3. Gradually give the DTV throttle.

Depressing the thumb throttle to full throttle when starting off could be hazardous.

The DTV could lurch forward causing the DTV to Flip backwards causing loss of control.

Always open the throttle gradually when taking off from a stopped position.

WARNING

RIDING THE DTV

TURNING

DTVs are different than many other types of vehicles in that turning is controlled by the weight of the rider shifting right or left.

FOR HIGHER SPEEDS OR SHARPER TURNS Depending on the speed going into a turn, the rider will need to adjust body weight accordingly. For faster speeds the rider will need to shift more body weight to the inside of the turn. The important factor in turning is doing so under control. Make sure the capabilities of the rider can match the maneuver. Practice turning on a obstacle free dirt surface.

Steps for proper turning: Practice these steps on a at, level, obstacle free surface.

1. Let off the throttle to slow down before a turn. The vehicle decelerates very quickly on its own due to the resistance of the tracks. Use brakes if necessary. Decelerating during a turn can easily cause a loss of balance and control, so make sure to slow down prior to turning .

2. Once slow enough to make the turn, move body weight to the inside of the turn.

3. Look into the direction of the turn while shifting weight to the inside of the turn.

4. Once turned in the proper direction shift body weight back to the center of the Deck.

Improper turning techniques could be hazardous

The DTV could roll over or the rider could be thrown from the DTV which could lead to severe injury or death.

Follow the turning steps listed in this owner’s manual, practice turning at slow speeds on a at obstacle free dirt surface.

WARNING

Braking while turning could be hazardous.

Braking while turning could cause the DTV to roll over or slide into an object which could result in severe injury or death.

Before making a turn, slow down and release the brake.

WARNING

RIDING THE DTV

Riding a DTV on hills could be hazardous

Riding a DTV on a hill could result in rolling over while traversing, ipping over backwards while climbing, ipping over while descending, general loss of control of the DTV. Any of these accidents on a hill could result in severe injury of death.

Never operate a DTV on steep hills, never operate a DTV on any hill that is above the riders ability to do so. Practice riding the DTV on small hills using the hill riding techniques listed in this owner’s manual.

WARNING

RIDING ON HILLS

Climbing a hill

1. Stop and evaluate the hill before attempting to climb. Make sure the hill is not too steep, the terrain is not loose or slippery and that there are no obstacles.

2. Approach the hill at a steady speed and maintain speed throughout the climb.

3. Shift body weight forward during the climb.

4. Adjust the angle of the handle forward using the handle lock release lever (page 5).

5. When approaching the top of the hill, slow down.

If it is determined that the DTV will not make it to the top of the hill:

1. Do not try to turn the DTV around while riding and come back down, this could cause the DTV to roll over. Instead, once the DTV has stopped, dismount the DTV while applying the brake

RIDING THE DTV

2. Stand beside or behind the DTV, lower the handle enough to reach the hand controls, keep one hand ready to apply the brakes and use the throttle gently to drive forward.

Descending a hill

To operate the DTV down a hill, follow the instructions below.

1. Stop and evaluate the hill before attempting to descend. Make sure the hill is not too steep, the terrain is not loose or slippery and that there are no obstacles.

2. Do not go down the hill on a sharp angle, this could cause the DTV to ip over. Instead, go straight down the hill.

3. Place body weight to the rear of the DTV.

4. Adjust the angle of the handle backward using the handle lock release lever (page 5)

5. Drive downhill slowly. Apply just enough throttle to keep the clutch engaged. This will allow engine compression to help slow the machine and prevent the DTV from rolling freely downhill.

Traversing is an advanced maneuver due to the fact that leaning uphill also causes uphill steering simultaneously. Only attempt traversing with the recommended safety gear, and after you feel comfortable enough with your riding skill level.

Traversing a hill improperly could be hazardous.

Traversing a hill improperly could result in loosing control and ipping the DTV over. This could result in severe injury or death.

WARNING

Traversing a hill

RIDING THE DTV

Riding over large obstacles could be hazardous.

Riding over large obstacles could cause loss of control and cause the DTV to turn over which could result in severe injury or death.

Never attempt to ride over large obstacles, such as large rocks or fallen trees. Always make sure to follow the instructions in this manual when riding over obstacles.

You are almost certain to meet obstacles on most trails, if you meet an obstacle that is too large, turn the DTV around and do not attempt it. If an obstacle is not too large and you have the knowledge and ability (knowing the proper technique), you can cross it by applying the following steps:

1. Go slow while approaching the obstacle.

2. Right before the obstacle give the DTV some throttle and pull back on the handlebars so the tracks go up over the Obstacle.

3. Keep going slowly until the rear of the track clears the obstacle.

WARNING

Riding over obstacles

Never attempt to traverse a hill that is too steep or has loose or slippery terrain.

Always follow the riding techniques listed in this manual for traversing a hill. Never attempt to traverse a large hill without rst practicing on a small hill.

Applying the brake hard on slippery surfaces could be hazardous.

Applying the brake too hard on a slippery surface can cause the Track to lock up and the DTV to slide out of control. The DTV could turn over or slide into an object. This could result in severe injury or death.

Gently apply the brakes when on a slippery surface.

WARNING

In certain situations you may experience skidding or sliding even though the brakes are not applied. Follow the riding techniques listed below to regain control. Tracks begin to slide or skid: To regain traction, let off the throttle until control of the DTV is achieved

Skidding or Sliding

Skidding or sliding of the DTV could be hazardous.

Skidding or sliding could result in the DTV sliding into an object or overturning suddenly by regaining traction resulting in severe injury or death.

Practice controlling skidding or sliding by following the instructions in this manual. Practice on a at level dirt surface Some surfaces are extremely slippery such as Ice and snow. On these types of surfaces, go slow, and use caution.

WARNING

RIDING THE DTV

Riding through water can be hazardous, and can cause damage to the DTV engine if it is fast moving and/or too deep. Make sure the water your are riding through is shallow and is not more than 10cm (4in) deep. Make sure you are traveling slow as to not allow water to enter the Air Box Scoop. Before crossing any water look at the terrain entering and exiting the water, the terrain should have a gradual slope with no obstacles. The bottom of the river or pool of shallow water should be hard. If you do not know the terrain or are not sure about the bottom of the pool or river, do not attempt to enter.

Brakes need to be inspected, cleaned and replaced more often if DTV is used in muddy, wet or sandy conditions. Inspect the DTV brakes regularly, have a service center clean or replace as needed.
