GENERAL PRECAUTIONS
Avoid Fires and Other
Hazards
To reduce the risk of fire or explosion,
follow these instructions:
Fuel
– Special precautions must be taken
when handling or storing fuel containers in the cargo box
– Use only an approved gasoline con-
tainer to store fuel.
– Never fill the gasoline container in
the vehicle cargo box or on the vehicle - an electrical static discharge
may ignite the fuel.
WARNING
Strictly adhere to these instructions when handling fuel containers as gasoline is extremely
flammable and highly explosive.
Electrical System and Batteries
WARNING
Have your battery pack inspected
and v oltage checked by a Can-Am
dealer after an accident or a severe
impact.
– Follow this guide's recommenda-
tion and have your vehicle's electrical system inspected by an authorized Can-Am dealer.
– Use only an adequate extension
cord to connect vehicle to electrical
outlet.
Avoid Burns from Hot Parts
Certain components become hot during operation. Avoid contact during
and shortly after operation to avoid
burns.
Accessories and
Modifications
Do not make unauthorized modifications, or use attachments or accessories that are not approved by BRP.
Since these changes have not been
tested by BRP, t hey may increase the
risk of crash or injury, and can render
the vehicle illegal. For example, modifications such as d ifferent tires can affect the center-of-gravity and increase
the risk of rollover.
See your authorized Can-Am dealer for
available accessories for your vehicle.
Electrical Shocks
Do not tamper with the electrical system of this vehicle. See an authorized
Can-Am dealer.
WARNING
If a fire occurs with this vehicle,
use only a type ABC, BC or C fire
extinguisher that is meant for use
on electrical fires. Using water or
the incorrect fire extinguisher can
result in serious injury o r death
from electrical shock.

SAFE OPERATION - RESPONSIBILITIES
Operators mus t be responsible and
use care to avoid accidents such as
rollovers, tipovers, collisions, etc.
Even with vehicle safety features
(such as protective structure, seat
belts, sid e nets) an d protective gear
(such as a helmet), there is always a
risk of injury or death in these accidents. To reduce the risk of serious
injury or death, follow the rules in this
section.
Owner - Be Responsible
Read this Operator's Guide.
Always inspect and confirm the safe
operating condition of your vehicle
prior to r ide. Alwa ys follow the maintenance schedule described in this
Operator's Guide.
Never allow anyone to operate your
vehicle unless they are responsible
and can be trusted with this type o f
vehicle. Consider supervising new
operators and setting rules and limits
(e.g., whether they can carry a passenger, what they may do with the vehicle,
where they may ride, etc.) for anyone
using your vehicle.
Discuss the safety information with
anyone who will be using the vehicle.
Be sure that all operators and pass engers meet the qualifications below and
agree to follow the safety information.
Help users become familiar with th e
vehicle.

SAFE OPERATION - RESPONSIBILITIES
On-Road Usage
Drive responsibly, always respect road
traffic laws.
Have a proper driver's license in accordance with local laws when driving this
vehicle on public roads where permitted.
The operator is responsible for the
safety of the passenger and b ystanders. Always follow the safe operation guidelines and drive safely,
This is a Low Speed Vehicle (LSV) intended for limited on and off road use.
Check with local laws for limitations on
use.
LSVs provide much less crash protection than cars. This vehicle is not
equipped with the safety features
(such as airbags) found in cars. If you
are in a collision, you are more likely
to be hurt or killed than in a car. Se at
belts, nets and helmets provide some
protection but w ill not prevent serious
injury or death if the vehicle is crushed
or the impact is severe.
Even if allowed by local law, avoid areas with heavy or high-speed traffic. If
you must operate in these conditions,
a helmet may reduce your risk of injury
in a collision.
This vehicle is quiet; other road users
may not hear you. Watch for pedestrians and bikers and use th e horn as
needed.
Riding Carefully
– This vehicle handles differently
from other vehicles. A collisio n or
rollover can occur quickly, during
abrupt maneuvers such as doing
sharp turns, acceleration or deceleration and driving on hills or over
obstacles, if you fail to take proper
precautions.
– Always go at a speed that is proper
for the terrain, visibility, and operating conditions, and your experience.
– Never attempt jumps, side slides,
donuts or any other stunts.
– Never attempt rapid acceleration
or deceleration when performing a
sharp turn. This may result in a roll
over.
– Never attempt skidding or sliding.
If vehicle starts to skid or slide,
counter steer in the direction of
skidding or sliding. On extremely
slippery surfaces, such as ice, go
slowly and be very cautious in order
to reduce the chance of skidding out
of control.
– Always be sure there are no obsta-
cles or people behind the vehicle
when you operate in reverse. Pay
attention to blind spots. When it
is safe to proceed in reverse, go
slowly.
– Never try to stop a rollover using
your arms or legs. If you think that
the vehicle may tip or roll, the driver
should keep both hands on the
steering wheel, the left foot firmly
planted on the footrest and the right
foot planted on the floor. The passenger should keep both hands on
the handholds and both feet firmly
planted on the floor.
– Always remember that this vehicle
is heavy! Its pure weight alone may
entrap you should it tip or rollover.
Occupant Restraint System
– This vehicle is designed to carry
one driver and one passenger, both
wearing proper protective gears (refer to the
PREPARE TO RIDE
sub-
section).
– The driver and passenger must latch
the side nets and wear the seat
belts at all times when riding.
– Never grab the cage while riding.
Hands can be crushed between the
cage and the ground in a rollover.
Keep hands on the steering wheel
or handholds.

