INTRODUCTION

Your dealer should have provided you with some basic information on the particular controls and features of your new vehicle. Please take the time to study this Operator's Guide and all on-product warning labels as well as the SAFETY VIDEOCASSETTE that came with this vehicle. They more completely describe what you should know about this vehicle before riding it. Whether you are a new user or an experienced rider, it is important for your personal safetythat you know the controls and features of this vehicle. Equally important is knowing how to properly ride.
Irrespective of your age, experience or state regulations, it is always prudent for you or any other person who may ride your vehicle, to take an approved safe riding course. Please check with your dealer orlocal authorities for avail­ability in your area. If you are a com­pletely new rider, this should be done before your first ride. Your instructor should be able to provide advice on lo­cal conditions and safe riding practices particular to the area.
Riding conditions vary from place to place. Each is subject to weather conditions which may radically change from time to time and from season to season. Riding on sand is different than riding on snow or through forests or marshes. Each location may re­quire a greater degree of awareness and skill. Show good judgement. Al­ways proceed with caution. Please do not take any unnecessary risks that could leave you stranded or possibly injured.
The contents of this Operator's Guide provide riding information which has been proven reliable by other users. They are not intended as a definitive means of avoiding accidents. How you apply this information, coupled with your mental and physical condi­tion, the particular terrain hazard and your risk acceptance level will have an effect on your riding experience. Have fun... and ride responsibly.
This Operator's Guide has been pre­pared to acquaint the owner/operator of a new vehicle with the various ve­hicle controls, maintenance and safe operating instructions. They are indis­pensable for the proper use of the product.

SAFETY WARNING

To fully appreciate the pleasures and excitement of riding this vehicle, there are some basic rules and tips that you should follow. Some may be new to you while others may be common sense or obvious. Irrespective, we ask that you take a few minutes to read this Operator's Guide completely before you operate this vehicle.
Information in this Operator's Guide is limited. It is strongly recommend­ed that you obtain further information and training from your local authori­ties, ATV clubs or a recognized ATV training organization such as Specialty Vehicle Institute of America (SVIA) or the Canada Safety Council.
The U.S. Consumer Product Safety Commission and all ATV manufac­turers do not recommended anyone under the age of 16 to ride an ATV having an engine higher than 90 cc. For the child's safety, we strongly recommend you also follow and en­force this recommendation. You are the sole judge of a rider's capability to understand the risks and operate a vehicle safely.
Persons with cognitive or physical im­pairments or who are high risk takers have an increased exposure to over­turns or collisions which may result in injury including death.
Become completely familiar with the operational controls and the general operation of the vehicle before ven­turing into off road conditions. Prac­tice driving in a suitable area free of hazards and feel the response of each control. Drive at low speeds. High­er speeds require greater experience, knowledge and suitable riding condi­tions.
Not all vehicles are the same. Each has its own unique performance char­acteristics, controls and features. Each will ride and handle differently.
Never assume that the vehicle will go everywhere safely. Sudden changes in terrain caused by holes, depres­sions, banks, softer or harder "ground" or other irregularities may cause the vehicle to topple or become unstable. To avoid this, slow down and always observe the terrain ahead. If the vehi­cle does begin to topple or tipover, it is usually the best advice to immediately get off... AWAY from the direction of the tipover!

Pre-Operation Check
WARNING
The pre-operation check is very important prior to operating the vehicle. Always check the prop­er operation of critical controls, safety features and mechanical components before starting. If not done, severe injury or death might occur.
Before using this vehicle, the operator should always:
• Apply parking brake and check if it operates properly.
• Check tire pressure and condition.
• Check wheels and bearings for
wear and damage.
• Check location of controls and en­sure they work properly.
• Verify if steering operates freely.
• Activate throttle control lever sever-
al times to ensure it operates freely. It must return to idle position when released.
• Activate the brake levers and brake pedal to make sure the brakes fully apply. Levers and pedal must fully return when released.
• Ensure transmission lever is work­ing then reset in PARK position.
• Check fuel, oil and coolant levels.
• Check for oil leaks on the en-
gine/transmission and drive train components.
• Ensure fuel valve is in fully open position (ON).
• Clean headlamps and taillight.
• Ensure front access compartment
cover and rear storage cover com­partment are properly latched.
• Ensure seat is properly latched.
• If you transport cargo, respect load
capacity. Ensure cargo is properly secured to the racks.
• If you are pulling a trailer or other equipment, ensure it respects the tongue capacity and towing capac­ity. Ensure trailer is properly se­cured to hitch.
• Look and feel for loose parts while engine is off. Check fasteners.
• Ensure the path of travel is free of persons and obstacles.
• Check operation of ignition switch, start button, engine stop switch, headlamps, taillight and indicator lights.
• Start engine, remove parking brake and drive forward slowly a few feet then apply all brakes individually to test them.
• Check operation of 2WD/4WD se­lector.
Correct any problem you may have found before riding. See an autho­rized Bombardier ATV dealer as nec­essary.

