Rider Safety

• Always check for obstacles or people behind the ATV before operat-

ing in reverse. Be aware that a passenger can obstruct your view.
When it's safe to proceed in reverse, move slowly and avoid turning at
sharp angles.

• Always use the size and type of tires specified for your ATV, and

always maintain proper tire pressure.

• Never modify an ATV through improper installation or use of acces-

sories.

• Never exceed the stated load capacity for your ATV. Cargo must be

properly distributed and securely attached. Reduce speed and follow
the instructions in this manual for carrying cargo or towing. Allow a
greater distance for braking.
