upset or accident. Be sure to keep your feet
firmly mounted on the footboards at all times.
Avoid jumping the ATV as loss of control and
damage to the ATV may result.

sion. Could cause the ATV to overturn. 
HOW TO AVOID THE HAZARD 
Before operating in a new area, check
for obstacles. 
Never attempt to ride over large obsta-
cles, such as large rocks or fallen trees.
When you go over obstacles, always fol-
low proper procedures as described in
the Owner’s Manual.