Clothing
Actual weather conditions should help you decide how to dress. However, it is important that the operator always wear the appropriate protective clothing and apparel, including an approved helmet, eye protection, boots, gloves, long sleeved shirt and pants. This type of clothing will provide you protection from some of the minor hazards you may encounter en route. Operator must nev­er wear loose clothing such as a scarf that may get entangled in the vehicle or on tree branches and shrubs. Depending on conditions, antifogging goggles or sunglasses may be required. Different colored lenses available for goggles or sunglasses help you distinguish terrain variations. Sunglasses should only be worn during the daytime.

Carrying Loads
Any load carried on the vehicle's carrying rack(s) will affect the stability and con­trol of the vehicle. For this reason, do not exceed the load limits of the vehicle's manufacturer. Always make sure the load is secured and cannot interfere with your proper control. Always be aware that the "load" may slide or fall off and create an accident. Avoid loads that may protrude sideways and get snagged or caught in brush or other obstacles. Avoid covering and obstructing the headlamp or taillight with the cargo.
This vehicle is designed specifically to carry an operator only. Even with a long seat that provide unrestricted operator movements, they are not designed nor intended to carry passenger(s). Do not install passenger seat or use the racks or their location tocarry passenger(s). Carrying passenger(s) may affectthe stability and your control of the vehicle.
Hauling a Trailer
Riding this vehicle with a trailer substantially increases the risk of toppling, espe­cially on inclined slopes. If a trailer is used behind the vehicle make sure that its hitch is compatible with the one on the vehicle. Make sure the trailer is horizontal with the vehicle. (In some instances a special extension may have to be installed on the vehicle hitch). Use security chains to secure the trailer with the vehicle. This vehicle may require additional stopping distance if hauling heavy loads, es­pecially on inclined surfaces. Be careful not to skid or slide. When stopped or parked, block the vehicle and trailer wheels from possible movement. Always make sure load is evenly distributed on the trailer. Use caution when disconnect­ing a loaded trailer; it or its load may topple on you or others. Do not turn at high speeds.
Working with your Vehicle
Your vehicle can help you perform a number of different LIGHT tasks ranging from snow removal to pulling wood or carrying cargo. A variety of accessories are available from your authorized Bombardier ATV dealer. However, always re­spect the load and capacities of the vehicle. Overloading of the vehicle can over­stress the components and cause failure. To prevent possible injury, it is equally important to follow the instructions and warnings that accompany the accessory. Avoid any physical exertion through lifting or pulling of heavy loads or manpow­ering the vehicle. (Continue to read RECREATIONAL RIDING below).
Recreational Riding
Respect the rights and limitations of others. Stay away from areas designated for other types of off road use. This includes snowmobile trails, equestrian trails, cross country ski trails, mountain bike trails etc. Never assume there are no other users on the trail. Always stay to the complete right of the trail and do not zig zag to one side of the trail then the other. Be prepared to stop or pull off to the side if another trail user appears in front of you.
Join a local ATV club. They will provide you with a map and advice or inform you where you can ride. If a club does not exist in your area, help start one. Group riding and club activities provide a pleasurable, social experience.

