PRE-RIDE INSPECTION
We encourage you to have an Annual Safety Inspection of your vehicle. Please
contact an authorized BRP dealer for further details. Though not required, it is
recommended that an authorized BRP dealer performs the preseason preparation
of your vehicle. Each visit to your authorized BRP dealer is a great opportunity for
your dealer to verify if your vehicle is included in any safety campaign. We also
urge you to visit your authorized BRP dealer in a timely manner if you become
aware of any safety related campaigns.
WARNING
Perform a pre-ride inspection before each ride to detect potential problems
during operation. The pre-ride inspection can help you monitor wear and
deterioration before they become a problem. Correct any problems that
you discover to reduce the risk of a breakdown or crash.
Before performing the pre-ride inspection, read and understand the
CONTROLS
section.
