The very nature of off-road operation is dangerous. Any terrain, which has not
been specially prepared to carry vehicles, presents an inherent danger where
terrain substance, shape and steepness are unpredictable. The terrain itself
presents a continual element of danger, which must be knowingly accepted by
anyone venturing over it.
An operator who takes a vehicle off-road should always exercise the utmost care
in selecting the safest path and keeping close watch on the terrain ahead of him.
The vehicle should never be operated by anyone who is not completely familiar
with the driving instructions applicable to the vehicle, nor should it be operated
on steep or treacherous terrain.

Care, caution, experience and driving skill are the best precautions against the
hazards of vehicle operation.
Whenever there is the slightest doubt that the vehicle can safely negotiate an ob-
stacle or a particular piece of terrain, always choose an alternate route.
In off-road operation, power and traction, not speed, are important. Never drive
faster than visibility and your own ability to select a safe route permit. Always go
slowly and be extra careful when operating on unfamiliar terrain. Always be alert
to changing terrain conditions when operating this vehicle. Be especially cautious
on excessively rough, slippery, icy or loose terrain.
Constantly watch the terrain ahead for sudden changes in slopes or obstacles,
such as rocks or stumps, that may cause loss of stability, resulting in tip over or
rollover.
Never operate the vehicle if the controls do not function normally. See an author-
ized Can-Am Off-road dealer.
