WARNING
Indicates a potential hazard that could result in a serious injury or death.
Sound Judgment
Trail Riding
Use sound judgment when trail riding; that means riding on a trail
that fits your ability level. If the trail is pretty rugged, standing up on
your footrests will make it easier for you to endure the rough terrain.
Make yourself visible by using headlights and taillight and pull com-
pletely off the trail if you need to stop.
Outsloped trails (trails that slant to allow rain to run off) make trail
riding a bit more challenging. Accepting that challenge means keep-
ing your weight shifted into the slope. Denying the challenge means
sliding off the trail.
It also helps to know which trails you can ride and who else might be
on those same trails. These are signs currently used in some areas to
designate trail types and restrictions.
ATV-0068
The last thing you expected was that your ATV would break down in
the middle of the field... it’s usually so reliable that sometimes you
forget the ATV has its limits.
ATV Maintenance
You have to maintain your ATV. The General Maintenance section of
this Operator’s Manual tells you about taking care of your ATV. If, at
any time, abnormal noises, vibrations, or improper functioning of any
component of this ATV is detected, DO NOT OPERATE THE ATV.
Take the ATV to an authorized Arctic Cat ATV dealer for inspection
and adjustment or repair.
A safe, enjoyable ride is dependent on many personal choices. An
ATV, like all motorized vehicles, can be dangerous to operate if you
choose to ignore safety precautions, take unnecessary chances, or ride
beyond your ability or your vehicle’s capability. Don’t allow the thrill
of freedom or adventure to affect your ability to make good, safe
choices.
Your Physical Condition
Being physically exhausted is like being
drunk. Try to do something that’s detail-
oriented when you’re really tired, and
you’ll feel totally uncoordinated.
Reckless Riding
If you are involved in an ATV accident when you’re speeding, you
have a 25% chance of landing yourself in the hospital. The faster you
go, the more likely you are to destroy your head and internal organs,
and skip the wheelies, jumps, stunts, and any other showboating.
