OPERATING ON PAVEMENT
This vehicle's tires are designed for off-road use only, not for use on pavement.
Operating this vehicle on paved surfaces (including sidewalks, paths, parking
lots and driveways) may adversely affect the handling of the vehicle and may
increase the risk of loss of control and accident or rollover. Avoid operating the
vehicle on pavement. If it's unavoidable, travel slowly, travel short distances and
avoid sudden turns or stops.
OPERATING ON PUBLIC ROADS
Operating this vehicle on public streets, roads or highways could result in a
collision with another vehicle. Never operate this vehicle on any public street,
road or highway, including dirt and gravel roads (unless designated for off-
highway use).
OPERATING AT EXCESSIVE SPEEDS
Operating this vehicle at excessive speeds increases the operator's risk of
losing control. Always operate at a speed that's appropriate for the terrain, the
visibility and operating conditions and your skills and experience.
PHYSICAL CONTROL OF THE VEHICLE
Removing even one hand or foot can reduce ability to control the vehicle or
could cause loss of balance and ejection from the ATV.
If a person's feet are not firmly planted on the footrests, they could come into
contact with the wheels or other moving parts and lead to accident or injury.
Always keep both hands on the handlebars and both feet on the footrests of the
ATV during operation.
TURNING IMPROPERLY
Turning improperly could cause loss of traction, loss of control, accident or
rollover. Always follow proper procedures for turning as described in this owner’s
manual.
Avoid sharp turns. Never turn while applying heavy throttle. Never make abrupt
steering maneuvers. Practice turning at slow speeds before attempting to turn at
faster speeds.
