12 SAFETY INFORMATION
GGEENNEERRAALL PPRREECCAAUUTTIIOONNSS
AAvvooiidd CCaarrbboonn MMoonnooxxiiddee PPooiissoonniinngg
All engine exhaust contains carbon monoxide, a deadly gas. Breathing carbon
monoxide can cause headaches, dizziness, drowsiness, nausea, 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 mon-
oxide 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 fresh air and seek medical
treatment.
To prevent serious injury or death from carbon monoxide:
– Never run the vehicle in poorly ventilated or partially enclosed 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 danger-
ous levels.
– Never run the vehicle outdoors where engine exhaust can be drawn into a
building through openings such as windows and doors.
AAvvooiidd GGaassoolliinnee FFiirreess aanndd OOtthheerr HHaazzaarrddss
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.
– The container must be firmly secured to the vehicle and placed so that it does
not touch the ground in the event of an overturning. BRP LinQ containers are
highly recommended.
– Never fill a gasoline container on the vehicle. An electrical static discharge
may ignite the fuel.
– For refueling, strictly adhere to instructions in
Fuel .
– Never 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.
AAvvooiidd BBuurrnnss ffrroomm HHoott PPaarrttss
Certain components like brake rotors and exhaust components become hot dur-
ing operation. Avoid contact with those parts during and shortly after operation to
avoid burn wounds.
AAcccceessssoorriieess aanndd MMooddiiffiiccaattiioonnss
Any modifications or addition of accessories approved by BRP may affect the
handling of your vehicle. It is important to take the time to get familiar with the

SAFETY INFORMATION 13
vehicle once modifications are made to understand how to adapt your driving be-
havior accordingly.
Avoid installing equipment not specifically approved by BRP for the vehicle and
avoid unauthorized modifications. These modifications and equipment have not
been tested by BRP and may create hazards. For example, they could:
– Create a loss of control and increase risk of crash
– Cause overheating or short circuits increasing the risk of fire or burn injuries
– Affect the protection features provided by the vehicle.
– Affect the behavior of the trailer when the vehicle is transported
– Cause a risk of losing objects on the road when transported.
Your vehicle may also become illegal to ride.

PRE-RIDE INSPECTION . Always follow the maintenance
schedules as described in this Operator's Guide. Refer to
MAINTENANCE .
– On 1-UP models, do not make any modifications to accommodate a passen-

– Never carry a passenger on this vehicle. Passenger(s) affect balance and
steering and increase risk of losing control.
– The tires of this vehicle are not suited for paved road use.
– Never operate this vehicle on any paved surfaces, including sidewalks, drive-
ways, parking lots and streets.
– This vehicle is not designed to ride on paved surfaces; if you must shortly use
the vehicle on such surfaces, avoid abrupt inputs to steering, accelerator and
brakes. Reduce your speed.
– This vehicle is not designed for riding on roads or highways (in most places it
is an illegal practice). Riding your vehicle on roads or highways could cause a
collision with another vehicle.
– Never operate this ATV after using drugs or alcohol, when tired or ill. This
must be applied also to the passenger (if applicable). Your reaction time and
judgement is greatly affected under these conditions. Always operate your
ATV prudently.
– Never attempt wheelies, jumps, or other stunts.
– Never operate at excessive speeds. Always go at a speed that is proper for
the terrain, visibility, and operating conditions, and your experience.
– Always go slowly and be extra careful when operating on unfamiliar terrain.
Always be alert to changing terrain conditions when operating this vehicle.
– Never operate on excessively rough, slippery or loose terrain until you have
learned and practiced the skills necessary to control this vehicle on such ter-
rain. Always be especially cautious on these kinds of terrain.
– Always follow proper procedures for turning as described in
RIDING
TECHNIQUES
.
– Never operate this vehicle on hills too steep for the vehicle or for your
abilities.

SAFETY INFORMATION 15
– Always follow proper procedures for going down hills and for braking on hills
as described in
RIDING TECHNIQUES . Check the terrain carefully before
you start down any hill.
– Always follow proper procedures for crossing the side of a hill as described in
RIDING TECHNIQUES . Avoid hills with excessively slippery or loose
surfaces.
– Always use proper procedures if you stall or roll backwards when climbing a
hill. To avoid stalling, use low gear and maintain a steady speed when climb-
ing a hill. If you stall or roll backwards, follow the driving technique procedures
as described in
RIDING TECHNIQUES .
– 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 fol-
low proper procedures when operating over obstacles as described in
RID-
ING TECHNIQUES
.
– 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 re-
duce the chance of skidding out of control.
– Always be sure there are no obstacles or people behind the vehicle when you
operate in reverse. When it is safe to proceed in reverse, go slowly.
– Never exceed the stated load limits for this vehicle including operator, all oth-
er loads and added accessories. Cargo should be properly distributed and se-
curely attached. Reduce speed and follow instructions in this guide for
carrying cargo or pulling a trailer. Allow greater distance for braking.
– This vehicle is not designed for jumping, nor can it fully absorb the high im-
pact energy generated during manoeuvres such as jumping which, can be
passed on to you, the operator. Performing wheelies can cause the vehicle to
flip over onto you. Both practices have a high risk for you and should be
avoided at all times.
– Never operate this vehicle through deep or fast flowing water. Water should
never exceed footrests. Remember that wet brakes may have reduced stop-
ping ability. Test your brakes after leaving water, mud or snow. If necessary,
apply them several times to let friction dry out the pads.
– Always keep in mind that braking distance is readily affected by but not limited
to; weather and terrain conditions, braking system and tire conditions, vehicle
speed and attitude, and vehicle load including towing. Remember to adjust
your driving accordingly.
– BRP recommends sitting on your ATV when operating in reverse. Avoid
standing up. Your weight could shift forward against throttle lever, causing an
unexpected acceleration and may lead to a loss of control.
– Never operate the vehicle if the controls do not function normally.
– Always maintain proper tire pressure. When replacing tires, use only the rec-
ommended tire size and type. For tire information, refer to
TECHNICAL
SPECIFICATIONS
in this guide.
– Riding your vehicle too fast for your skills or the conditions may result in in-
jury. Apply only enough throttle to proceed safely. Statistics show that mis-
haps and injury usually result from high speed turns. Always remember that
this vehicle is heavy! Its pure weight alone may entrap you should it fall result-
ing in injury.
– Never modify this vehicle through improper installation or use of accessories.
Only use BRP's approved accessories.