Terrain Condition
– Always go slowly and be extra care-
ful when operating on unfamiliar
terrain. Alw ays be alert to changing
terrain conditions when operating
this vehicle. Take the time to learn
how the vehicle performs in different environments.
– Never operate on excessively
rough, slippery or loose terrain until you have learned and practiced
the skills necessary to control this
vehicleonsuchterrain. Alwaysbe
especially cautious on these kinds
of terrain.
– Never o p erate this vehicle on hills
too steep for the vehicle or your abilities. Practice on small inclines.
– Always follow pro p er procedures
for c limbing or going down hills as
described in
RIDING THE VEHICLE
subsection. Check the terrain carefully before you start up or down any
hill. Never climb or descend hills
with excessively slippery or loose
surfaces. Never go over the top of
any hill at high speed.
– Never atte m pt steep hills or side
hilling when pulling a trailer.
– Always check for obstacles before
operating in a new area. Always follow proper procedures when operating over obstacles as described in
RIDING THE VEHICLE
subsection.
– Never operate this vehicle in fast
flowing w ater or in water deeper
than spec ified in
RIDING THE VE-
HICLE
subsection. Remember that
wet brakes may have reduced stopping ability. Te st your brakes after
leaving water. If ne ce ssary, apply
them several times to let friction dry
out the brakes.
– Always ensure to properly park the
vehicle on the flattest terrain section
available. Put shift lever in PARK
before leaving the vehicle. Block
wheels if vehicle is parked on an incline.
– 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 rollover, the best advice
is to immediately steer in the direction of the rollover! Never attempt
to prevent a rollover with your arms
or legs. You should keep your limbs
inside the cage.
– When riding on paved surfaces,
ensure the rear differential is not
locked. Avoidabrupt inputs to steering wheel. When turning, avoid
abrupt inputs to brake or accelerator.

the safe operating condition of your vehicle. Refer to
PRE-RIDE INSPECTION
subsection.
Driver and passenger must:
– Be properly seated.
– Latch both side nets and fasten seat
belt.
– Wear appropriate riding gear.
Riding Gear
(On-Road Use)
An approved helmet for the operator and passenger is recommended
when using this vehicle on public roads
where permitted to reduce the risk of
injury in the event of an accident.
For helmet information, refer to
CHOOSING AN HELMET
in
RIDING
GEAR FOR OFF-ROAD USE
in this
section.
(Off-Road Use)
It is important that the operator and
passenger always wear appropriate
protective clothing and apparel, including:
– An approved helmet
– Eye protection
–Boots
–Gloves
– A long sleeved shirt or jacket
– Long pants.
Depending on conditions, anti-fogging
goggles may be required.

