GENERAL PRECAUTIONS

Avoid Carbon Monoxide Poisoning

All engine exhaust contains carbon monoxide, a deadly gas. Breathing carbon monoxide can cause headaches, dizziness, drowsiness, naus ea, confusion and eventually death.

Carbon monoxide is a colorless, odorless, tasteless gas that may be present even if you do not see or smell any engine exhaust. Deadly levels of carbon monoxide can collect rapidly, and you can quickly be overcome and unable to save yourself. Also, deadly levels of carbon monoxide can linger for hours or days in enclosed or poorly ventilated areas. If you experience any symptoms of carbon monoxide poisoning, leave the area immediately, get fres h air and seek medical treatment.

To prevent serious injury or death from carbon monoxide:

– Never run the vehicle in poorly v en-

tilated or partially enclo se d areas such as garages, carports or barns. Even if you try to ventilate engine exhaust with fans or open windows and doors, carbon monoxide can rapidly reach dangerous levels.

– N ev er run the vehicle outdoors

where engine exhaust can be drawn into a building through openings such as windows and doors.

Avoid Gasoline Fires and Other Hazards

Gasoline is extremely flammable and highly explosive. Fuel vapors can spread and be ignited by a spark or flame many feet away from the engine. To reduce the risk of fire or explosion, follow these instructions:

– Use only an approved red gasoline

container to store fuel.

– - Never fill a gasoline container on

the vehicle. An electrical static discharge may ignite the fuel.

– For refueling, strictly adhere to in-

structions in

– N ever start or operate the engine if

the fuel cap is not properly installed.

Gasoline is poisonous and can cause injury or death.

– Never siphon gasoline by mouth. – If you swallow gasoline, get any in

your eye(s), or inhale gasoline vapor, see your doctor immediately.

If gasoline spills on you, wash with soap and water and change your clothes.

FUEL

Avoid B urns from Hot Parts

Certain components become hot during operation. Avoid contact with those parts during and shortly after operation to avoid burns.

Accessories and Modifications

Any modifications or addition of accessories may affect the ha nd ling of you r vehicle. It is important to take the time to get familiar with the vehicle once modifications are made to understand how to adapt your driving behavior accordingly.

Do not temper with unauthorized modifications or install equipment not specifically certified by BRP for the vehicle. These modifications have not been tested by BRP and they may increase the risk of injury or loss of control, or render the vehicle illegal to ride. As an example, tempering with tire specifications may affect the behavior of the vehicle and increase the risk of a loss of control.

Ask your authorized BRP dealer for suitable available accessories for your vehicle.

RIDING THE VEHICLE

To fully appreciate the pleasures and excitement of riding this vehicle, there are some basic rules and tips that you MUST follow. Some may be new to you while others may be common sense or obvious.

Please take the time to study this Operator's Guide and all on-product safety labels as well as the 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.

This is a high performance ATV for off-road use only. Inexperienced riders may overlook risks a nd be surprised by the specific behavior of this ATV in any terrain condition.

We recommend following the age recommendation indicated on the safety label affixed on the unit. Even though a person m ay be within the age group for which this vehicle is recommende d, he may not have the skills, abilities, or judgment needed to operate this vehicle safely and may be involved in a serious accident.

Individuals with cognitive or physical impairments or who are high risk takers have an increa se d exposure to overturns or collisions which may resu lt in injury including death.

Not all vehicles are the same. Each has its own unique performance characteristics, controls and features. Each w ill ride and handle differently.

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.

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.

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,thebestadviceistoimmediatelygetoffAWAYfromthedirectionofthetip over!

We encourage you to have an Annual Safety Inspection of your vehicle. Please contact an authorized BRP dealer for further details. Though not required, it is recommended that an authorized BRP dealer performs the preseason preparation of your vehicle. Each visit to your authorized BRP dealer is a great opportunity for your dealer to verify if your vehicle is included in any safety campaign. We also urge you to visit your authorized BRP dealer in a timely manner if you become aware of any safety related campaigns.

Riding Gear

Actual weather conditions should help you decide how to dress. Dress for the coldest weather expected. Thermal underwear next to the skin also provides a good insulation. It is important that the operator always wears the appropriate protective riding gear and apparel, including an approved helmet, eye protection, boots, gloves, a long sleeved shirt and pants. This type of clothing will provide you protection from some of the minor hazards you may encounter en route. The 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, anti-fogging 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.

– On 2-UP models, NEVER exceed 90 km/h w ith a passenger.

1-UP Models

This vehicle is designed to carry ONE (1) operator only. Do not install passenger seat or use the racks to carry a passenger.

2-UP Models

This vehicle is designed specifically to carry an operator and ONE (1) passenger only. The p assenger must be seated on the designated passenger's seat and hold on to the grab handles at all times. NEVER 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 glove box is installed (in place of rear seat), the vehicle becomes a ONE-RIDER vehicle (1-UP model) and NO PASSENGER mustbeallowedonit.

