Hauling a Trailer
Riding this vehicle with a trailer substantially increases the risk of toppling, espe-
cially on inclined slopes. If a trailer is used make sure that its hitch is compatible
with the one on the vehicle. Make sure the trailer is horizontal with the vehicle.
(In some instances a special extension may have to be installed on the vehicle
hitch). Use security chains to secure the trailer with the vehicle. This vehicle may
require additional stopping distance if hauling heavy loads, especially on inclined
surfaces and when a passenger (2-UP models) is on board. Be careful not to
skid or slide. When stopped or parked, block the vehicle and trailer wheels from
possible movement. Always make sure load is evenly distributed on the trailer.
Use caution when disconnecting a loaded trailer; it or its load may topple on you or
others. Do not turn at high speeds. Always use low gear range and slow down a
lot.
Working with your Vehicle
Your vehicle can help you perform a number of different LIGHT tasks ranging
from snow removal to pulling wood or carrying cargo. A variety of accessories
are available from your authorized Can-Am dealer. However, always respect the
load and capacities of the vehicle. Overloading of the vehicle can overstress the
components and cause failure. To prevent possible injury, it is equally important
to follow the instructions and warnings that accompany the accessory. Avoid
any physical exertion through lifting or pulling of heavy loads or manpowering the
vehicle. (Continue to read
RECREATIONAL RIDING
below.)
Recreational Riding
Respect the rights and limitations of others. Stay away from areas designated
for other types of off road use. This includes snowmobile trails, equestrian trails,
cross country ski trails, mountain bike trails, etc. Never assume there are no other
users on the trail. Always stay to the complete right of the trail and do not zigzag
to one side of the trail then the other. Be prepared to stop or pull off to the side if
another trail user appears in front of you.
Join a local ATV club. It will provide you with a map and advice or inform you where
you can ride. If a club does not exist in your area, help to start one. Group riding and
club activities provide a pleasurable, social experience.