5. Long pants
6. Boots (over-the-ankle footwear)
Weather conditions should help you
decide how to dress. To maximize
comfort and avoid frostbites in winter, dress for the coldest weather expected. Thermal underwear next to
the skin also provides good insulation.
Never wear any loose clothing tha t
may get entangled in the vehicle or on
tree branches and shrubs.
Helmets and Eye Protection
Helmets protect the head and brain
from injury. Even with the vehicle's
cage and side nets, objects can enter the cockpit and strike the head, or
the head can strike the cage itself or
objects outside the vehicle. Even the
best helmet is no guarantee against
injury, but statistics indicate that helmet use significantly reduces the risk
ofbraininjury. So,besafeandalways
wear a helmet while riding.
Choosing a Helmet
Helmets should be manufactured to
meet the appropriate standard in your
state, province or country and should
fit properly.

Page 19
PREPARE TO RIDE
Ahelmetwithfaceprotectionisabetter choice as it protects also against
frontal impacts. It can also protect
against debris, stones, insects, the elements, etc.
An open-face helmetdoes not offer the
same protection for the face and chin.
If you wear an open-face helmet, you
should use a snap-on face shield and/or
a pair of goggles. Ordinary glass es or
sunglasses are not sufficient eye protection for riders. They can shatter
or fly off, and they allow wind and airborne objects to reach the eyes.
For winter riding conditions, a stocking type cap, balaclava and face mask
should alw ays be carried or worn.
Use tinted face shields or goggles in
the daytime only; do not use them at
night or in poor illumination. Do not
use them if they impair your ability to
discern color.
Footwear
Always wear closed toe footwear.
Sturdy over-the-ankle boots with
non-slip soles offer more protection
and allow you to plant your foot properly on footrest.
Avoid long shoelaces that can be tangled in the accelerator or brake pedals.
For winter riding conditions, rubber
soled boots with either a nylon or
leather uppers , with removable felt
liners are best suited.
Avoid rubber boots. Rubber boots may
get trapped behind or between pedals,
impairing the proper operation of brake
and accelerator pedals.
Gloves
Full-fingered gloves protect hands
from the wind, sun, heat, cold and flying objects. Gloves that fit snugly will
improvegriponthesteeringwheeland
help reduce hand fatigue. Sturdy, reinforced motorcycle or ATV gloves help
protect hands better in the event of an
accident or a rollover. If gloves are too
bulky, it may be difficult to operate the
controls.
For winter riding conditions, hands
should be protected by a pair of snowmobile glove s which have sufficien t
insulation and allow use of thumbs and
fingers for operation of controls.
Jackets, Pants and Riding Suits
Wear a jacket or a long sleeved shirt
and long pants, or a full riding suit.
Quality ATV-type protective gear will
provide comfort, and it can help you
avoid being distracted by adverse environmental elements. In case of a
crash, good quality protective gear
made of sturdy material may prevent
or reduce injury.
In cool-weather riding, protect yourself against hypothermia. Hypothermia, a c ondition of low body temperature, can cause loss of concentration,
slowed reactions and loss of smooth,
precise muscle movement. In cool
conditions, proper protective gear like
a windproof jacket and insulated layers
of clothing are essential. Even while
riding at moderate temperatures, you
can feel very cold due to the wind.
Protective gear that is appropriate for
cold-weather riding may be too hot
when stopped. Dress in layers so that
clothing can be removed as desired.
Topping the protective gear with a
windproof outer layer can prevent cold
air from reaching the skin.
Rain Gear
Ifyoumustrideinwetweather,arain
suit or a waterproof riding suit is recommended. On long rides, it is a good
idea to carry rain gear. A dry rider will
be much more comfortable and alert.

