Active Riding
Overview
“Active Riding” is the second part of “P.A.S.S.” It involves an understanding of how
your body weight, balance, gravity, and physical forces affect the handling of the
ATV. Knowing how to shift your weight is necessary to avoid rolling or flipping the
ATV.
For complete operating instructions, see ATV Operation sub-section in this manual.

24 ! WARNING Indicates a hazardous situation which, if not

avoided, could result in death or serious injury.

Weather, climate, and development take
their toll.
The thing about terrain is that sometimes
you don’t know it’s changed until you get
there. Whether it’s familiar or not, check
out your surroundings before and during
your ride.
Night Riding
Riding at night can be very hazardous.
Obstacles and other hazards (that are eas-
ily identified during daytime) are much
more difficult to see and avoid. When
night riding, make sure the lights are
properly adjusted and in good working
order. Reduce speed; do not over-drive
the headlights. Never travel in an unfa-
miliar area or blaze a new trail at night.
Always carry a flashlight or flare for sig-
naling an emergency.
Paved Surfaces
Avoid whenever possible. The ATV isn’t
designed for pavement. Its handling
becomes more difficult on paved sur-
faces. If operating on paved surfaces is
unavoidable, travel slowly (less than 10 ATV-0068A
mph) and avoid sudden turns and stops.

affected when towing a trailer. When
towing a trailer, always maintain slow
speed and allow more stopping distance
than when not towing a trailer.

! WARNING CF755A

Riding an ATV without extra caution

when towing a trailer will be hazard-
ous. Trailer towing can affect the han-
dling and braking of the ATV. Never tow
a trailer without a rigid tongue and
never exceed 10 mph. Avoid sudden
accelerations and stopping of the ATV.
Do not make quick maneuvers. Avoid
uneven surfaces and do not tow on
hills.

CAUTION
If using additional hold-down straps
in any other areas, care must be
taken not to damage the ATV.

 Limited Warranty
Textron Specialized Vehicles, a division of Textron, Inc. (the Company), extends a limited warranty as
described below on each new vehicle it assembles and on each genuine part and accessory assembled
and sold by an authorized dealer. The limited warranty on the vehicle is extended to the original retail
purchaser for the time periods described below; however, the balance of the remaining warranty may be
transferred to another party unless the purchase is for commercial use (see below). Warranty coverage is
only available in the country in which the original retail purchase occurs to the original retail purchaser
resident in that country or to a transferee resident in that country of the balance of the remaining warranty.
We warrant only the products we assemble and/or sell and do not warrant that other products will function
properly when used with the vehicle or will not damage the vehicle. The Company does not assume any
liability for incidental or consequential damages.
The Company will repair or replace, at its option, free of charge (including any related labor charges), any
parts that are found to be warrantable in material or workmanship. This repair work MUST be done by an
authorized dealer. No transportation charges, rental charges, or inconvenience costs will be paid by the
Company. The warranty is validated upon examination of said parts by us or an authorized dealer. The
Company reserves the right to inspect such parts at its factory for final determination if warranty should
apply.
The warranty periods are as follows:
1. Six months from the date of sale — for a vehicle used for recreational purposes.
2. Ninety days from date of invoice — for a vehicle used for commercial purposes, including rental
operations (non-transferable).
3. Thirty days from date of sale of vehicle on Company supplied batteries.
Exclusions to this warranty include normal wear, abuse, or corrosion and the following parts and
items:
Tires CV Boots Torn or Punctured Upholstery
Oil Filter Drive Belt Cracks or Gouges in Body Panels
Air Filter Brake Pads Drive/Driven Clutch Wear Parts
Light Bulbs Spark Plug(s) Windshield
The following will VOID the warranty:
1. Failure to perform the proper break-in procedure and all related maintenance, storage procedures
(if stored for extended periods), and/or service as recommended in the Operator’s Manual.
2. Repairs and/or adjustments by anyone other than an authorized dealer.
3. Use of improper carburetor jets.
4. Use of improper gasoline, lubricating oils, or spark plug(s).
5. An accident or subjecting the vehicle to misuse, abuse, or negligent operation.
6. Any modification, addition, or removal of parts unless instructed to do so by the Company.
7. Use of the vehicle in any way for racing purposes.
8. Removal of the engine for use in another vehicle.
9. Removal or mutilation of the Vehicle Identification Number or Engine Serial Number.
10. Use of parts not sold or approved by the Company.
11. Damage due to improper transportation.
The Company shall not be responsible for and this limited warranty excludes recovery of economic,
punitive, consequential and incidental damages, lost profits, and loss of use. Some states or provinces
do not allow the exclusion or limitation of incidental or consequential damages, so the above limitation
may not apply to you. Our aggregate liability may not exceed the price of the product. The law of the
State of Minnesota shall apply to all claims or disputes, exclusive of its conflicts of law provisions.
IMPLIED WARRANTY EXCLUSION AND DISCLAIMER
To the fullest extent permitted by law, the Company excludes and disclaims all implied warranties of
merchantability and fitness for a particular purpose.

67
 Warranty Procedure/Owner Responsibility
At the time of sale, an ATV Rider Training Certificate and Owner Registration form is to be completed
by the selling dealer and consumer. The receipt of the form by the Company is a condition precedent to
warranty coverage. It is the selling dealer’s responsibility to retain and/or submit appropriate copies of
the form to the appropriate place(s) to initiate warranty coverage.
The dealer will furnish to the consumer a signed copy of the form which must be presented to the
dealer when requesting warranty service. The registration form is the consumer’s proof of ownership
and warranty eligibility. The form is used by the dealer to validate the warranty claim. Retain your copy
of the form and keep it in a safe place.
When warranty repair is suspected, the ATV should be taken to the selling dealer, who has the primary
responsibility to perform warranty repairs. Subject to the limitations set forth in the Limited Warranty, in
the event the selling dealer has ceased to do business, you have moved, or you are in a location away
from your selling dealer, warranty may be performed by any authorized dealer.
The authorized dealer will examine the vehicle or part to determine if, in his opinion, a warrantable
condition exists. If a warrantable condition appears to exist, the dealer will repair or replace, at our
option, free of charge, including any related labor costs, all parts that are found to be warrantable and
any other parts which the warrantable part caused to be damaged. You, the owner, will then be asked
to sign a warranty form to ensure the Company that the warranty work was actually performed.
It is the owner’s responsibility to maintain and service the vehicle in accordance with this Operator’s
Manual. To protect yourself and your ATV, follow all safety and service tips. We will NOT warrant non-
emissions related repairs required as a result of not performing standard operator maintenance,
storage procedures, and service as outlined in the Operator’s Manual.
Should you have any questions concerning the warranty, contact an authorized dealer.
