other vehicles including motorcycles and cars. A collision or rollover can occur quickly, even during
routine maneuvers such as turning and riding on hills or over obstacles, if you fail to take proper pre-
cautions.
SEVERE INJURY OR DEATH can result if you do not follow these instructions:

Read this manual and all labels carefully and follow the operating procedures described.

should receive training from a certified instructor. Contact an authorized ATV dealer or call
1-800-887-2887 to find out about the training courses nearest you.

- A child under 12 years old should never operate an ATV with engine size greater than 70cc.

Never allow a child under age 16 to operate an ATV without adult supervision, and never allow con-
tinued use of an ATV by a child if he or she does not have the abilities to operate it safely.