AVOID ACCIDENTS
Avoid Rollovers and
Tipovers
This vehicle can handle o ff-road terrain due to its d es ign (wheelbase, track
width, ground clearance, etc.) As a result, this vehicle may overturn in some
cornering conditions if proper precautions are not followed.
A rollover or other accident can occur quickly during abrupt maneuvers
such as sharp turns or hard acceleration or deceleration when turn ing, or
when driving on hills or ove r obstacles. Abrupt maneuvers o r aggressive
driving can cause rollovers or loss of
control even in flat open areas. If the
vehicle rolls over, any part of your body
(such as arms, legs, or head) outside of
the cockpit can be crushed and trapped
by the cage or other parts of the vehicle. You can also be injured by impact
with the ground, cockpit or other objects.
To reduce the risk of rollovers:
– Use care when turning.
• Adjust steering inputs accordingly to your speed and environment.
• Slow down before entering a
turn. Avoid hard braking during
a turn.
• Avoid sudden or hard acceleration when turning, even from a
stop or low speed.
– Never attempt donuts, skids, slides,
fishtails, jumps, or other stunts. If
vehicle starts to skid or slide, steer
in the direction of the skid or slide.
Never slam the brakes and lock the
wheels.
– Riding the vehicle with the rear dif-
ferential in the locked position affects vehicle handling and control.
This vehicle should be driven with
the rear differential in the unlock
position, except for off-road operation or when conditions are slippery
such as when there is snow or ice.
When differential is locked, reduce
speed for optimum vehicle stability,
control and traction.
During OFF-Road Operation
This vehicle can roll over sideways
or tip over forward or backwards on
slopes or uneven terrain.
– Avoid side hilling (driv ing along the
slope rather tha n up or down a hill).
When possible, drivestraight up and
down inclines rather than across
them. If you must side h ill, use extreme caution and avoid slippery
surfaces, objects, or depressions. If
you feel the vehicle start to rollover
or slide sideways, steer downhill if
possible.
– Avoid s te ep hills and follow proce-
dures in this guide for climbing and
descending hills.
– Sudden changes in terrain such as
holes, depressions, banks, softer or
harder ground or other irregularities
may cause the vehicle to tip or become unstable. Observe the terrain
ahead and slow down in areas of uneven terrain.
Avoid Collisions
This vehicle does not have the same
kind o f protection for collisions as a
passenger car; for example, there are
no air bags, the cockpit is not fully enclosed, and it is not designed to meet
collisions requirements. Seat b e lts

and nets provide some protection, but
will not prevent serious injury or death
if the vehicle is crushed or the impact
is severe.
Zones with heavy traffic or high speed
traffic should be avoided to reduce the
risk of collision s. You should n ever operate in zones where you become an
obstacle and an annoyance for faster
moving traffic.
It is als o recommended to wear an approved helmet in addition to fastening
the seat belts and side nets to increase
protection.

Practice Exercises
Before you go out for a ride, it is very
important to familiarize yourself with
thehandlingofyourvehiclebypracticing in a controlled environment. If
possible, it is also a very good idea to
take a more formal training course to
sharpen your skills and increase your
knowledge of the vehicle.
NOTE: All exercises should b e practiced with the differential in the unlocked and locked positions to learn
the different handling ch aracteristics
of the vehicle.
Find a suitable area to practice and
perform the following exercises. It
should be at least 45 m (150 ft) by 45 m
(150 ft), free of obstacles like trees and
rocks. Once you’ve selected a suitable
permitted location, proceed with the
following practice exercises.
Turning Exercises
Turning is one of the most frequent
causes of accidents. It is easier for the
vehicle to lose traction or rollover if you
turn too sharply, or g o too fast. Slow
down when you approach a turn.
– First learn how to perform slight
right turns at very low speeds. Release the throttle before turning and
slowly reapply the throttle when
turning.
– Repeat turning exercise but this
time maintain the throttle at the
same level while turning.
– Finally, repeat turning exercise
while accelerating slowly.
– Practice exercises turning on the
other side.
Note how your vehicle reacts in these
different exercises. We recommend
releasing the throttle before entering a
turn to help initiate directional change.
You will feel the lateral force increasing
with the speed and with your steering input. The lateral force should be
maintained as low as possible to make
sure it does not cause the vehicle to
roll over.
U turn Exercises
Practice doing U turns.
– Accelerate slowly and while remain-
ing at low speed, gradually turn the
steering wheel to the right until you
have completed the U turn.
– Repeat U turn exercise with differ-
ent steering inputs and always at a
very low speed.
– Repeat U turn exercise on the other
side.
As mentioned before in this guide, do
not ride on paved surfaces as the vehicle behavior will not be the same,
increasing the risk of r ollo ve r.
Braking Exercises
Practice braking to get familiar with the
brake response.
–Doitatlowspeedfirst,thenin-
crease the speed.
– Practice braking in straight line at dif-
ferent speeds and different braking
force.
– Practice emergency braking; opti-
mal braking is obtained in straight
line, with high force applied, with-
out locking the wheels.
Remember, braking distance depends
on vehicle speed, load and the type of
surface. Also, the tires and brakes conditionsplayamajorrole.
Reverse Exercises
The next step involves using the reverse.
– Install 1 cone marker on both sides
of the vehicle beside each rear
wheel. Move the vehicle forward
until you can see the cone markers,
then stop the vehicle. Acknowl-
edge the distance required to see
obstacles behind you.

