To decelerate:
When slowing down or stopping, release the throt-
tle and apply the brakes smoothly and evenly. As
you slow down, shift to a lower gear. Be sure that
the engine has sufficiently slowed before engaging
a lower gear. Improper use of the brakes or shift-
ing can cause the tires to lose traction, reducing
control and increasing the possibility of an acci-
dent.
WARNING
Make sure the engine has sufficiently slowed
before shifting to a lower gear. Engaging a low-
er gear when the engine speed is too high
could make the wheels stop rotating. This
could cause loss of control, an accident and
injury. It could also cause engine or drive train
damage.

Know the terrain where you ride. Ride cautiously in
unfamiliar areas. Stay alert for
holes, rocks, or
roots in the terrain, and
other hidden hazards
which may cause the ATV to upset.
WARNING
_ Go slowly and be extra careful when operating
this ATV on unfamiliar terrain. Always be alert
to changing terrain conditions when operating
the ATV. _
WARNING
_ Do not operate on excessively rough, slippery
or loose terrain until you have learned and
practiced the skills necessary to control the
ATV on such terrain. Failure to use extra care
when operating on excessively rough, slippery
or loose terrain could cause loss of traction or
vehicle control, which could result in an acci-
dent, including an overturn. _

CAUTION:_ Do not shift gears without releasing the throt-
tle. Damage to the engine or drive train may oc-
cur. _When slowing down or stopping, release the throt-
tle and apply the brakes smoothly and evenly. As
you slow down, shift to a lower gear. Be sure that
the engine has sufficiently slowed before engaging
a lower gear. Improper use of the brakes or shift-
ing can cause the tires to lose traction, reducing

CROSSING THROUGH SHALLOW WATER
The ATV can be used to cross slow moving, shal-
low water of up to a maximum of 35 cm in depth.
Before entering the water, choose your path care-
fully. Enter where there is no sharp drop off, and
avoid rocks or other obstacles which may be slip-
pery or upset the ATV. Drive slowly and carefully.
WARNING
_ Never operate this ATV in fast flowing water or
in water deeper than that specified in your
Owner’s Manual. Remember that wet brakes
may have reduced stopping ability. Test your
brakes after leaving water. If necessary, apply
them several times to let friction dry out the lin-
ings. If the ATV is operated through deep or
fast flowing water, the tires may float, causing
loss of traction and loss of control, which
could lead to an accident. _

TRAVERSÉE DES EAUX PEU PROFONDES
La conception du VTT lui permet de traverser des cours
d’eau à faible courant, dont la profondeur ne dépasse pas
35 cm. Vérifier attentivement le terrain avant de pénétrer
dans l’eau. S’assurer qu’il n’y a pas de renfoncements et
éviter les rochers et autres obstacles qui pourraient être
glissants ou qui risquent de faire capoter le VTT. Rouler
lentement et avec prudence.
AVERTISSEMENT
_ Ne jamais conduire un VTT dans un courant d’eau
trop rapide ou dans de l’eau dont la profondeur dé-
passe celle recommandée dans ce manuel. Ne pas
oublier que des freins mouillés peuvent réduire gran-
dement les capacités de freinage. Essayer les freins
après avoir roulé dans de l’eau. Si nécessaire, les ac-
tionner plusieurs fois pour que le frottement sèche les
garnitures. Si le VTT est conduit dans une eau pro-
fonde ou à courant rapide, les pneus pourraient flot-
ter, entraînant une perte de traction et de contrôle, ce
qui peut provoquer un accident. _
CRUCE DE AGUAS POCO PROFUNDAS
Con el ATV se pueden cruzar, a baja velocidad,
aguas poco profundas de hasta 35 cm de profundi-
dad. Antes de entrar en el agua, escoja el camino
cuidadosamente. Entre en un punto donde no exis-
tan caídas bruscas y evite las piedras u otros obstá-
culos que puedan hacer patinar o perder la estabili-
dad del ATV. Conduzca despacio y con precaución.
ADVERTENCIA
_ No conduzca este ATV en aguas rápidas o más
profundas de lo especificado en este Manual del
Propietario. Recuerde que si se mojan los frenos
puede disminuir su capacidad para detener la
máquina. Compruebe los frenos cuando salga
del agua. Si es necesario, aplíquelos varias ve-
ces para que el rozamiento seque los forros. Si
se conduce el ATV en aguas rápidas o profun-
das, los neumáticos pueden flotar dando lugar a
una pérdida de tracción y de control que podría
provocar un accidente. _