Page 46
Always keep a safe distance from other riders. Your judgment of speed, ter­rain conditions, weather, mechanical condition of your vehicle and the "trust in judgment" you have in others around you will help you make a better choice of appropriate safe distance. This vehicle, like any other motorized vehicle, cannot stop "on a dime".
Before you ride, tell someone where you are planning to travel and your expected time of return. Never consume alcohol or drugs before or while riding!
Depending on the length of your ride, carry additional tools or emergency equip­ment. Find out where you can get additional gasoline and oil. Be prepared for the possible conditions you may encounter. An emergency first aid kit should always be a consideration.
Environment
One of the benefits of this vehicle is that it can take you off the beaten path away from most communities. However, you should always respect nature and the rights of others to enjoy it. Do not ride in environmentally sensitive areas. Do not drive over forest crops or shrubs... nor cut down trees or take down fencing... nor spin your wheels and destroy the terrain. “Tread Lightly”.
Chasing wildlife is in many areas illegal. Wildlife can die of exhaustion after being chased by a motorized vehicle. If you encounter animals on the trail, stop and observe quietly and with caution. It will be one of the better memories of your life.
Observe the rule... “what you take in, carry out”. Do not litter. Do not start campfires unless you have permission to do so... and then only ... away from dry areas. The hazards you may create on the trail may cause injury to others or yourself, even at a later date.
Respect farm lands. Always obtain thepermission of the landowner before riding on private land. Respect crops, farm animals and property lines. If you come to a closed a gate, close it again after yourself.
Finally, do not pollute streams, lakes or rivers and do not modify the engine or muffling system, or remove any of its components.
Design Limitation
Although the vehicle is exceptionally rugged for its class, it is still a light vehicle by definition and its operation must be restricted to its proper purpose.
The addition of weight to any part of the vehicle changes its gravitational stability and modifies its performance.
Off-Highway Operation
The very nature of off-highway operation is dangerous. Any terrain, which has not been specially prepared to carry vehicles, presents an inherent danger where angularity, terrain substance and exact steepness are unpredictable. The terrain itself presents a continual element of danger, which must be knowingly accepted by anyone venturing over it.
___________

SAFETY INFORMATION
___________
Page 47
An operator who takes a vehicle off-road should always exercise the utmost care in selecting the safest path and keeping close watch on the terrain ahead of him. On no account should the vehicle be operated by anyone who is not completely familiar with the driving instructions applicable to the vehicle, nor should it be operated on steep or treacherous terrain.
General Operating and Safety Precautions
Care, caution, experience and driving skill are the best precautions against the hazards of vehicle operation.
Whenever there is the slightest doubt that the vehicle can safely negotiate an obstacle or a particular piece of terrain, always choose an alternate route.
In off-road operation, power and traction, not speed, are important. Never drive faster than visibility and your own ability to select a safe route permit.
Constantly watch the terrain ahead for sudden changes in slopes or obstacles, such as rocks or stumps, that may cause loss of stability, resulting in tipover or rollover.
Never operate the vehicle if the controls do not function normally. When operating in reverse, check that the path behind the vehicle is free of peo-
ple or obstacles. Proceed slowly and avoid sharp turns When stopped or parked, always apply the parking brake. This is especially im-
portant when parking on a slope. On very steep inclines or if the vehicle is car­rying cargo, the wheels should be blocked using rocks or bricks. Remember to turn the fuel valve to the closed position.
Uphill Driving
Due to configuration, this vehicle has excellent climbing ability, so much so that tipover is possible before traction is lost. For example, its common to encounter terrain situations where the top of the hill has eroded to a point that the hill peak rises very sharply. The vehicle can readily negotiate such a condition, however, in doing so, when the front of the vehicle is driven to a point that the vehicle's balance changes rearward tipover can occur.
The same situation may apply if an embedded object causes the front of the vehicle to climb more than desired. If such a situation occurs take an alternate route. Be aware of side hilling dangers when doing so.
It is also wise to know the terrain condition on theother side of the hill or bank. All too often there exists a sharp drop-off that is impossible to negotiate or descend.
Downhill Driving
This vehicle can climb slopes that are steeper than it can safely descend. There­fore, it is essential to assure that a safe route exists to descend a slope before you climb it.
Decelerating while negotiating a slippery downhill slope could "toboggan" the ve­hicle. Maintain steady speed and/or accelerate slightly to regain control.
____________
SAFETY INFORMATION
___________
47
Page 48
Side Hilling
Whenever possible, such operation should be avoided. If necessary, do so with extreme caution. Side hilling on steep inclines could result in rollover. In addi­tion, slippery or unfirm surfaces could result in uncontrollable side sliding. Do not attempt to turn the vehicle downhill with the slide. Avoid all objects or de­pressions that will intensify the raising of one side of the vehicle higher than the other, thus causing rollover.
Drop-Offs
This vehicle will "bottom-out" and usually stop if either the front or rear wheels are driven over a drop-off. If the drop is sharp or deep, the vehicle will nose dive and tipover.
WARNING
Avoid negotiating drop-offs. Reverse and select an alternate route.
Riding Techniques
Riding your vehicle too fast for the conditions may result in injury. Apply only enough throttle to proceed safely. Statistics show that high speed turns usually result in mishaps and injury. Always remember that this vehicle is heavy! Its pure weight alone may entrap you should it fall and pin you down.
This vehicle is not designed for jumping nor can it, or you, absorb the energy of high impacts such as jumping. Performing "wheelies" can cause the vehicle to flip over onto you. Both practices have a high risk for you and should be avoided at all times.
To maintain proper control it is strongly advised that you keep your hands on the handlebar and within easy reach of all controls. The same holds true for your feet. To minimize the possibility of any leg or foot injury, keep your feet on the footrests at all times. Do not direct your toes outwards nor place your foot out to assist turning as they can be hit or snagged by passing obstacles or may contact the wheels.