– Learn how the vehicle handles itself
in reverse and reacts with steering
inputs.
– Always perform th is reverse exer-
cise at slow speeds.
Emergency Motor Stopping
Exercise
Learn how to stop your moto r q uickly in
an emergency situation.
– While running at low speed, simply
turn the ignition key to the off position.
On-Road and Paved
Surfaces Operation
When going on paved surface unlock
differential.
When driving vehicle on-roads, ensure
to keep to the right side of the road to
allow faster vehicles to pass you.
Vehicle handles differently while
on-paved surfa ces so make sure to
keep extra awareness to you for:
–Terrain,
– Road surface condition,
– Line of sights,
– Traff ic,
– Weather condition.
Off-Road Operation
The very nature of off-road operation
is dangerous. Any terrain, which has
not been specially prepared to carry
vehicles, presents an inherent danger
where terrain substance, shape and
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 ex ercis e the utmost care in selecting the safest path
and keeping close watch on the terrain ahead of him. The vehicle should
never be operated by anyone who is
not complet ely familiar with the driving
instructions applicable to the vehicle,
nor should it be operated on steep or
treacherous terrain.
General Riding Techniques
General Driving Tips
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 o f 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 selec t a safe route permit.
Always go slowly and be extra careful
when opera tin g on unfamiliar terrain.
Always be alert to changing terrain conditions when operating this vehicle.
Be especially cautious on excessively
rough, slippery, icy or loose terrain.
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
tipoverorrollover.
Never operate the vehicle if the controls do not function normally. See an
authorized Can-Am dealer.
To maintain proper control it is strongly
advised that you keep your hands on
the steering wheel 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 left foot on the footrest and right
foot on the floor at all times. Sta yin g
completely within the cockpit will also
help keep you from striking objects
outside the vehicle.
Watch for and avoid branches and
other objects that could enter the cockpit and strike you or your p as senger.

Operating in Reverse
When operating in reverse, check that
thepathbehindthevehicleisfreeof
people or obstacles. Pay attention to
blind spots. When it is safe to proceed
in reverse, go slowly and avoid sharp
turns.
WARNING
Steering inputs in reverse operation increase the risk of rollover.
NOTE: In reverse operation, the motor
RPM is limited thus limiting the vehicle
reverse speed.
WARNING
When driving downhill in reverse,
gravity can increase the vehicle
speed above the set limited reverse speed.
Shallow Water Crossing
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 c ro ss any
water. Water depth should not exceed
30 cm (12 in) for vehicle to safely cross
the obstacle. Beware 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.
Water will a ffect the b raking 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.
Riding on Snow or Ice
When performing pre-ride inspection,
pay special attention to locations on
the vehicle where snow and/or ice
accumulations may obstruct visibility
of the tail lamp or interfere with the
movement of controls. Before starting
with your vehicle, check the steering,
accelerator and brake pedals for interference free operation.
Whenever this vehicle is ridden on a
snow covered drive path, the tire grip
is generally reduced c ausing the vehicle to react differently to control inputs from the operator. On low grip
surfaces, the steering responses are
not as crisp and precise, stopping distances are lengthened and acceleration is also affected. Slow down and
do not "gun" the accelerator. This will
only result in spinning of the tires and
possiblyinanoversteeringslideofthe
vehicle. Avoid hard braking. This will
possibly result in a s traig ht line slid e of
the vehicle. Again, the be st advice is to
safely reduce speed in anticipation of
a maneuver to give yourself time and
distance in order to keep control of the
vehicle.
When driving on snow or ice, lock the
rear differential to improve traction.
As you d rive your vehicle over a loose
snow covered surface, snow dust will
be picked up in the wake turbulence
of the moving vehicle and transported
to contact and acc umulate or melt on
some exposed components including
rotating parts like brake discs. Water,
snow or ice may affect the response
time of the bra ke system of your v ehicle. Even when not required to reduce
vehicle speed apply brakes frequently
to prevent ice or snow accumulation
and to dry brake pads and discs. W hile
doing so in low risk driving situations
you will test for grip level and keep
yourself alerted to how the vehicle reacts to your control inputs. Always
keep brake and accelerator pedals and
floor boards free of snow and ice. Frequently wipe snow off seat, steering
wheel, headlights and tail lamps.
The depth of the snow cover may hide
rocks, tree stumps or other objects and
if it is wet may totally impede the driv-