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 zigzag toonesideofthetrailthentheother. Bepreparedtostoporpullofftothesideif another trail user appears in front of you.

Join a local ATV club. It will provide you with a map and advice or inform you where you can ride. If a club does not existin your area, help to start one. Group ridingand 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 d ime”. Allow greater distance for braking. On 2-UP models, the vehicle handling, stability and br akin g distance may be affe cted when r idin g with a passenger. Safely reduce speed when riding with a passenger.

Before you ride, tell someone where you are planning to travel and your expected time of return.

Depending on the length of your ride, carry additional tools , drinking water, food and emergency equipment. Find out where you can get additionalgasoline and oil. Be prepared for the possible conditions you may encounter.

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”.

This vehicle can cause OHV wildfires if debris builds up near the ex haust or other engine hot spots and ignites then falls off into dry grass. Avoid riding in wet areas, through muskeg or tall grass, where debris can build up. Should you ride in those areas, inspect and remove all debris from your engine and hot spots.

Chasing wildlife is in m an y areas illegal. Wildlife can d ie 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 you.

Finally, do not pollute streams, lakes or rivers and do not modify the engine or exhaust 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.

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 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.

RIDING THE VEHICLE

An operator who takes a vehicleoff-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.

Riding Techniques

Information in this guide is limited. Increase your knowledge and improve your skills by following a certified training course.

Care, caution, experience and driving skill are the best precautions against the hazards of vehicle operation.

Respect and follow all posted trail signs. They are there to help you and others. 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 permits. Constantly watch the terrain ahead for sudden changes in slopes or obstacles,

such as rocks or stumps, that may cause loss of stability, resultin g in tip over or rollover.

It is also wise to know the terrain condition on the other side of a hill or bank. All too often there exists a sharp drop-off that is impossible to negotiate or descend.

Whenever there is the slightest doubt that the vehicle can safely negotiate an obstacle or a particular piece of terrain, always choose an alternate rout

Always use proper riding techniques to avoid vehicle overturns on hills and rough terrain and in turns.

Body Position

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 on the footpegs. To minimize the possibility of a leg or foot inj the footpegsat all times. Do not directyour toes outwards nor extend your feet out to assist in turning as they can be hit or be snagged on passing obstacles, or may come into contact with the wheels.

Even though there is a suspension on this vehicle, there are “washboard” or rough terrain conditionsthat will make you feel uncomfortable an injury. “Posting” or riding in a crouched position will often be required. Slow down and allow your flexed legs to absorb part of the impact energy.

If you do g e t into a slide or skid, it may help to turn the handlebar in the direction of the skid until you regain control. Never jam the brakes and lock the wheels.

WARNING

The tires of this v ehicle are not suited for paved road use. Also this vehicle is not equipped with a rear differential (rear wheels are always turning at the same speed). For these reasons, pavement may seriously affect the handling and control of the vehicle.

Braking

Always keep both hands on handlebars and feet on footpegs when braking. Practice braking to get familiar with the brake response .

– Do it at low speed first, then increase the speed. – Practice braking in stra igh t line at different speeds and different braking force. – Practice emergency braking; optimal braking is obtained in straight line, with

high force applied, without locking the wheels. Remember, braking distance depends on vehicle speed, load and the type of surface. Also, the tires and brakes conditions play a major role.

NOTE: If going forward 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.

Reverse Operation

When operating in reverse, check that the path behind the vehicle is free of people or obstacles. Proceed slowly and avoid sha rp turns.

When riding on a 2-UP model, take into account that the passenger can obstruct your view. Disembark the passenger if necessary.

We recommend sitting on your ATV when operating in reverse. Avoid standing up. Your weight could shift forward against throttle lever, causing an unexpected acceleration.

Obstacles

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 approa ch 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 (operator) or grab handles (passenger on 2-UP models) firmly. Place body weight rearwards (operator and passenger 2-UP models) 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 riding on 2-UP models, the operator is responsible for the safe senger; in doubt, disembark the passenger before proceeding.

Due to configuration, this vehicle has excellent climbing ability, so much so that it is possible to tip over before traction is lost. For example, it is comm o n to encounter terrain situations w here 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 moves rearward, a tip over 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 altern ate route. Be aware of side hilling dangers when doing so. Re fer to

This vehicle can climb slopes that are steeper than it can safely descend. Therefore, it is essential to ensure that a safe route exists to descend a slope before you climb it.

Side Hilling

This is one of the most risky types of riding since it ma y drastically change the balance of the vehicle. It should be avoided whenever possible. However, if it is necessary to do so , 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.

Avoid all objects or depressions that will intensify the raising of one side of the vehicle higher than the other, thus causing rollover.

