WARNING

Indicates a hazardous situation which, if not avoided, could result in death or serious injury.

! WARNING

POTENTIAL HAZARD

Operating on steep hills.

WHAT CAN HAPPEN

The ATV can overturn more easily on
steep hills than on level surfaces or
small hills.

HOW TO AVOID THE 

HAZARD

Never operate the ATV on hills too steep
for the ATV or for your abilities.
Practice on smaller hills before attempting larger hills.

! WARNING

POTENTIAL HAZARD

Overloading the ATV or carrying or towing cargo improperly.

WHAT CAN HAPPEN

Could cause changes in ATV handling, which could lead to an acci-
dent.

HOW TO AVOID THE HAZARD

Never exceed the stated load capacity for the ATV.
Cargo should be properly distributed and securely attached.
Reduce speed when carrying cargo or pulling a trailer. Allow greater dis-
tance for braking.
Always follow the instructions in this Operator’s Manual for carrying cargo
or pulling a trailer.

! WARNING

POTENTIAL HAZARD

Improperly crossing hills or turning on hills.

WHAT CAN HAPPEN

Could cause loss of control or cause the
ATV to overturn.

HOW TO AVOID THE 

HAZARD

Avoid crossing the side of a hill or turning on
a hill whenever possible. Never attempt to turn the ATV around on any
hill until you have mastered the turning technique as described in this
Operator’s Manual. Practice first on level ground. Be very careful when
turning on any hill.

If crossing the side of a hill or turning on a hill is unavoidable:

Always follow proper procedures as described in this Operator’s Man-
ual.
Avoid hills with slippery or loose surfaces.
Shift your weight to the uphill side of the ATV.

! WARNING

POTENTIAL HAZARD

Attempting wheelies, jumps, and other
stunts.

WHAT CAN HAPPEN

Increases the chance of an accident
including a rollover.

HOW TO AVOID THE 

HAZARD

Never attempt stunts, such as wheelies
or jumps. Don’t try to show off.