RIDING YOUR VEHICLE
ability as the vehicle becomes bogged
down or completely looses traction in
slushy snow. Look far ahead and always be watchful of any visible clues
that might indicate the presence of
such obstacles. In doubt steer clear.
Avoid driving on any frozen waterways
before checking that the ice will safely
support the vehicle, its riders and its
load of cargo.
At the end of each ride it is a good practice to clean the vehicle and all moving
components (brakes, steering components, drivelines, controls, etc.) from
any snow or ice accumulations. Wet
snow will turn to ice during the s hu t
down period and become more difficult to remove at the next pre-ride
inspection.
Riding on Sand
Sand and riding on sand dunes is an other unique experience but there are
some basic precautions that should
be observed. Wet, deep or fine sand
may create a loss of trac tion 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 driving on sand, lock the re ar differential to improve traction.
When riding in sand dunes it is advisabletoequipthevehiclewithanantenna type safety flag. This will he lp
make your location more visible to others over the next sand dune. Proceed
carefully should you see another safety
flag ahead.
Riding on Gravel, Loose Stones or
Other Slippery Surfaces
Riding on loose stones or gravel is very
similar to riding on ice. They will affect
the steering of vehicle, possibly c au sing it to slide an d tip over especially at
high speeds. In addition, braking distance may be affected. Remember
that “gunning” the throttle or sliding
may cause loose stones to be ejected
rearwards into the path of a no ther
rider's way. Never do it deliberately.
If you do get into a slide or skid, it m ay
help to turn the steering wheel into the
directionoftheskiduntilyouregain
control. Never jam the brakes and lock
the wheels.
Crossing Obstacles
Obstacles on the “trail” should be traversed with caution. This includes
rocks, fallen trees, and depressions.
You should avoid them whenever possible. Remember that some obstacles
are too large or dangerous to cross
and should be avoided. As a guideline,
never attempt to cross an obstacle
higher than the ground clearance of
the vehicle. Small roc ks or small fallen
trees may be safely crossed - approach
obstacle at low speed and as much as
possible at a right angle. Adjust speed
without losing momentum and do not
accelerate abruptly. Passenger must
grasp handholds firmly and brace feet
on the floor. Hold steering firmly without closing your fists around it and proceed. Be aware that the obstacle may
be slippery or may move while crossing.
Hill Driving Conditions
When driving on hills or slopes, two
things are highly important: be prepared for slippery surfaces or terrain
variations and obstacles and brac e
yourself properly inside vehicle. If you
climb or descend a hill that is too slippery or has too loose a surface, you
can lose control. If you go over the
top of a hill at high speed, you may not
have time to prepare for the terrain
on the other side. Avoid parking on
a s lo pe. Always put the shift lever in
PARK when stopped or parked, especially on an inclin e, to avoid rolling. If
you must park on a steep incline, block
the wheels using rocks or bricks.

