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 onproduct 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 safety that
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 or local 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.

Page 14
Always go slowly and be extra careful when operating on unfamiliar terrain. Always be alert
to changing terrain conditions when operating this vehicle. Always keep in mind that you are
carrying a passenger.
Never operate on excessively rough, slippery or loose terrain until you have learned and
practiced the skills necessary to control this vehicle on such terrain. Always be especially
cautious on these kinds of terrain. Always keep in mind that you are carrying a passenger.
Always follow proper procedures for turning as described further in this Operator's Guide.
Practice turning at low speeds before attempting to turn at faster speeds. Do not turn at
excessive speed. Carrying a passenger may affect the stability and the handling of the
vehicle.
Never operate this vehicle on hills too steep for the vehicle or for your abilities. Do not forget,
the operator is responsible for the safety of the passenger. In doubt, disembark him before
climbing hill. Always remember that the vehicle handling, stability and braking distance may
be affected when riding with a passenger.
Always follow proper procedures for climbing hills as described further in this Operator's
Guide. Check the terrain carefully before you start up any hill. Never climb hills with excessively slippery or loose surfaces. Shift operator and passenger weight forward. Never open
the throttle suddenly or make sudden gear changes. Never go over the top of any hill at high
speed. Always keep in mind that you are carrying a passenger.
Always follow proper procedures for going down hills and for braking on hills as described
further in this Operator's Guide. Check the terrain carefully before you start down any hill.
Shift operator and passenger weight backward. Never go down a hill at high speed. Avoid
going down a hill at an angle that would cause the vehicle to lean sharply to one side. Go
straight down the hill where possible. Always keep in mind that you are carrying a passenger.
Always follow proper procedures for crossing the side of a hill as described further in this
Operator's Guide. Avoid hills with excessively slippery or loose surfaces. Shift operator and
passenger weight to the uphill side of the vehicle. Never attempt to turn the vehicle around
on any hill until you have mastered the turning technique described in this Operator's Guide
on level ground. Avoid crossing the side of a steep hill if possible. Always keep in mind that
you are carrying a passenger.
Always use proper procedures if you stall or roll backwards when climbing a hill. To avoid
stalling, use proper gear and maintain a steady speed when climbing a hill. If you stall or roll
backwards, follow the special procedure for braking described in this Operator's Guide. First,
disembark the passenger then the operator. Dismount on the uphill side or to a side if pointed
straight uphill. Turn the vehicle around and remount, following the procedure described further in this Operator's Guide.
12
Page 15
Always check for obstacles before operating in a new area. Never attempt to operate over
large obstacles, such as large rocks or fallen trees. Always follow proper procedures when
operating over obstacles as described further in this Operator's Guide. Do not forget, the
operator is responsible for the safety of the passenger. In doubt, disembark him to get through
the obstacles.
Always be careful when skidding or sliding. Never attempt with a passenger; overturn or
passenger ejection may occur. Learn to safely control skidding or sliding by practicing at low
speeds and on level smooth terrain. On extremely slippery surfaces, such as ice, go slowly
and be very cautious in order to reduce the chance of skidding out of control.
Never operate this vehicle in fast flowing water or in water deeper than that specified in this
Operator's Guide. Remember that wet brakes may have reduced stopping ability. Test your
brakes after leaving water. If necessary, apply them several times to let friction dry out the
pads. The vehicle braking distance may be affected when riding with a passenger. Safely
reduce speed when riding with a passenger. Allow greater distance for braking.
Always be sure there are no obstacles or people behind the vehicle when you operate in
reverse. When it is safe to proceed in reverse, go slowly. Take account that the passenger
can obstruct your view.
Always use the size and type tires specified further in this Operator's Guide. Always maintain
proper tire pressure as described further in this Operator's Guide.
Never modify this vehicle through improper installation or use of accessories. Only use BRP’s
approved accessories. Do not install passenger seats or use the racks to carry more than
one passenger.
Never exceed the stated load limits for this vehicle including operator and passenger, all other
loads and added accessories. Cargo should be properly distributed and securely attached.
Reduce speed and follow instructions in this manual for carrying cargo or pulling a trailer.
Allow greater distance for braking.
Do not forget, the operator is responsible for the safety of the passenger. If in doubt, disem-
bark him. Always practice the maneuvers described in this Operator's Guide without and with
passenger. Always remember that the vehicle handling, stability and braking distance may
be affected when riding with a passenger. Safely reduce speed when riding with a passenger.
Allow greater distance for braking. In some situations, this vehicle can be used easily with
the operator alone but not necessarily with a passenger. Use your common sense.

