Responsibilities of the Operator
As the operator of this vehicle, your common sense, judgment, and abilities are the only factors that will
prevent injury to yourself, to others around you, and/or damage to the vehicle or environment.
Recreational, Group, and Distance Riding
One of the benefits of this vehicle is that it can take you off-road away from most communities. Stay
away from areas designated for other types of off-road use unless it is specifically allowed. This includes
snowmobile trails, equestrian trails, cross-country ski trails, mountain bike trails, etc. Join a local UTV or SSV
club. A club can provide you with a map and advice, or inform you about areas where you can ride.
Always keep a safe distance from other riders ahead of you and behind you when riding in a group. Never
operate carelessly or make unexpected maneuvers with other vehicles close by. Stay on designated trails
and riding areas, and discourage others from operating in unauthorized locations.
Avoiding Accidents, Rollovers and Tip-overs
Side-by-side vehicles handle differently from other vehicles. Side-by-side vehicles are designed to handle off-
road terrain ( f or example, the wheel base and track width, ground clearance, suspension, drive train, tires,
etc. ) and as a result, can overturn in situations where vehicles designed for use primarily on paved or smooth
terrain may not�
A rollover or other accident can occur quickly during abrupt maneuvers such as:
•
Sharp turns or hard acceleration�
•
Deceleration when turning�
•
When driving on hills or over obstacles.