Page 26
RIDING YOUR VEHICLE
Uphill Driving
Use the lo w range (L) for uphill driving.
Due to its configuration, this vehicle
has very good traction even while
climbing, 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. This vehicle is
not designed to negotiate such a condition. Take an alternate route.
It is also wise to know the terrain condition on the other side of the hill or
bank. All too o ften there exists a sharp
drop-off that is impossible to negotiate
or descend.
If you feel that the slope is getting too
steep to climb, apply brakes to immobilize vehicle. Pu t sh ift lever in reve rs e
(R), and back down the hill, barely releasing brakes to remain at low speed.
Do not attempt to turn around. Never
coast d own hill while vehicle is in neutral. Do not perform hard braking as it
increases the risk of tipover.
Downhill Driving
This vehicle can climb steeper slopes
than it can descend safely. Therefore,
it is essential to assure that a safe route
exists to descend a slope before you
climb it.
Decelerating w h ile negotiating a slippery downhill slope could “toboggan”
the ve hicle, causing it to slide. Maintain steady speed and/or accelerate
slightly to regain c ontrol. Never slam
brakes and lock the wheels.
Side Hilling
Whenever possible, sidehilling (driving across a slope rather than up or
down it) should be avoided. If necessary,dosowithextremecaution. Side
hilling on steep inclines c ould result in
rollover. In addition, slippery or unfirm
surfaces could result in uncontrollable
side sliding. Avoid all objects or depressions t hat will intensify the raising
of one side of the vehicle higher than
the other, thus causing rollover. If you
feel the vehicle start to rollover or slide
sideways, steer downhill if possible.
Drop-Offs
This vehicle is not designed to negotiate drop-offs. It 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 tip over.
Avoid negotiating drop-offs. Reverse
and select an alternate route.
Parking the Vehicle
WARNING
Always put the vehicle in PARK
when stopped or parked to prevent rolling.
When stopped or parked always bring
shift lever to park position. This is especially important when parking on a
slope. On steep inclines or if the vehicle is carrying a cargo, the wheels
should be blocked using wheel chocks.
Select the flattest terrain available for
parking.
WARNING
Avoid parking on steep slope as
the vehicle may roll away.
Release accelerator pedal and use
brakes to completely stop the vehicle.
Set shift lever in PARK position.
Turn key in power switch to OFF posi-
tion.
Remove key from power switch.

Recreational, Group and Distance
Riding
Respect the rights and limitations of
others. Stay away f rom 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 tra il. Always stay to the right of the
trailanddonotzigzagtoonesideof
the trail then the other. Be prepared
to stop or pull o ff to the side if another
trail user appears in front of you.
Join a local side-by-side vehicle club. It
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 to
start one. Group riding and club activities provide a pleasurable, social experience. Never ride under the influence
of alcohol or drugs, or tire d or ill.
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.
Most im portantly, check battery
charge. Estimate your driving range
according to conditions. Find out
where you can charge the batteries.
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 environm e ntally sensitive areas. Do not drive over forest
crops or shrubs, nor cut down trees
or take down fencing, nor spin your
wheels an d destroy the terra in. “Tread
Lightly”.
Chasing wildlife is in many are as 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.
When driving on grass, you may unlock
rear differential to avoid damaging the
grass.

Hauling a Load
Never pull a load by attaching it to the
cage;thiscancausethevehicletotip
over. Use only the trailer hitch or winch
(if installed) to pull a load.
When pulling loads with a chain or cable, ensure that there is no slack before
starting and m aintain tension w h ile
pulling.
When hauling a load, respect the maximum hauling capacity. See
PULLING
ATRAILER
subsection.
WARNING
Slack can cause the chain or cable
to break and snap back.
When pulling another v eh icle , be sure
that someone is controlling the pulled
vehicle. They must brake and steer to
prevent the vehicle from going out of
control.
Before pulling loads with a winch, refer
to the winch manufacturer’s instructions.
Reduce your speed when hauling a
load and turn grad ua lly. Avoid hills and
rough terrain. Never attempt steep
hills. Allow more distance for braking,
especially on inclined surfaces. Be
careful not to skid or slide.
Pulling a Trailer
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 o n the vehicle
hitch). Use security chains or cables to
secure the trailer with the vehicle.
Improperly loading a trailer may cause
loss of control. Respect the recommended maximum hauling capacity
and maximum tongue load (Refer to
MAXIMUM HAULING CAPACITY
table). Make sure there is at least some
weight on the tongue.
Always make sure load is evenly distributed and safely secured on th e
trailer; an evenly balance d trailer is
easier to control.
Always put the shift lever to L (low
range) for hauling a trailer – in addition
to providing more torque, operating
in low range helps account for the increasedloadonthereartires.
When stopped or parked, block the vehicle and trailer wheels from possible
movement.
Use caution when disconnecting a

Avoid Rollovers, Tipovers and Collisions
Abrupt maneuvers or aggressive driving can
cause rollovers or loss of control - even on flat
ground - resulting in crushing and other injuries.
• Never drive too fast for the situation. Slow
down before turning. Avoid braking in a turn.