WARNING

Do not try to stop or save the vehicle from damage.

Crossing Water

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 m ay occur. Do not attempt to enter the water at high speed.

RIDING THE VEH ICLE

On 2-UP models, the operator is responsible for the safety of the passenger; in doubt, do not attempt to cross.

Ice will also affect the control of the vehicle. Slow down and do not “gun” the throttle. This will only result in spinning of the tires and possible tip over of the vehicle or passenger ejection (2-UP models). Avoid rapid braking. This again will possibly result in an uncontrolled slide and tip over of the vehicle or passenger ejection (2-UP models). Slush should be avoided at all times since it could block the operation or controls of the vehicle.

Riding on Snow Covered Surfaces

When performing the pre-ride inspection, pay special attent ion to locations on the vehicle where snow and/o r ice accumulations may obstruct v isibility of the taillight and reflectors, clog ventilation openings, block the radiator and fan, and interfere with the mov em ent of control levers, switches and brake pedal. Before starting with your ATV check the steering, throttle and brake lever and pedal controls for interference free operation.

Whenever an ATV is ridden on a snow covered drive path the tire grip is generally reduced causing the vehicle to react differently to control inputs from the op On low grip surfaces, the steering responses are not as crisp and precise, stopping distances are lengthened and acceleratio n becomes sluggish. Slow down and do not "gun" the throttle. This will only result in spinning of the tires an d po over steering slide of the vehicle. Avoid hard braking. This will possibly result in a straight line slide of the vehicle. Again, the best advice is to safely reduce speed in anticipation of a maneuver so to give yourself time and dista hicle control before it spins out of your control.

As you drive your ATV over a loose snow covered surface, snow d picked up in the wake turbulence of the m oving vehicle and transported to contact and accumulate or melt on some exposed components including rotating parts like brake discs. Water, snow or ice may affect the respon system of your ATV. Even when not required to reduce vehicle speed apply brakes frequently to prevent ice or snow accumulation and to dry brake pads and discs. While doing so in low risk driving situations yo yourself alerted to how the vehicle reacts to your control inputs. Always keep brake pedal, footrests, floor boards, brake and throttle levers free of snow and ice. Frequently wipe snow off seat, hand grips, h

RIDING THE VEHICLE

At the end of each rid e it is a good practice to clean the vehicle body and all moving components (brakes, steering components, drivelines, controls, radiator fan etc.) from any snow or ice accumulations. Wet snow will turn to ice during the shut down period and become more difficult to remove at the next pre-ride inspection.

Riding in snow may reduce the brakes stopping capability. Safely reduce speed and allow greater distance for braking. Snow projection may cause ice build up or snow accumulation on brake components and controls. Apply brakes frequently to prevent ice or snow a ccumulation.

Riding on Sand

Riding on sand, 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 (2-UP models), slow down even more.

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 n 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 remem when riding on a 2-UP model that the vehicle handling and stability may b e affected when riding with a passenger.

Riding on Loose Stones

Riding on loo se stones or gravel is very similar to riding on ice steering of vehicle possibly causing it to slide or tip ove r especially at high speeds (resulting in operator and passenger ejection (2-UP models).

Again, the best advice is to slow down and be watchful of the conditions. When you ride with a passenger (2-UP models), slow down even more.

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 another rider. Never do it deliberately.

WARNING

The vehicle handling, stability and braking distance are affected when loading racks and using the vehicle. Correct loading and weight distribution are therefore important. Never overload, tow or carry cargo improperly. Always ensure the cargo is safely secured and properly distributed on the rack(s) before operating the vehicle. Safely reduce speed according to terrain conditions when carrying cargo or pulling a trailer, and avoid hills and rough terrain. Allow greater distance for braking, especially on inclined surfaces and when a passenger (2-UP models) is on board. Be careful not to skid or slide. Always secure cargo as low as possible on the rack(s) to reduce the effect of a higher center of gravity. Failure to follow the recommendations here could cause changes in vehicle handling which couldleadtoanaccident.

Any load carried on the vehicle including a passenger (2-UP models) and/or the carrying rack(s) will affect the handling, stability and braking distanc the vehicle.

WARNING

On steep downhills, the engine speed limiter may not prevent the vehicle from accelerating beyond this speed.

The normal key limits the vehicle rate of acceleration and the vehicle speed to 70 km/h (43 MPH).

This key may be useful for riders who prefer more gradual acceleration, or for ridin g in environmen ts whe re full speed and high acceleration are not desirable. For example, in narrow, winding trails, operators may prefer the normal key.

Performance Key

The performance key is grey and allows the user to access the full torque of the engine as well as the top speed of the vehicle.

This may be useful for riders who prefer crisper throttle response, and for environments where higher speeds and greater acceleration are appropriate. For example, in wide-open, straight trails, operators may prefer the performance key.
