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 gasoline con-
tainer to store fuel.
– Strictly adhere to instructions in
FUEL subsection.
– 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
Do not make unauthorized modifica-
tions, or use attachments or acces-
sories that are not approved by BRP.
Since these changes have not been
tested by BRP, they may increase the
risk of crashes or injury, and can render
the vehicle illegal.
See your authorized Can-Am dealer for
available accessories for your vehicle.

SPECIAL SAFETY MESSAGES
THIS VEHICLE IS NOT A TOY AND CAN BE HAZARDOUS TO OPERATE.
– This vehicle handles differently from other vehicles. A collision or rollover can
occur quickly, if you fail to take proper precautions, even during routine maneu-
vers 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
DVD 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. Passenger(s) affect balance and steer-
ing and increase risk of losing control.
– Never operate this vehicle on any paved surfaces, including sidewalks, drive-
ways, parking lots and streets.
– Never operate this vehicle on any public street, road or highway, even a dirt or
gravel one.
– Never take place on this vehicle without wearing an approved helmet that fits
properly. You should also wear eye protection (goggles or face shield), gloves,
boots, long sleeved shirt or jacket, and long pants.
– 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 operate at excessive speeds. Always go at a speed that is proper for the
terrain, visibility, and operating conditions, and your experience.
– Never attempt wheelies, jumps, or other stunts.
– Always inspect and confirm the safe operating condition of your vehicle prior to
ride. Always follow the inspection and maintenance procedures and schedules
described in this Operator's Guide.
– Always keep both hands on the handlebars and both feet on the footrests of the
vehicle during operation.
– 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 further in this Opera-
tor's Guide. Practice turning at low speeds before attempting to turn at faster
speeds. Do not turn at excessive speed.
– Never operate this vehicle on hills too steep for the vehicle or for your abilities.
Practice on smaller hills before attempting larger hills.
– Always follow proper procedures for climbing hills as described further in
this Operator's Guide. Check the terrain carefully before you start up any hill.
Never climb hills with excessively slippery or loose surfaces. Shift your weight
forward. Never open the throttle suddenly or make sudden gear changes.
Never go over the top of any hill at high speed.
– Always follow proper procedures for going down hills and for braking on hills as
described further in this Operator's Guide. Check the terrain carefully before
you start down any hill. Shift your weight backward.
________ SAFETY INFORMATION ________ 9

SPECIAL SAFETY MESSAGES
– Always follow proper procedures for crossing the side of a hill as described fur-
ther in this Operator's Guide. Avoid hills with excessively slippery or loose sur-
faces. Shift your weight to the uphill side of the vehicle.
– Always use proper procedures if you stall or roll backwards when climbing
a hill. To avoid stalling, use proper range and maintain a steady speed when
climbing a hill. If you stall or roll backwards, follow the special procedure for
braking described in this Operator's Guide. Dismount on the uphill side or to a
side if pointed straight uphill. Turn the vehicle around and remount, following
the procedure described further 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 further 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.
– Never operate this vehicle in fast flowing water or in water deeper than that
specified in this Operator's Guide. Remember that wet brakes may have
reduced stopping 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.
– 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 loss of control.
– Always use the size and type tires specified further in this Operator's Guide.
Always maintain proper tire pressure as described further in this Operator's
Guide.
– Never modify this vehicle through improper installation or use of accessories.
Only use BRP's approved accessories. NEVER install passenger seat or use
the cargo area to carry a passenger.
– Never exceed the stated load limits for this vehicle including operator, all
other loads and added accessories. Cargo should be properly distributed and
securely attached. Reduce speed and follow instructions in this manual for
carrying cargo or pulling a trailer. Allow greater distance for braking.
– Never operate the vehicle if the controls do not function normally.
