RIDING THE VEHICLE While reading this Operator’s Guide, remember that: WARNING Indicates a potential hazard that, if not avoided, could result in serious injury or death. 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 SAFETY DVD that came with this vehicle.
RIDING THE VEHICLE Pre-Ride Inspection WARNING Perform a pre-ride inspection before each ride to detect any potential problem that could occur during operation. The pre-ride inspection can help you monitor wear and deterioration before they become a problem. Correct any problem that you discover to reduce the risk of a breakdown or crash. See an authorized Can-Am dealer if necessary. Before using this vehicle, the operator and/or an adult should always perform the following pre-ride inspection check list.
RIDING THE VEHICLE ITEMS TO BE INSPECTED Seat Service and storage compartments Chassis and suspension INSPECTION TO PERFORM ✔ Ensure operator seat is properly installed and latched. Check if service and storage compartments are properly latched. Check underneath vehicle for any debris on chassis or suspension, properly clean chassis and suspension.
RIDING THE VEHICLE Clothing Actual weather conditions should help you decide how to dress. Always dress for the coldest weather expected. Thermal underwear next to the skin provides good insulation. It is important that the operator always wears the appropriate protective clothing 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.
RIDING THE VEHICLE Carrying a Passenger This vehicle is designed specifically to carry an operator only. Even with a long seat, this vehicle is not designed nor intended to carry passenger(s). Carrying passenger(s) may affect the stability and your control of the vehicle. Carrying Loads Never load cargo on this vehicle. Recreational Riding Respect the rights and limitations of others. Stay away from areas designated for other types of off road use.
RIDING THE VEHICLE Chasing wildlife is in many areas 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.
RIDING THE VEHICLE When operating in reverse, check that the path behind the vehicle is free of people or obstacles. Proceed slowly and avoid sharp turns. BRP recommends that you remain seated on your ATV when operating in reverse. Avoid standing up. Your weight could shift forward against the throttle lever causing an unexpected acceleration and loss of control. When stopped or parked, always apply the parking brake. This is especially important when parking on a slope.
RIDING THE VEHICLE WARNING Avoid negotiating drop-offs. Reverse and select an alternate route. Riding on Snow Covered Surfaces When performing the pre-ride inspection, pay special attention to locations on the vehicle where snow and/or ice accumulations may obstruct visibility of the lights and reflectors, clog ventilation openings, or interfere with the movement of the control levers and switches.
RIDING THE VEHICLE At the end of each ride it is a good practice to clean the vehicle body and all moving components (brakes, steering components, drive lines, controls, 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 Techniques Riding your vehicle too fast for the conditions may result in injury. Apply only enough throttle to proceed safely.
RIDING THE VEHICLE The tires of this vehicle 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. Riding on roads or soft shoulders may confuse other road users, especially if your daytime running lights are on.
RIDING THE VEHICLE 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 the vehicle may possibly tip over. Avoid rapid braking. This again can result in an uncontrolled slide and the vehicle may possibly tip over. Slush should be avoided at all times since it could block the operation or controls of the vehicle. Riding in snow may reduce the brakes stopping capability.
RIDING THE VEHICLE Respect and follow all posted trail signs. They are there to help you and others. 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... approach at a 90° angle.
RIDING THE VEHICLE V00A0XL 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.
RIDING THE VEHICLE 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. 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. Do not try to stop or save the vehicle from damage.
IMPORTANT ON PRODUCT LABELS Hang Tag This vehicle comes with a hang tag containing important information. Any person who rides this vehicle should read and understand this information before riding.
IMPORTANT ON PRODUCT LABELS Vehicle Safety Labels Read and understand all the safety labels on your vehicle. The safety labels on your vehicle should be considered permanent parts of the vehicle. If missing or damaged, they can be replaced free of charge. See an authorized Can-Am dealer. NOTE: The following illustrations used in this Operator’s Guide are a general representation only. Your model may differ.
