WARNING
Indicates a potential hazard that could result in a serious injury or death.
Sound Judgment
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.
Cargo Limitations
One reason why passengers are prohib-
ited on this ATV is because their pres-
ence throws off the weight and balance
of the ATV. Cargo can do the same.
Limit the ATV to the specified load
capacity rating. The combined weight limit, including you and your
personal items, is a specified amount, so consult the ATV Load
Capacity Ratings Chart and monitor it carefully.
Extra weight on the ATV will also throw you off balance if it’s not
distributed evenly.

Think about these when
dealing with weight:
1. Weight distribution
