SAFETY INFORMATION

AN ATV IS NOT A TOY AND CAN BE HAZARDOUS TO OPERATE. An ATV handles differently from other vehicles including motorcycles and cars. A collision can occur quickly, even during routine maneuvers, if you fail to take proper pre-cautions.

SEVERE INJURY OR DEATH can result if you do not follow these instructions:

Read this manual and all labels carefully and follow the operating procedures described.

Never operate an ATV without proper training or instruction. Beginners should receive training from a certified instructor.

Always follow the age recommendation:

-A child under 6 years old should never operate an ATV with engine size greater than 70cc.

-A child under 12 years old should never operate an ATV with engine size greater than 90cc.

-A child under 16 years old should never operate an ATV with engine size greater than 90cc.

Never allow a child under age 16 to operate an ATV without adult supervision, and never allow continued use of an ATV by a child if he or she does not have the abilities to operate it safely.

Never operate an ATV without wearing an approved motorcycle helmet that fits properly. You should also wear eye protection (goggles or face shield), gloves, boots, long-sleeved shirt or jacket, and long pants.

5

Never consume alcohol or drugs before or while operating this ATV.

Never operate at speeds too fast for your skills or the conditions. Always go at a speed that is proper for the terrain, visibility and operating conditions, and your experience.

Never attempt wheel, jump, or other stunt.

Always inspect your ATV each time you use it to make sure it is in safe operating condition. Always follow the inspection and maintenance procedures and schedules described in this manual.

Always keep both hands on the handlebars and both feet on the footboards of the ATV during operation.

Always go slowly and be extra careful when operating on unfamiliar terrain. Always be alert to changing terrain conditions when operating the ATV.

Never operate on excessively rough, slippery or loose terrain.

Always follow proper procedures for turning as described in this manual. Practice turning at low speeds before attempting to turn at faster speeds. Do not turn at excessive speed.

Never operate the ATV on hills.

Always follow proper procedures for climbing slopes as described in this manual. Check the terrain carefully before you start up any slope. Shift your weight forward. Never open the throttle suddenly. Never go over the top of a slope at high speed.

6

Always follow proper procedures for going down slopes and for braking on slopes as described in this manual. Check the terrain carefully before you start down any slope. Shift your weight backward. Never go down a slope at high speed. Avoid going down slope at an angle that would cause the vehicle to lean sharply to one side. Go straight down the slope where possible.

Never attempt to turn the ATV around on any slope until you have mastered the turning technique described in this manual on level ground. Avoid crossing the side of a steep slope if possible.

Always check for obstacles before operating in a new area. Never attempt to operate over large obstacles, such as large rocks or fallen trees. Always follow proper procedures when operating over obstacles as described in this manual.

Always be careful when skidding or sliding. Learn to safely control skidding or sliding by practicing at low speeds and on level, smooth terrain. On extremely slippery surfaces, such as ice, go slowly and be very cautious in order to reduce the chance of skidding or sliding out of control.

Never operate an ATV in fast flowing water or in water deeper than that recommended in this manual. Remember that wet brakes may have reduced stopping ability. Test your brakes after leaving water. If necessary, apply them several times to let friction dry out the linings.

Always use the size and type tires specified in this manual. Always maintain proper tire pressure as described in this manual.

Never modify an ATV through improper installation or use of accessories.

Never exceed the stated load capacity for an ATV. Cargo should be properly distributed and securely attached. Reduce speed and follow instructions in this manual for carrying cargo. Allow greater distance for braking.
