voir when the engine is cold (the coolant level
will vary with engine temperature).
The coolant level is satisfactory if it is be-
tween the minimum and maximum level
marks on the coolant reservoir. If the coolant
level is at or below the minimum level mark,
add additional coolant to bring the level up to
maximum level mark. If coolant is not avail-
able, add distilled water. Change the coolant
every two years. (See page 8-24.)NOTICEECB02120Hard water or salt water is harmful to the
engine. You may use soft water if you can-
not get distilled water.

As the owner/operator, it is your responsibility
to protect yourself and your passenger from
accidents, including rollovers. The Wolverine
has many features, including a protective
structure and seat belts, to help protect occu-
pants, but the best way to avoid injuries is to
avoid accidents. There is a risk of injury or
death in any accident, even with these safety
features.
Driver requirements
This vehicle is intended for use only by an
operator 16 or older with a valid motor ve-
hicle license. Check country laws for mini-
mum age requirements. 
The driver must be able to place both feet
flat on the floorboard while seated upright
with his/her back against the backrest.
 Do not drive after using drugs or alcohol.
 Remove the ignition key when the vehicle is
not in use to prevent unauthorized use of
the machine.
Parents:
Many countries have implemented new mo-
tor vehicle licensing requirements for young
drivers. These requirements are in response
to the disproportionately high rate of crashes
involving youthful drivers. As with automo-

biles, to promote safe driving behaviors, you
should supervise younger drivers and consid-
er setting rules and putting limits on how,
when, and where the Wolverine can be used.
Passenger requirements
This vehicle is designed for the operator and
one passenger. Allowing passengers to ride
improperly can lead to serious injury or death.
As the operator, you are responsible for your
passenger.
 Your passenger must be able to place both
feet on the floorboard while seated upright
with his/her back against the backrest.
 Your passenger must be able to reach and
hold the passenger handhold.
 Allow only one passenger in the vehicle and
only in the designated passenger seat. Do
not carry any other passengers. Do not car-
ry passengers in the cargo bed.
 Do not allow someone to ride as a passen-
ger who has been using drugs or alcohol. 
Do not allow children who need child safety
seats or booster seats in the Wolverine. The
seat belt is not designed to restrain auto-
motive child safety seats.
Occupant protection system
WARNING
EWB03350Do not make changes to the occupant pro-
tection system. If you install aftermarket
products or have your vehicle modified,
you may put yourself and others at greater
risk of serious injury or death. You are re-
sponsible for any such changes to the ve-
hicle.

The Wolverine comes with a variety of fea-
tures to help reduce the risk of driver and pas-
senger injury. These features work together,
and when properly used, these features will
help protect the occupants in the event of an
accident. If these features are not used prop-
erly, they can cause injury.

Protective structure
The vehicle cage/frame provides a protective
structure that helps limit intrusions by branch-
es or other objects and may reduce your risk
of injury in accidents. The protective structure
will not protect occupants in all rollovers or
accidents.
Body parts outside of vehicle can be struck
by passing objects or crushed during vehicle
rollover. Do not put your hands or feet outside
of the vehicle for any reason. Do not hold onto
the door, cage/frame or shoulder bolster.
Wear your seat belt and helmet.
If you think or feel that the vehicle may tip or
roll, do not put your hands or feet outside the
vehicle for any reason. You will not be able to
stop the vehicle from tipping over using your
body. Any part of your body (arms, legs, or
head) outside of the vehicle can be crushed
by the vehicle cage/frame. Seat belts
Seat belts should be worn by the driver and
passenger. The driver must be sure that the
passenger is belted before driving.

Be sure the seat belt is not twisted, is close-
fitting across the hips and chest, and is
latched securely.
 Do not wear the seat belt across the abdo-
men or stomach.
 Do not put the seat belt behind the back.
Failure to use seat belts properly may lead to
an increased likelihood and severity of injury.
An unbelted occupant may strike the interior
of the vehicle, the protective structure, or oth-
er objects in an accident or during operation.
You may also fall completely out or be partial-
ly ejected from the vehicle, which may lead to
being crushed between the ground and the
vehicle. Wearing the seat belt helps you re-
main in the vehicle – the doors and passenger
handhold are not a substitute for using a seat
belt.U2MB7BE0.book Page 5 Thursday, March 3, 2016 11:46 AM