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.
BRP does not recommend that anyone under the age of 16 drive this vehicle. The passenger
should be 12 years old or more and must be capable of keeping his feet on the footrests and his
hands on the grab handles at all times when seated. 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.
The vehicle handling, stability and braking distance will be affected when riding with a passenger.
Safely reduce speed when riding with a passenger. Allow greater distance for braking.
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!
43
Page 46
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 several times
to ensure it operates freely. It must return
to idle position when released.
• Activate the brake lever and brake pedal
to make sure the brakes fully apply. Lever
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 engine/gearbox
and drive train components.
• Clean headlamps and taillight.
• Ensure front access compartment cover
and rear storage compartment cover are
properly latched.
• Ensure that the operator ’s and either the
passenger’s seats or the storage box are
in place and 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.
• Check passenger’s seat and backrest
condition.
• Check the grab handles condition.
• Educate the passenger concerning the basic rules for a safe ride.
• Make sure that the passenger, if carrying
one, is seated on the designated passenger's seat.
• When storage box is installed (in place of
rear seat), check if it is latched properly.
• Start engine and drive forward slowly a few
feet and 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 and the passenger always wear the appropriate protective clothing and apparel, including an approved helmet, eye protection, boots, gloves, long sleeved shirt and pants. The passenger should have an approved helmet including a rigid chin guard. This type of clothing will
provide you protection from some of the minor hazards you may encounter en route. Operator
and passenger 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/Passenger
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 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. Always make sure any storage compartment latches are closed. If a
removable compartment cover is removed to carry a load, make sure that the load is secure and
that smaller objects cannot “fly out”. Secure compartment covers.
This vehicle is designed specifically to carry an operator and ONE (1) passenger only. The
passenger must be seated on the designated passenger's seat and hold on to the grab handles
at all times. Do not install other passenger's seat other than the one recommended by BRP. Do
not use the racks or their location to carry passenger(s). Carrying more than one (1) passenger
may affect the stability and your control of the vehicle. When the storage box is installed (in place
of rear seat), the vehicle becomes a ONE-RIDER vehicle and NO PASSENGER must be allowed
on it.
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. The 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. Always use low gear range and slow down a lot.
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.
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”. The vehicle handling, stability and braking
distance may be affected when riding with a passenger. Safely reduce speed when riding with
a passenger. Allow greater distance for braking.
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 the permission of the landowner before riding on private land.
Respect crops, farm animals and property lines. If you come to a closed gate, close it again
behind 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.
47
Page 50
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.
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 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.
The vehicle handling, stability and braking distance may be affected when riding with a passenger. Safely reduce speed when riding with a passenger. Allow greater distance for braking.
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 people or obstacles.
Proceed slowly and avoid sharp turns.
When stopped or parked, always apply the parking brake. This is especially important 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 tip-over is possible before traction is lost. For example, it is 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 sidehilling
dangers when doing so.
It is also wise to know the terrain condition on the other side of the hill or bank. All too often there
exists a sharp drop-off that is impossible to negotiate or descend.
48
Page 51
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.
Side Hilling
Whenever possible, such operation should be avoided. If necessary, do so with extreme caution.
Sidehilling 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.
49
Page 52
V00A1VL
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 ATV 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 ATV. 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 direction to the other riders. The last person after crossing then assists
the lead driver to cross. Do not travel on 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 to cross 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.
50
Page 53
V00A25L
Water will affect the braking ability of your vehicle. Make sure you dry the brakes by applying
them several times after the vehicle leaves the water. The vehicle braking distance may be
affected when riding with a passenger. Safely reduce speed when riding with a passenger. Allow
greater distance for braking.
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, your passenger, the vehicle and its load. Be ever watchful
of open water... it is a sure indication that the ice thickness will vary. The operator is responsible
for the safety of the passenger. 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 or passenger ejection. Slush
should be avoided at all times since it could block the operation or controls of the vehicle. Never
attempt this maneuver with a passenger. Always remember that the vehicle handling and stability
may be affected when riding with a passenger.
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. When
you ride with a passenger, drive slowly.
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. Always remember that the vehicle handling and stability may be affected when riding
with a passenger.
51
Page 54
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 or cause passenger ejection 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. Always remember that vehicle
handling, stability and braking distance may be affected when riding with a passenger.
V00A1WL
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. The operator is responsible for the safety of the passenger and in doubt,
disembark him before getting through the obstacles. 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 handlebar or grab
handles firmly. Place operator and passenger 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. The operator is responsible for the safety of the passenger and in doubt, disembark him before getting through the
obstacles.