Page 49
V00A0UL
Even though there is an adequate suspensions system on this vehicle there are "washboard" or rough terrain conditions that will make you feel uncomfortable and even cause back injury. "Posting" or riding in a crouched position will often be required. Slow down and allow your flexed legs to absorb impact.
This vehicle is not designed for riding on roads or highways. In most places it is an illegal practice. Riding your vehicle on roads or highways could cause a colli­sion to occur with another vehicle. ATV tires are not suited for paved road use. Pavement may seriously affect the handling and control of the vehicle. Riding on roads or soft shoulders may confuse other road users, especially if your lights are on. If you have to cross a road, the lead driver should get off his vehicle then ob­serve and give directions to the other riders. The last person after crossing then assists the lead driver to cross. Do not travel sidewalks. They are designated for pedestrian use.
Water can be a unique hazard. If it is too deep the vehicle may "float" and topple. Check the water depth and current before you attempt tocross any water. Water should not go above the footrest. Be wary of slippery surfaces such as rocks, grass, logs, etc., both in the water and on its banks. A loss of traction may occur. Do not attempt to enter the water at high speed. The water will act as a brake and could throw you.
____________
SAFETY INFORMATION
___________
49
Page 50
V00A0VL
Water will affect the braking ability of yourvehicle. Make sure you dry the brakes by applying them several times after the vehicle leaves the water.
Mud or marsh lands may be encountered near water. Be prepared for sudden "holes" or changes in depth. Similarly so, be watchful of hazards such as rocks, logs, etc., partially covered by vegetation.
If your trip crosses frozen waterways, make sure that the ice is thick enough and sound enough to support the total weight of yourself, the vehicle and its load. Be ever watchful of open water... it is a sure indication that the ice thickness will vary. If in doubt, do not attempt to cross.
Ice will also affect the control of vehicle. Slow down and do not "gun" the throttle. This will only result in spinning of the tires and possible tipover of the vehicle. Avoid rapid braking. This again will possibly result in an uncontrolled slide and tipover of the vehicle. Slush should be avoided at all times since it could block the operation or controls of the vehicle
Sand and riding on sand dunes or on snow is another unique experience but there are some basic precautions that should be observed. Wet, deep or fine sand/snow may create a loss of traction and cause the vehicle to slide, drop off or become "bogged" down. If this occurs look for a firmer base. Again, the best advice is to slow down and be watchful of the conditions.
___________

