GENERAL PRECAUTIONS
Avoid Carbon Monoxide
Poisoning
All engine exhaust contains carbon
monoxide, a deadly gas. Breathing car-
bon monoxide can cause headaches,
dizziness, drowsiness, nausea, confu-
sion and eventually death.
Carbon monoxide is a colorless, odor-
less, tasteless gas that may be present
even if you do not see or smell any en-
gine 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 symp-
toms 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 ven-
tilated 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 dangerous levels.
– Never 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 en-
gine. To reduce the risk of fire or explo-
sion, follow these instructions:
– Use only an approved red gasoline
container to store fuel.
– Never fill the gasoline container in
the vehicle cargo bed or on the ve-
hicle - an electrical static discharge
may ignite the fuel.
– For refueling, strictly adhere to in-
structions 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.
Avoid Burns from Hot Parts
Certain components become hot dur-
ing operation. Avoid contact with
those parts during and shortly after
operation to avoid burns.
Accessories and
Modifications
Any modifications or addition of acces-
sories may affect the handling of your
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 ac-
cordingly.
Do not tamper with unauthorized mod-
ifications or install equipment not
specifically certified by BRP for the
vehicle. These modifications have not
been tested by BRP and they may in-
crease the risk of injury or loss of con-
trol, or render the vehicle illegal to ride.
As an example, tampering 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.
10 _______ SAFETY INFORMATION ________

SPECIAL SAFETY MESSAGES
THIS VEHICLE IS NOT A TOY AND CAN BE HAZARDOUS TO OPERATE.
– This vehicle handles differently from other vehicles including motorcycles
and cars. A collision or rollover can occur quickly, if you fail to take proper
precautions, even during routine maneuvers such as turning and driving on hills
or over obstacles.
SEVERE INJURY OR DEATH can result if you do not comply with the following in-
structions:
– Read this Operator's Guide and all on-product safety labels carefully and follow
the operating procedures described. Watch and pay attention to the
SAFETY
VIDEO
before operating the vehicle.
– Always follow this age recommendation: A person under 16 years old should
never operate this vehicle.
– Never carry a passenger on this vehicle unless you are operating a 2-UP model.
Passenger(s) affect balance and steering and increase risk of losing control.
– On 1-UP models, do not make any modifications to accommodate a passenger
or use racks to carry a passenger.
– 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 col-
lision with another vehicle.
– Never take place on this vehicle without wearing an approved helmet of the
proper size and other required riding gears. Refer to
RIDING GEAR in RIDING
THE VEHICLE
for detailed information.
– Never use this vehicle if you are tired, ill or with drugs or alcohol. Your reaction
time and judgement is greatly affected under these conditions.
– 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. Al-
ways 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 terrain.
Always be especially cautious on these kinds of terrain.
– Always follow proper procedures for turning as described in
RIDING TECH-
NIQUES
in this Operator's Guide.
– Never operate this vehicle on hills too steep for the vehicle or for your abilities.
– Always follow proper procedures for climbing hills as described in
RIDING
TECHNIQUES
in this Operator's Guide. Check the terrain carefully before you
start up any hill. Never climb hills with excessively slippery or loose surfaces.
– Always follow proper procedures for going down hills and for braking on hills as
described in
RIDING TECHNIQUES in this Operator's Guide. 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 in this Operator's Guide. Avoid hills with excessively
slippery or loose surfaces.
________ SAFETY INFORMATION ________ 11

SPECIAL SAFETY MESSAGES
– 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 climbing
a hill. If you stall or roll backwards, follow the driving technique procedures as
described in
RIDING TECHNIQUES in this Operator's Guide.
– 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
RIDING
TECHNIQUES
in this Operator's Guide.
– 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 out of control. If you are operating a 2-UP model and
have a passenger on-board, never attempt skidding or sliding; overturn or
passenger ejection may occur.
– 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.
– 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. Take into
account that on a 2-UP model the passenger can obstruct your view.
– BRP recommends sitting on your ATV when operating in reverse. Avoid stand-
ing up. Your weight could shift forward against throttle lever, causing an unex-
pected acceleration and may lead to a loss of control.
– Never exceed the stated load limits for this vehicle including operator, passen-
ger (2-UP models) and all other loads and added accessories. Cargo should be
properly distributed and securely attached. Reduce speed and follow instruc-
tions in this guide for carrying cargo or pulling a trailer. Allow greater distance
for braking.
– Always inspect and confirm the safe operating condition of your vehicle prior to
ride. Refer to
PRE-RIDE INSPECTION . Always follow the maintenance sched-
ules as described in this Operator's Guide. Refer to
MAINTENANCE section.
– 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
SPECIFICATIONS
in this guide.
– Riding your vehicle too fast for your skills or the conditions may result in injury.
Apply only enough throttle to proceed safely. Statistics show that high speed
turns usually result in mishaps and injury. Always remember that this vehicle is
heavy! Its pure weight alone may entrap you should it fall resulting in injury.
– This vehicle is not designed for jumping, nor can it fully absorb the high impact
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.
12 _______ SAFETY INFORMATION ________

SPECIAL SAFETY MESSAGES
– The tires of this vehicle are not suited for paved road use.
– This vehicle is not designed for jumping, nor can it fully absorb the high impact
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 your passenger (2-UP models)
and should be avoided at all times.
2-UP Models
Driver must:
– Not forget his responsibility for the safety of the passenger.
– Inform the passenger concerning the basic rules for a safe ride.
– Instruct the passenger to read the vehicle’s safety labels and to watch the
SAFETY VIDEO .
– Always practice the maneuvers described in this Operator's Guide without and
with a passenger. Greater skills are required with a passenger.
– Always remember that the vehicle handling and stability may be affected when
riding with a passenger. Safely reduce speed. Use proper judgement. If in
doubt, do not attempt and disembark the passenger before executing any
maneuver.
– Always remember that the vehicle braking distance may be longer when riding
with a passenger. Allow greater distance for braking.
– Never carry passenger on a 2-UP model if the passenger seat is not installed.
– Never carry more than one (1) passenger. Do not allow passenger to sit any-
where else than the designated passenger' seat.
– Never carry a passenger if you judge his ability or judgement insufficient to con-
centrate on the terrain conditions and adapt accordingly.
– Never carry a passenger who has used drugs or alcohol, or is tired or ill. These
slow reaction time and impair judgment.
Passenger must:
– Be capable of resting his feet on the footrests and his hands on grab handles
when seated on this vehicle.
– Never take place on this vehicle without wearing an approved helmet (including
a chin guard) that fits properly. The passenger should also wear eye protection
(goggles or face shield), gloves, boots, long sleeved shirt or jacket, and long
pants.
– Be seated on the designated passenger's seat.
– Always keep hands on grab handles and feet on the footrests during operation.
Never hold on to the operator.
– Never get up during vehicle operation. An excessive movement could cause
loss of control.
– Pay attention to vehicle and operator movements.
– Not wait and tell the driver to slow down or stop if you feel uncomfortable or in-
secure for any reason.
