regulations and categories of the top international motorsport organizations.

Info
The ATV must be used only on secluded property remote from public road traffic.
The ATV is designed for off-road sport endurance competition (Enduro) and not for the predominant motocross use.
Maintenance
A prerequisite for perfect operation and prevention of wear is that the engine and chassis maintenance and adjustment work described in
the owner's manual are properly carried out. Poor adjustment and tuning of the engine and chassis can lead to damage and breakage of
components.
Using the vehicle in extreme conditions such as very muddy or wet terrain can lead to above-average wear of components such as the
transmission train or the brakes. For this reason, it may be necessary to service or replace worn parts before the limit specified in the
service schedule is reached.
Pay careful attention to the prescribed running-in period, inspection and maintenance intervals. If you observe these exactly, you will
ensure a much longer service life for your vehicle.
Fuel, oils, etc.
You should use the fuels, oils and greases according to specifications as listed in the owner's manual.
