FRAME, SUBFRAME, SWINGARM
Regular Inspection
The aluminum chassis components of your ATV have a
finite, limited useful life. The length of that life varies
depending on the material used in their manufacture, the
amount of use they are subjected to and the care they
receive while in service. Regular inspection by a
Cannondale motorsports dealer is important.
•
Frame - a main support structure for the engine,
various components, and rider.
•
Subframe - adds structural support.
•
Swingarm - a suspension component
•
Brush guard - mounted on the front of the ATV
Use in competitive events, hard and aggressive riding,
riding on severe terrain, riding in severe climates and riding
fast can dramatically shorten the life of the aluminum
(frame) components. Any one and/or a combination of
these conditions may result in an unpredictable failure.
We recommend that you carefully inspect your ATV’s
chassis components for cracking, bending, deep scratches
and/or other damage before every ride.
If you have crashed or rolled your ATV, there could be
damage hidden from your view. DO NOT ride an ATV with
any crack, even a small one. It must be carefully inspected
by an authorized Cannondale motorsports dealer before it
is used again.
Riding a cracked frame could lead to complete frame
failure. If you have any questions contact your Cannondale
dealer or call 1-800-MOTO-USA.
WARNING
POTENTIAL HAZARD(S)
(1) Operating with a bent, corroded/rusted, cracked,
dented, or damaged frame, subframe, swingarm or
other aluminum component.
(2) Attempting to repair the frame, subframe, or
swingarm on this ATV.
WHAT CAN HAPPEN
(1) Riding on a damaged frame can lead to a
complete frame failure.
(2) Aluminum frame (and components) are heat
treated. Welding, drilling, or modifying the frame,
subframe, or swingarm may weaken the component
and result in complete failure leading to a serious
accident with subsequent injury or death.
HOW TO AVOID THE HAZARD
(1 & 2) Contact an authorized Cannondale
motorsports dealer for servicing if either the frame,
subframe, or swingarm is damaged; never try to
repair the frame, subframe, swingarm, or other
components.
