of a new vehicle with the various vehicle controls, maintenance and safe
operating instructions. It is indispensable for the proper use of the product.
This Operator's Guide uses the following symbols and words.
WARNING
Indicates a potential hazard that, if
notavoided, could result in serious
injury or death.
CAUTION: Denotes an instruction
which, if not followed, could severely damage vehicle components.
NOTE: Indicates supplementary infor-
mation needed to fully complete an instruction.
Although the mere reading of such information does not eliminate the hazard, the understanding and application

correct use of this vehicle.
To fully appreciate the pleasures, enjoyment and excitement of using this
vehicle, there are some basic rules
that MUST be observed and followed
by any user.

INTRODUCTION
Your dealer should have provided you
with some basic information on the
particular controls and features of your
new vehicle. Please take the time to
study this Operator's Guide and all
on-product warning labels as well as
the SAFETY VIDEO 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 as well as passenger
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
may not be suitable with a passenger. Show good judgement. Always
proceed with caution. Please do not
take any unnecessary risks that could
leave you or your passenger stranded
or possibly injured.
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 contents of this Operator's Guide
provide riding information which has
been proven reliable by other users.
They are not intended as a definitive
means of avoiding accidents. How
you apply this information, coupled
with your mental and physical condition, the particular terrain hazard and
your risk acceptance level will have
an effect on your riding experience.
Have fun... and ride responsibly.
This Operator's Guide has been prepared to acquaint the owner/operator
of a new vehicle with the various vehicle controls, maintenance and safe
operating instructions. They are indispensable for the proper use of the
product.
We would be pleased to receive any
comments on the content and format
of this Operator's Guide, the SAFETY
VIDEO or on-product warnings labels.

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.

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
