or
marshes. Each location may require a
greater degree of awareness and skill
may not be suitable with a passen-
ger. Show good judgement. Always
proceed with caution. Please do not
take any unnecessary risks that could
leave you or your passenger stranded
or possibly injured.

The vehicle handling, stability and
braking distance may be affected
when riding with a passenger. Safe-
ly reduce speed when riding with a
passenger. Allow greater distance for
braking.

The contents of this Operator's Guide
provide riding information which has
been proven reliable by other users.
They are not intended as a definitive
means of avoiding accidents. How
you apply this information, coupled
with your mental and physical condi-
tion, the particular terrain hazard and
your risk acceptance level will have
an effect on your riding experience.
Have fun... and ride responsibly.

This Operator's Guide has been pre-
pared to acquaint the owner/operator
of a new vehicle with the various ve-
hicle controls, maintenance and safe
operating instructions. They are indis-
pensable for the proper use of the
product.

We would be pleased to receive any
comments on the content and format
of this Operator's Guide, the

SAFETY

VIDEO

or on-product warnings labels.
