Safety
• Always check for obstacles before oper-
ating in a new area. Never attempt to
operate over large obstacles, such as
rocks or fallen trees. Always follow
proper procedures when operating over
obstacles as described in this manual.
• Avoid operating the ATV through deep or
fast flowing water. If you cannot avoid
water which exceeds the recommended
maximum depth (see page 106), go
slowly, balance your weight carefully
avoiding sudden movements, maintain a
slow and steady forward motion, do not
make sudden turns or stops, and do not
make sudden throttle changes.
• Wet brakes may have reduced stopping
ability. Test your brakes after leaving
water. If necessary apply them lightly
several times to let friction dry out the
pads.
• Always use the size and type of tires
specified in this manual. Always maintain
proper tire pressure as described in this
manual.
• Never modify an ATV through improper
installation or use of accessories.
• Never exceed the stated load capacity for
an ATV.
• Always remove the ignition key when the
vehicle is not in use to prevent unautho-
rized use or accidental starting.