LSVs provide much less crash protection than cars.
This vehicle is not equipped with the safety features
(such as airbags) found in cars. If you are in a collision,
you are more likely to be hurt or killed than in a car. Seat
belts, nets, and helmets provide some protection, but will
not prevent serious injury or death if the vehicle is
crushed or the impact is severe.
To avoid collisions, operate in areas designated for
LSVs only whenever possible. Even if allowed by local
law, avoid areas with heavy or high-speed traffic. If you
must operate in these conditions, a helmet may reduce
your risk of injury in a collision.
This vehicle is quiet; other road users may not hear you.
Watch for pedestrians and bikers and use horn
if needed.
This is a Low Speed Vehicle (LSV) intended for limited
use on and off road. Check local laws for limitations on
use. Read the operator's guide to learn how LSVs are
different from other vehicles.

SUSPENSION
SuspensionAdjustmentsGuideline
Your vehicle handling and comfort depend upon suspension adjustments.
WARNING
Suspension adjustment could affect vehicle handling. Always take time to
familiarize yourself with the vehicle's behavior after any suspension adjustment has been m ade.
Choice of suspension adjustments vary with vehicle load, personal preference, riding speed and terrain condition.
The best way to set up the suspension, is to start from factory settings, then customize each adjustment one at a time.
Front and rear adjustments are interrelated. It may be nec essary to readjust the
rear shock absorbers after adjusting front shock absorbers for instance.
Test run the vehicle under the same conditions; trail, speed, load, etc. Change one
adjustment and retest. Proceed methodically until you are satisfied.
Following are guidelines to fine-tune suspension.
Suspension Factory Settings
To adjust compression setting, proceed as follows:
Use tool provided in tool kit to adjust suspension to the desired position.
FRONT SUSPENSION FACTORY SETTINGS
ADJUSTMENT FA CTORY SETTING
Spring prel oad Cam position 1 (soft)
REAR SUSPENSION FACTORY SETTINGS
ADJUSTMENT FA CTORY SETTING
Spring prel oad Cam position 1 (soft)
Spring Preload Adjustment (Front
and Rear)
Shorten the spring for a firmer ride and
rough riding cond ition or when pullin g a
trailer.
Lengthen th e spring for a softer ride
and smooth riding condition.
WARNING
The left and right shock adjustment on front or rear suspension
must always be set to the same
position. Never adjust one shock
only. Uneven adjustment can
cause poor handling and loss of
stability, which could lead to an accident.
Lift the vehicle. Spring length should
be measured without load on the
wheels.

cause damages to the rim or studs.
Tire Pressure
WARNING
Tire pressure greatly affects vehicle han dling and stabilit y. Under
pressure may cause tire to deflate
and rotate on wheel. Overpressure may burst the tire. Always
follow recommended pressure.
Check pressure when tires are cold
before using the vehicle. Tire pressure changes with temperature and
altitude. Recheck pressure if one o f
these conditions has changed.
For your convenience, a pressure
gauge is supplied in tool kit.

VEHICLE CARE
Post-Operation Care
Whenvehicleisusedinsalt-water
environment rinsing the vehicle with
fresh water is necessary to preserv e
vehicle and its components. Metallic parts lubrication is highly recommended. Use XPS LUBE (P/N 293 600
016) or an equivalent. This must be
performed at the end of each operating day.
When vehicle is operated in muddy
conditions, rinsing the vehicle is recommended to preserve vehicle and its
components.
Vehicle Cleaning and
Protection
Never use a high pressure washer to
clean the vehicle. USE LOW PRES-
SURE ONLY (like a garden hose).
High pressure can cause damage to
electrical or mechanical components.
Pay attention to certain areas where
mud or debris can accumulate and potentially cause wear, interferences or
promote corrosion. The list includes
but is not limited to:
– Shock absorbers
– Around front and rear differentia ls
– Around and underneath motor and
gearbox
– Inside wheels
– On top of skid plates.
Painted parts which are damaged
should be properly repainted to prevent rust.
When required, wash the body with
warm water and soap (only use mild
detergent). Apply non-abrasive wax.
NOTICE
Never clean plastic parts
with strong detergent, degreasing
agent, paint thinner, acetone, etc.

at all times.
Check battery charging indicator periodically to ensure batteries are kept
fully charged during storage period.
NOTICE
Not keeping battery
charged for a prolonged period of
time will lead to premature battery
failure.
Vehicle should b e stored in a moderate
temperature environment. Avoid extreme temperatures.
NOTICE
Storing vehicle in tem peratures below -30°C (-22°F) or above
30°C (86°F) will shorten battery life.
When using your vehicle after storage,
a preparation is required.
