A UTV CAN BE HAZARDOUS TO OPERATE.
A UTV handles differently from other vehicles including motorcycles,
ATVs and cars. A rollover can occur quickly, even during routine
maneuvers such as turning and driving on hills or over obstacles, if you
fail to take proper precautions.
SERIOUS INJURY OR DEATH
can result if you do not follow these instructions.
Read this manual and all labels carefully and follow the operating
procedures described.
Always be sure the driver and passenger are wearing seat belts.
Never allow anyone who is not an adult to operate this UTV.
Never permit a guest to operate this UTV unless the guest has read
this manual and all product labels.
The driver and passenger must wear approved off-road motorcycle
-type helmets that fit properly. The driver and passenger should
also wear eye protection (glasses or face shields), gloves, boots,
long-sleeved shirt or jacket, and long pants.
As with any off-road-capable vehicle, there is a risk of tip over or
rollover under certain conditions. Uneven terrain or slopes which
pitch the vehicle sideways, turning too fast or sharp, or a
combination of conditions increase the risk of tip over.
If you are in a situation where the vehicle is tipping over, do not put
your arm and/or leg outside the vehicle, do not try to stop tipping
with your arm or leg. You could be severely injured. You could suffer
a crushed hand, arm, leg, or foot, if part of your body is caught
underneath the vehicle.
You must keep your arms and legs inside the vehicle until it has
stopped moving.
Never consume alcohol or drugs before or while operating this UTV.
Never operate at excessive speeds. Always travel at a speed which
is proper for the terrain, visibility and operating conditions, and your
experience.
Never attempt wheelies, jumps or other stunts.
Always inspect your UTV each time you use it to make sure it is in
safe operating condition. Always follow the inspection and
maintenance procedures and schedules described in this manual.

Always keep both hands, arms, feet, and legs inside the vehicle at
all times during operation. Keep your feet on the floorboard. Never
hold onto the enclosure except when using the handgrip inside the
enclosure. Otherwise, your hand could be injured if it is caught
between the enclosure and an obstacle outside the vehicle.
Always keep both hands on the steering wheel when driving.
Never wrap your thumbs and fingers around the steering wheel.
This is particularly important when driving in rough terrain. The front
wheels will move right and left as they respond to the terrain, and
this movement will be felt in the steering wheel. A sudden jolt could
wrench the steering wheel around, and your thumbs or fingers
could be injured if they are in the way of the steering wheel spokes.
Always go slowly and be extra careful when operating on unfamiliar
terrain. Always be alert to changing terrain conditions when
operating the UTV.
Never operate on excessively rough, slippery or loose terrain.
Always follow proper procedures for turning as described in this
manual. Practice turning at low speeds before attempting to turn at
faster speeds. Do not turn at excessive speed.
Always have the UTV checked by an authorized dealer if it has
been involved in an accident.
Never operate UTV on hills too steep for the UTV or for your
abilities. Practice on smaller hills before attempting larger hills.
Always follow proper procedures for climbing hills as described in
this manual. Check the terrain carefully before you start up any hill.
Never climb hills with excessively slippery or loose surfaces. 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 in this manual. Check the terrain
carefully before you start down any hill. Never go down a hill at high
speed. Avoid going down a hill at an angle which would cause the
vehicle to lean sharply to one side. Go straight down the hill where
possible.
Always follow proper procedures for crossing the side of a hill as
described in this manual. Avoid hills with excessively slippery or
loose surfaces. Never attempt to turn the UTV around on any hill.
Avoid crossing the side of a steep hill if possible.
Always use proper procedures if you stall or roll backwards when

OWNER’S/OPERATOR’S MANUAL
1. INTRODUCTION

climbing a hill. To avoid stalling, maintain a steady speed when
climbing a hill. If you stall or roll backwards, follow the special
procedure for braking described in this manual.
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 this manual.
Always be careful of skidding of sliding. On slippery surfaces, such
as ice, go slowly and be very cautious in order to reduce the chance
of skidding or sliding out of control.
Avoid operating the UTV through deep or fast flowing water. Avoid
water which exceeds the recommended maximum depth. Go slowly,
carefully avoiding sudden movements, maintain a slow and steady
forward motion, do not make sudden turns or stops, and do not
make sudden throttle changes.
Wet brakes may have reduced stopping ability. Test your brakes
after leaving water. If necessary, apply them lightly several times to
let friction dry out the pads.
Always be sure there are no obstacles or people behind you when
you operate in reverse. When it is safe to proceed in reverse, go
slowly. Avoid turning at sharp angles in reverse.
Always use the size and type of tires specified in this manual.
Always maintain proper tire pressure as described in this manual.
Never modify A UTV through improper installation or use of
accessories.
Never jump or stand on the rear seat when driving.
