DIVISION I - SAFETY
AN ATV IS NOT A TOY AND CAN
BE HAZARDOUS TO OPERATE.
• Always go slowly and be extra careful
when operating on unfamiliar terrain.
Always be alert to changing terrain
conditions when operating the ATV.
• Never operate on excessively rough,
slippery, or loose terrain.
• Always follow proper procedures for
turning as described in this manual.
Practice turning at slow speeds before
attempting to turn at faster speeds. Do
not turn at excessive speed.
• Always have the ATV checked by an
authorized Arctic Cat ATV dealer if it
has been involved in an accident.
• Never operate the ATV on hills too
steep for the ATV or for your abilities.
Practice on smaller hills before
attempting larger hills.
• Always follow proper procedures for
climbing hills as described in this man-
ual. Check the terrain carefully before
you start up any hill. Never climb hills
with slippery or loose surfaces. Shift
your weight forward. Never open the
throttle suddenly or make sudden gear
changes. Never go over the top of any
hill at high speed.
• Always follow proper procedures for
going down hills and for braking on hills
as described in this manual. Check the
terrain carefully before you start down
any hill. Shift your weight backward.
Never go down a hill at high speed.
Avoid going down a hill at an angle
which would cause the ATV to lean
sharply to one side. Go straight down
the hill where possible.
• Always follow proper procedures for
crossing the side of a hill as described
in this manual. Avoid hills with slippery
or loose surfaces. Shift your weight to
the uphill side of the ATV. Never
attempt to turn the ATV around on any
hill until you have mastered the turning
techniques described in this manual on
level ground. Avoid crossing the side of
a steep hill if possible.
• Always use proper procedures if you
stall or roll backward when climbing a
hill. To avoid stalling, maintain a steady
speed when climbing a hill. If you stall
or roll backwards, follow the special
procedure for braking described in this
manual. Dismount on the uphill side or
to either side if pointed straight uphill.
Turn the ATV around and mount follow-
ing the procedure described in this
manual.
• Always check for obstacles before
operating in a new area. Never attempt
to operate over large obstacles, such
as large rocks or fallen trees. Always
follow proper procedures when operat-
ing over obstacles as described in this
manual.
• Always be careful of skidding or slid-
ing. On slippery surfaces, such as ice,
go slowly and be very cautious in order
to reduce the chance of skidding or
sliding out of control.
• Never operate an ATV in fast flowing
water or in water deeper than the foot-
rests. Remember that wet brakes may
have reduced stopping capability. Test
your brakes after leaving water. If nec-
essary, apply them lightly several times
to let friction dry out the pads.
• Always be sure there are no obstacles
or people behind you when you oper-
ate in reverse. When it is safe to pro-
ceed in reverse, go slowly. Avoid
turning at sharp angles in reverse.
• Always use the size and type tires
specified in this manual. Always main-
tain proper tire pressure as described
in this manual.
• Never improperly install or improperly
use accessories on this ATV.
• Never install a twist grip throttle on this
ATV.
• Never exceed the stated load capacity
for an ATV. Cargo should be properly
distributed and securely attached.
Reduce speed and follow instructions
in this manual for carrying cargo or
pulling a trailer and allow greater dis-
tance for braking.
