RIDING THE VEHICLE
To fully appreciate the pleasures and
excitement of riding this vehicle, there
are some basic rules and tips that you
MUST follow. Some may be new to
you while others may be common
sense or obvious. Nonetheless, we
ask that you take a few minutes to
read this Operator's Guide completely
before you operate this vehicle.
Information in this Operator's Guide
is limited. It is strongly recommend-
ed that you obtain further information
and training from your local authori-
ties, ATV clubs or a recognized ATV
training organization.
BRP does not recommend that any-
one under the age of 16 drive this ve-
hicle. On 2-UP models, the passenger
should be 12 years old or more and
must be capable of keeping his feet
on the footrests and his hands on the
grab handles at all times when seat-
ed. For the child's safety, we strong-
ly recommend you also follow and en-
force this recommendation. You are
the sole judge of a rider's capability to
understand the risks and operate a ve-
hicle safely.
Persons with cognitive or physical im-
pairments or who are high risk takers
have an increased exposure to over-
turns or collisions which may result in
injury including death.
Become completely familiar with the
operational controls and the general
operation of the vehicle before ven-
turing into off road conditions. Prac-
tice driving in a suitable area free of
hazards and feel the response of each
control. Drive at low speeds. High-
er speeds require greater experience,
knowledge and suitable riding condi-
tions.
When riding with a 2-UP model, the
vehicle handling, stability and braking
distance will be affected when rid-
ing with a passenger. Safely reduce
speed when riding with a passenger.
Allow greater distance for braking.
Not all vehicles are the same. Each
has its own unique performance char-
acteristics,
controls
and
features.
Each will ride and handle differently.
Never assume that the vehicle will go
everywhere safely. Sudden changes
in terrain caused by holes, depres-
sions, banks, softer or harder "ground"
or other irregularities may cause the
vehicle to topple or become unstable.
To avoid this, slow down and always
observe the terrain ahead. If the vehi-
cle does begin to topple or tipover, it is
usually the best advice to immediately
get off... AWAY from the direction of
the tipover!
