SAFETY
Operator Safety
Never operate the vehicle on a frozen body of water unless you have
independently verified that the ice is sufficiently thick to support the weight and
moving force of the vehicle, you and your cargo, together with any other
vehicles in your party.
Operating on paved surfaces may affect the handling and control of the vehicle
and could result in loss of control. Avoid sudden turns or swift movement of the
handlebars.
Always remove the ignition key when the
vehicle is not in use to prevent unauthorized
use or accidental starting.
Always unlock the steering before starting the engine. See page 40.
Hot components can cause serious burns and fire. Do not touch hot exhaust
system components. Always keep combustible materials away from the exhaust
system.
