Failure to follow the warnings contained in this manual can result in serious injury or death.
An ATV is not a toy and can be hazardous to operate. This vehicle handles differently from other vehicles, 
such as motorcycles and cars. A collision or rollover can occur quickly, even during routine maneuvers like 
turning, or driving on hills or over obstacles, if you fail to take proper precautions.
Read and understand your owner s manual and all warnings before operating an ATV.

This vehicle is an  ADULT VEHICLE ONLY. Operation is prohibited for anyone under the age of 16.

As the operator of the vehicle, you are responsible for your personal safety, the safety of others, and the 
protection of our environment. Read and understand your owner's manual, which includes valuable information 
about all aspects of your vehicle, including safe operating procedures.

When you purchased your new ATV, your dealer offered a hands-on safety training course that covers all 
aspects of vehicle safety. You were also provided with printed materials that explain safe operating procedures.
