HOW TO AVOID THE HAZARD Never transport inflammable or dangerous material. While reading this Operator’s Guide, remember that: WARNING Indicates a potential hazard that, if not avoided, could result in serious injury or death.
SAFETY WARNING To fully appreciate the pleasures and excitement of riding this vehicle, there are some basic rules and tips that you should follow. Some may be new to you while others may be common sense or obvious. Irrespective, we ask that you take a few minutes to read, with your child, this Operator's Guide completely before he operates this vehicle. Information in this Operator's Guide is limited.
Pre-operation Check WARNING The pre-operation check is very important prior to operating the vehicle. Always check the proper operation of critical controls, safety features and mechanical components before starting. If not done, severe injury or death might occur. Before using this vehicle, the operator and/or an adult should always: a) Apply parking brake and check if it operates properly. b) Check tire pressure and condition. c) Check wheels and bearings for wear and damage.
Clothing Actual weather conditions should help you decide how to dress. However, it is important that the operator always wear the appropriate protective clothing and apparel, including an approved helmet, eye protection, boots, gloves, long sleeved shirt and pants. This type of clothing will provide you protection from some of the minor hazards you may encounter en route. Operator must never wear loose clothing such as a scarf that may get entangled in the vehicle or on tree branches and shrubs.
Carrying Loads This vehicle is designed specifically to carry an operator only. Even with a long seat that provide unrestricted operator movements, it is not designed nor intended to carry passenger(s). Do not install passenger's seat or use the racks or their location to carry passenger(s). Carrying passenger(s) may affect the stability and your control of the vehicle. Never load cargo on this vehicle. Recreational Riding Respect the rights and limitations of others.
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-Highway Operation The very nature of off-highway operation is dangerous.
It is also wise to know the terrain condition on the other side of the hill or bank. All too often there exists a sharp drop-off that is impossible to negotiate or descend. Downhill Driving This vehicle can climb slopes that are steeper than it can safely descend. Therefore, it is essential to assure that a safe route exists to descend a slope before you climb it. Decelerating while negotiating a slippery downhill slope could “toboggan“ the vehicle.
V00A0UL Even though there is an adequate suspensions system on this vehicle there are “washboard” or rough terrain conditions that will make you feel uncomfortable and even cause back injury. “Posting“ or riding in a crouched position will often be required. Slow down and allow your flexed legs to absorb impact. This vehicle is not designed for riding on roads or highways. In most places it is an illegal practice.
V00A0VL Water will affect the braking 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.
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 next 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. Riding on loose stones or gravel is very similar to riding on ice. They will affect the steering of vehicle...
Uphill Keep your body weight forward towards the top of the hill. Keep your feet on the footpegs and shift into low gear then accelerate and when necessary, change gear quickly as you climb. Do not over-speed since this may cause the front of the vehicle to lift from the ground and fall back on you. If the hill is too steep and you cannot proceed or the vehicle begins to roll backwards, apply the brake, being careful not to slide.
Downhill Keep your body weight rearwards. Apply the brake gradually to prevent skidding. Do not “coast“ down the slope using solely engine compression or in neutral gear. V00A0YL While reading this Operator’s Guide, remember that: WARNING Indicates a potential hazard that, if not avoided, could result in serious injury or death.
Side hilling This is one of the most risky types of riding since it may drastically change the balance of the vehicle. It should be avoided wherever possible. If it is necessary to do so however, 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. Do not try to stop or save the vehicle from damage.
Routine Maintenance Once your ride completed, it is wise to remove any build up of snow, ice, mud and grime. Not only will this help you keep your vehicle longer and in good condition for resale but will eliminate potential hazards the next time you use the vehicle. Wash your vehicle in warm soapy water then allow it to dry. (A towel may help). Do not wash your vehicle outside during freezing weather. Apply appropriate lubrication as described in the MAINTENANCE section.

BREAK-IN PERIOD Engine Belt 4-Stroke Models 2-Stroke Models A break-in period of 10 operating hours is required before running the vehicle at sustained full throttle. A new belt requires a break-in period of 50 km (30 miles). Avoid strong acceleration/deceleration or high speed cruising. CAUTION: Never mix oil with fuel. During this period, maximum throttle should not exceed 3/4. However, brief full acceleration and speed variations contribute to a good break-in.
PRE-OPERATION CHECK WARNING The pre-operation check is very important prior to operating the vehicle. Always check the proper operation of critical controls, safety features and mechanical components before starting. If not done as specified here, severe injury or death might occur. • Start engine and drive forward slowly a few feet and apply all brakes individually to test them. Correct any problem you may have found. See an authorized Bombardier ATV dealer as necessary.
