WARNING
Indicates a hazardous situation which, if not avoided, could result in death or serious injury.
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.
Keep your weight shifted into the slope.
It also helps to know which trails you can legally 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 free-
dom or adventure to affect your ability to make good, safe choices.
Your Physical Condition
Your physical condition is critical to safe
ATV operation. Don’t ride when extremely
tired and consider your health when plan-
ning longer rides.
Reckless Riding
Where excessive or high speed is a factor, the potential for personal
injury is greatly increased. Ride within reason and your skill level.
Avoid maneuvers that are reckless. Don’t show off.