Do not forget, the operator is responsible for the safety of the passenger. In doubt, disembark
him before climbing hill. Always remember that the vehicle handling, stability and braking distance may be affected when riding with a passenger.
If you decide to keep your passenger, he must synchronize his movements with yours.
Operator and passenger must keep their body weight forward towards the top of the hill. Keep
your feet on the footrests 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, passenger first,
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. The passenger should get on the vehicle only when the vehicle has returned to a safe
location.

Downhill
Do not forget, the operator is responsible for the safety of the passenger. In doubt, disembark
him before going down the hill. Always remember that the vehicle handling, stability and braking
distance may be affected when riding with a passenger.
If you decide to keep your passenger, he must synchronize his movements with yours.
Operator and passenger must keep their body weight rearwards. Apply the brake gradually to
prevent skidding. Do not “coast” down the slope using solely engine compression or in neutral
gear.

Side-Hilling
Do not forget, the operator is responsible for the safety of the passenger. In doubt, disembark
him before proceeding. Always remember that the vehicle handling, stability and braking distance may be affected when riding with a passenger.
If you decide to keep your passenger, he must synchronize his movements with yours.
This is one of the most risky types of riding since it may drastically change the balance of the
vehicle. It should be avoided wherever possible. If it is necessary to do so however, it is important
that the operator and the passenger ALWAYS keep their body weight on the upside of the slope...
and be prepared to dismount on that side should the vehicle begin to topple. Do not try to stop
or save the vehicle from damage.

Routine Maintenance
Once your ride completed, it is 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.
The vehicle handling, stability and braking distance may be affected when riding with a passenger. Safely reduce speed when riding with a passenger. Allow greater distance for braking.
The operator is responsible for the safety of the passenger. In doubt, disembark him before
executing the maneuver. Use your common sense.
While reading this Operator’s Guide, remember that:
WARNING
Indicates a potential hazard that, if not avoided, could result in serious injury or death.

HOW TO IDENTIFY YOUR ATV
The main components of your vehicle (engine
and frame) are identified by different serial
numbers. It may sometimes become necessary to locate these numbers for warranty
purposes or to trace your vehicle in the event
of loss. These numbers are required by the
authorized Bombardier ATV dealer to complete warranty claims properly. No warranty
will be allowed by BRP Inc. if the engine identification number (EIN) or vehicle identification number (VIN) is removed or mutilated in
any way. We strongly recommend that you
take note of all the serial numbers on your vehicle and supply them to your insurance company.

NOTE: This section gives basic functions of
the various controls of your ATV. For more details of how to operate one control in conjunction with some others, refer to OPERATING
INSTRUCTIONS further in this section.
1) Throttle Lever
Located on the right side of handlebar. When
pushed, it increases the engine speed that allows the engagement of the transmission on
the selected gear.
When released, the engine speed should return automatically to idle and the vehicle will
gradually slow down.
2
3) Brake Lever
Located on the left side of handlebar. When
the brake lever is compressed, the front and
rear brakes are applied. When released, the
brake lever should automatically return to its
original position. Braking effect is proportional
to the force applied on the lever and to the
type and condition of the terrain.
NOTE: As on other wheeled vehicles, the vehicle weight is transferred to the front wheels
when braking. To obtain greater stopping efficiency, the brake system distributes more
braking force to the front wheels. This will affect vehicle handling and steering control
when braking vigorously. Take it into account
when braking.

not in operation.
WARNING
Always use the brake lever lock and engage the PARK position on the transmission lever when the vehicle is not in operation.
WARNING
Make sure brake lever lock is fully disengaged before operating the ATV.
When you ride the vehicle, brakes that are
caused to drag by a continuous pressure
on the lever may cause damage to the
brake system and cause loss of braking
capacity and/or fire.
To engage mechanism: Squeeze brake lever and maintain while moving lever lock.
Brake lever is now compressed and applying
all brakes.
