The QUAD is driven differently form from other vehicles such as cars and motorbikes. Even during routine manoeuvres like turns, driving on slopes or over obstacles, collisions or tumbles can occur if the correct precautions are not taken. WARNING If these instructions are not followed, serious injury or even death may result. - Do not drive the QUAD before reading the following sections: "Safety information", "Use of the QUAD", and "Main parts of the vehicle". Even if you are an experienced QUAD driver, not all makes and models are equal and it is necessary to know the machine in depth before starting on your first outing. - You are not allowed to carry a passenger, and the vehicle is not equipped for that purpose. - Sit correctly with both hands on the handlebars, your feet on the footrests and your back straight up. - Always control your speed according to your skills, the weather and ground conditions. - Pay attention to surface changes and control your speed when you are not familiar with the conditions. - Always perform the routine checks described in this manual before using the QUAD, to make sure it is in perfect operating condition, - Riding a QUAD is not like driving any other vehicle, especially when cornering. Practise on flat, open ground free from obstacles and other vehicles. Read the recommendations made by this manual in the section "Use of the QUAD". - The same applies to steep climbs or descents. Start practicing with minimum slopes and raise the difficulty little by little. Advice about this is also included in the section mentioned above. - Follow the procedures described in this manual if the engine stalls. If the engine stalls and the vehicle starts rolling backwards, follow the special braking procedure described in this manual. Get off the quad on the uphill of the slope. Remember that your safety comes before that of the machine, and it is important to keep this priority in mind. - When traversing a slope, move your weight to the uphill side; read the manual regarding this. Avoid excessively slippery slopes or loose surfaces. - Never try to overcome big obstacles, like rocks or trunks. This vehicle has not been designed for this purpose; you may damage the vehicle and/or cause injury to yourself. - Do not try to make the vehicle slide sideways if you don't master this technique; this is a particularly dangerous manoeuvre. As stated above, do some testing on flat, wide, obstacle-free ground beforehand and follow the advice given in this manual. You must never lose control of the vehicle. -8- - This vehicle has been designed to go through water deeper than of 35 cm. Do not use the vehicle in fast moving water; carefully read the instructions regarding this type of terrain. Take into account that braking efficiency is diminished when the brakes are wet.

WARNING - Always switch off the engine when refuelling. - While refuelling, do not smoke, fuel is highly flammable and may ...
