When it is safe to proceed in reverse, go slowly.
Always use the size and type tires specified further in this Operator’s Guide. Always maintain
proper tire pressure as described further in this guide.
Never modify this vehicle through improper installation or use of accessories. Only use BRP's

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 the 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.
BRP does not recommend anyone under the age 16 to ride a vehicle 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 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 requires 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” plus others, 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!
38
Page 41
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:
a) Remove vehicle lock.
b) Apply parking brake and check if it oper-
ates properly.
c) Check tire pressure and condition.
d) Check wheels and bearings for wear and
damage.
e) Check location of controls and ensure they
work properly.
f) Verify if steering operates freely.
g) Activate throttle control lever several times
to ensure it operates freely. It must return
to idle position when released.
h) Activate the brake lever and brake pedal
to make sure the brakes fully apply. They
must fully return when released.
i) Ensure transmission lever is working then
reset in PARK position.
j) Check fuel, oil and coolant levels.
k) Check for oil leaks on the engine transmis-
sion and drive train component.
l) Ensure fuel valve is in fully open position
(ON).
m) Clean headlamp, direction indicator lamps
and brake lamp
n) Ensure front access compartment cover
and rear storage cover compartment are
properly latched.
o) Ensure seat is properly latched.
p) If you transport cargo, respect load capac-
ity. Ensure cargo is properly secured to the
racks.
q) If you are pulling a trailer or other equip-
ment, ensure it respects the tongue capac-
ity and towing capacity. Ensure trailer is
properly secured to hitch.
r) Look and feel for loose parts while engine
is off. Check fasteners.
s) Ensure the path of travel is free of persons
and obstacles.
t) Check operation of ignition switch, start
button, engine stop switch, headlamp and
direction switches as well as hazard warn-
ing button.
u) Start engine, remove parking brake and
drive forward slowly a few feet then apply
all brakes individually to test them.
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 wears 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 sun glasses may be
required. Different colored lenses available for goggles or sun glasses help you distinguish terrain variations. Sun glasses 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 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 covering and obstructing the headlamp or
brake lamp 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”
This vehicle is designed specifically to carry an operator only. Even with a long seat that provides
unrestricted operator movements, they are not designed nor intended to carry passenger(s).
Carrying passenger (s) will affect the stability and your control of the ATV.
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.
41
Page 44
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”.
Always operate this vehicle at low speed, do not exceed 65 km/h (40 MPH), and reduce the
speed before making a turn when the vehicle is operated on the roadway.
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 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.
42
Page 45
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 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 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.
For the users in the European Community, it is mandatory to remove the winch hook to operate
the vehicle on the roadway. Failure to follow this requirement could cause additional injuries
including the possibility of death if an accident occurs.
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, 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 the other side of the hill or bank. All too often there
exists a sharp drop-off that is impossible to negotiate or descend.
43
Page 46
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.
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.
44
Page 47
V00A0UL
Even though there is an adequate suspensions system on an 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.
If a road usage is allowed in your area, operate your vehicle on paved surface only for short
distance and for the only purpose of moving the vehicle from an off-road usage to another.
Always operate your vehicle at low speed (never exceed 65 km/h (40 MPH)) and reduce the
speed before making a turn. Always respect all road traffic laws when operating your vehicle on
public roads or streets. 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.
45
Page 48
V00A0VL
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.
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 an 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.
When riding in sand dunes it is advisable to equip the ATV 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
the vehicle... possibly causing it to slide and tipover especially at high speeds. In addition, braking distance may be 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.
46
Page 49
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 ATV 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.
47
Page 50
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 an 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.

Side Hilling
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 you ALWAYS keep your 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.
V00A0ZL
Routine Maintenance
Once your ride is completed it is wise to remove any build up of snow, ice, mud and grime. Not
only will this help you keep the 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 the 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 advise on how to properly take care of your ATV. 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 ATV. 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.
