judgment” you have in others around you will help you make a better choice of
appropriate safe distance. This vehicle, like any other motorized vehicle, cannot
stop “on a dime”.
Before you ride, tell someone where you are planning to travel and your expected
time of return.
Depending on the length of your ride, carry additional tools or emergency equip-
ment. Find out where you can get additional gasoline. Be prepared for the possi-
ble conditions you may encounter. An emergency first aid kit should always be a
consideration.

One of the benefits of this vehicle is that it can take you off the beaten path away
from most communities. However, you should always respect nature and the
rights of others to enjoy it. Do not ride in environmentally sensitive areas. Do not
drive over forest crops or shrubs, nor cut down trees or take down fencing, nor
spin your wheels and destroy the terrain. “Tread Lightly”.
This vehicle can cause OHV wildfires if debris builds up near the exhaust or other
engine hot spots and ignites then falls off into dry grass. Avoid riding in wet
areas, through muskeg or tall grass, where debris can build up. Should you ride
in those areas, inspect and remove all debris from your engine and hot spots. Re-
fer to
vehicle care
for details.
Chasing wildlife is in many areas illegal. Wildlife can die of exhaustion after being
chased by a motorized vehicle. If you encounter animals on the trail, stop and ob-
serve quietly and with caution. It will be one of the better memories of your life.
Observe the rule “what you take in, carry out”. Do not litter. Do not start campfires
unless you have permission to do so, and then only away from dry areas. The
hazards you may create on the trail may cause injury to others or yourself, even
at a later date.
Respect farm lands. Always obtain the permission of the landowner before riding
on private land. Respect crops, farm animals and property lines.
Finally, do not pollute streams, lakes or rivers and do not modify the engine or ex-
haust system, or remove any of its components as it will alter the vehicle
emissions.