SAFETY INFORMATION

Page 51
When riding in sand dunes it is advisable to equip the vehicle with an antenna type safety flag. This will help make your location more visible to others over the next sand dune. Proceed carefully should you see another safety flag ahead. Since the antenna type safety flag can snag and rebound on your body if caught, do not use it in areas where there are low hanging branches or obstacles.
Riding on loose stones or gravel is very similar to riding on ice. They will affect the steering of vehicle... possibly causing it to slide and tipover especially at high speeds. In addition, braking distance may be a effected. Remember that "gunning" the throttle or sliding may cause loose stones to be ejected rearwards into the path of another rider's way. Never do it deliberately.
V00A0WL
If you do get into a slide or skid, it may help to turn the handlebar into the direction of the skid until you regain control. Never jam the brakes and lock the wheels.
Respect and follow all posted trail signs. They are there to help you and others. Obstacles in the "trail" should be traversed with caution. This includes loose
rocks, fallen trees, slippery surfaces, fences, posts, and embankments and de­pressions. You should avoid them whenever possible. Remember that some obstacles are too large or dangerous to cross and should be avoided. Small rocks or fallen trees may be safely crossed... approach at a 90° angle. Stand on the footrests while keeping your knees flexed. Adjust speed without losing momen­tum and do not "gun" the throttle. Hold handgrips firmly. Place your body weight rearwards and proceed. Do not try to lift the vehicle front wheels off the ground. Be aware that the object may be slippery or may move while crossing.
When driving on hills or slopes two things are highly important... be prepared for slippery surfaces or terrain variations and obstacles and... use proper body positioning.

Uphill
Keep your body weight forward towards the top of the hill. Keep your feet on the footpegs and shift into low gear then accelerate and when necessary, change gear quickly as you climb. Do not over-speed since this may cause the front of the vehicle to lift from the ground and fall back on you. If the hill is too steep and you cannot proceed or the vehicle begins to roll backwards, apply the brake, being careful not to slide. Dismount then use the "U" turn or "K" turn (while walking back, next to the vehicle on the up hill side and with a hand on the brake lever, slowly back the rear of the vehicle toward the top of the hill then drive downhill). Always walk or dismount on the upside of the slope while keeping clear of the vehicle and its rotating wheels. Do not try to hold on to the vehicle if it begins to topple. Stay clear. Do not ride over the crest of the hill at high speed. Obstacles, including sharp drop-offs, may exist.

Routine Maintenance
Once yourride completed, itis wise to remove any build up of snow, ice, mud and grime. Not only will this help you keep your vehicle longer and in good condition for resale but will eliminate potential hazards the next time you use the vehicle. Wash your vehicle in warm soapy water then allow it to dry. (A towel may help). Do not wash your vehicle outside during freezing weather. Apply appropriate lubrication as described in the MAINTENANCE section.
Part of your responsibility towards safety is to respect the contents of this Op­erator's Guide. It provides valuable advice on how to properly take care of your vehicle. If further assistance is required your authorized Bombardier ATV dealer is always willing to help.
Modification of the vehicle to increase speed and performance may violate the terms and conditions of your vehicle limited warranty. In addition, certain modifi­cations including the removal of engine or exhaust components are illegal under most laws.
Changing the wheel and/or tire size may affect the stability of the vehicle. Incor­rect tire pressure may lead to blow outs or cause a tire to move around on its rim and become lost or damaged. Wheels or tires which are damaged should always be replaced.

CARGO AND TRANSPORTATION

While reading this Operator’s Guide, remember that:
WARNING
Indicates a potential hazard that, if not avoided, could result in serious in­jury or death.
Cargo
WARNING
The vehicle handling, stability and braking distance are affected when load­ing racks and using the vehicle. Correct loading and weight distribution are therefore important. Never overload, tow or carry cargo improperly. Al­ways ensure the cargo is safely secured and properly distributed on each rack and between front and rear racks before operating the vehicle. Safe­ly reduce speed according to terrain conditions when carrying cargo or pulling a trailer. Allow greater distance for breaking. Always secure cargo as low as possible on the rack(s) to reduce the effect of a higher center of gravity. Failure to follow the recommendations here could cause changes in vehicle handling which could lead to an accident resulting in severe in­juries including the possibility of death.
When car going vehicle, respect these maximum loads.
MAXIMUM LOADS
Total load allowed 235kg(517lb)
Front load 45 kg (100 lb) Evenly distributed.
Rear load 90 kg (200 lb)
Includes driver, all other loads and added accessories.
Evenly distributed. Includes rear rack, rear storage box and tongue load.
