About this Operator’s Guide

This Operator's Guide has been prepared to acquaint the owner/operator of a

new vehicle with the various vehicle controls, maintenance and safe operating in-

structions. It is indispensable for the proper use of the product.

Keep this Operator's Guide in the vehicle as you can refer to it for things such as

maintenance, troubleshooting and instructing others.

Note that this guide is available in several languages. In the event of any discrep-

ancy, the English version shall prevail.

If you want to view and/or print an extra copy of your Operator's Guide, simply

visit the following website:

www.operatorsguiides.brp.com

The information contained in this document is correct at the time of publication.

BRP, however, maintains a policy of continuous improvement of its products

without imposing upon itself any obligation to install them on products previously

manufactured. Due to late changes, some differences between the manufactured

product and the descriptions and/or specifications in this guide may occur. BRP

reserves the right at any time to discontinue or change specifications, designs,

features, models or equipment without incurring any obligation upon itself.

This Operator's Guide should remain with the vehicle when it is sold.

GENERAL PRECAUTIONS

Avoid Carbon Monoxide Poisoning

All engine exhaust contains carbon monoxide, a deadly gas. Breathing carbon

monoxide can cause headaches, dizziness, drowsiness, nausea, confusion and

eventually death.

Carbon monoxide is a colorless, odorless, tasteless gas that may be present

even if you do not see or smell any engine exhaust. Deadly levels of carbon mon-

oxide can collect rapidly, and you can quickly be overcome and unable to save

yourself. Also, deadly levels of carbon monoxide can linger for hours or days in

enclosed or poorly ventilated areas. If you experience any symptoms of carbon

monoxide poisoning, leave the area immediately, get fresh air and seek medical

treatment.

To prevent serious injury or death from carbon monoxide:

- Never run the vehicle in poorly ventilated or partially enclosed areas such as

garages, carports or barns. Even if you try to ventilate engine exhaust with

fans or open windows and doors, carbon monoxide can rapidly reach danger-

ous levels.

- Never run the vehicle outdoors where engine exhaust can be drawn into a

building through openings such as windows and doors.

Avoid Gasoline Fires and Other Hazards

Gasoline is extremely flammable and highly explosive. Fuel vapors can spread

and be ignited by a spark or flame many feet away from the engine. To reduce

the risk of fire or explosion, follow these instructions:

- Use only an approved gasoline container to store fuel.

- Never fill the gasoline container in the vehicle cargo box or on the vehicle - an

electrical static discharge may ignite the fuel.

- Strictly adhere to instructions in Vehicle fueling procedure.

- Never start or operate the engine if the fuel cap is not properly installed.

Gasoline is poisonous and can cause injury or death.

- Never siphon gasoline by mouth.

- If you swallow gasoline, get any in your eye(s), or inhale gasoline vapor, see

a doctor immediately.

If gasoline spills on you, wash with soap and water and change your clothes.

Avoid Burns from Hot Parts

Certain components like brake rotors and exhaust components become hot dur-

ing operation. Avoid contact with those parts during and shortly after operation to

avoid burn wounds.

Accessories and Modifications

Any modifications or addition of accessories approved by BRP may affect the

handling of your vehicle. It is important to take the time to get familiar with the ve-

hicle once modifications are made to understand how to adapt your driving be-

havior accordingly.

SAFETY INFORMATION

GENERAL PRECAUTIONS

Avoid installing equipment not specifically approved by BRP for the vehicle and

avoid unauthorized modifications. These modifications and equipment have not

been tested by BRP and may create hazards. For example, they could:

- Create a loss of control and increase risk of crash

- Cause overheating or short circuits increasing the risk of fire or burn injuries

- Affect the protection features provided by the vehicle.

- Affect the behavior of the trailer when the vehicle is transported

- Cause a risk of losing objects on the road when transported.

Your vehicle may also become illegal to ride.

Ask your authoriized BRP dealler for suiitablle avaiilablle accessoriies for your

vehiiclle.

SAFETY INFORMATION

SAFE OPERATION - RESPONSIBILITIES

This is a high performance off-road vehicle. Operators must be responsible and

use care to avoid rollovers, tipovers, collisions, and other accidents. Even with

vehicle safety features (such as protective structure, seat belts, side nets, doors)

and protective gear (such as a helmet), there is always a risk of injury or death in

these accidents. To reduce the risk of serious injury or death, follow the rules in

this section.

Owner - Be Responsible

Read this Operator's Guide and watch the Safety Video. Refer to the link at the

beginning of the Operator's Guide.

Always inspect and confirm the safe operating condition of your vehicle prior to

ride. Always follow the maintenance schedule described in this Operator's Guide.

Never allow anyone to operate your vehicle unless they are responsible and can

be trusted with a high performance vehicle. Consider supervising new or young

operators and setting rules and limits (e.g., whether they can carry passengers,

what they may do with the vehicle, where they may ride, etc.) for anyone using

your vehicle.

If equipped wiith optional D.E.S.S. keys, select the appropriate key (see Igni-

tion Switch and Keys) based on the operator's experience, vehicle use and

environment.

Discuss the safety information with anyone who will be using the vehicle. Be sure

that all operators and passengers meet the qualifications below and agree to fol-

low the safety information. Help users become familiar with the vehicle.

We encourage you to have an Annual Safety Inspection of your vehicle. Please

contact an authorized BRP dealer for further details. Though not required, it is

recommended that an authorized BRP dealer performs the preseason prepara-

tion of your vehicle. Each visit to your authorized BRP dealer is a great opportu-

nity for your dealer to verify if your vehicle is included in any safety campaign.

We also urge you to visit your authorized BRP dealer in a timely manner if you

become aware of any safety related campaigns.

See an authorized BRP dealer for available accessories you may require.

Operator - Be Qualified and Responsible

Read this Operator's Guide and watch the SAFETY video. Refer to the link at the

beginning of the Operator's Guide.

Become completely familiar with the operational controls and the general opera-

tion of the vehicle.

Take a training course if available (contact an authorized Can-Am dealer to find

out about training course availability as well as on the internet at http://www.roh-

va.org/), and perform the practice exercises in Practice Exercises section. Prac-

tice driving in a suitable area free of hazards and feel the response of each

control. Drive at low speeds. Higher speeds require greater experience, knowl-

edge and suitable riding conditions.

Be at least 16 years of age.

SAFETY INFORMATION

SAFE OPERATION - RESPONSIBILITIES

Be tall enough to be properly seated: back against the backrest with the seat belt

fastened, to hold the steering wheel with both hands and still be able to reach the

full stroke of brake and accelerator pedals with the right foot and to firmly plant

left foot on the footrest.

Have a proper driver's license in accordance with local laws.

Never use this vehicle with drugs or alcohol, or if tired or ill. These slow reaction

time and impair judgment.

Carrying Passengers

Only carry one passenger per available seat. All passengers must be properly

seated in the cockpit.

The passengers must be tall enough to always be properly seated: back against

the backrest with seat belt fastened, holding both handholds, and feet firmly

planted on the footrests.

Never carry passengers who has used drugs or alcohol, or is tired or ill. These

slow reaction time and impair judgment.

Instruct the passengers to read the vehicle’s safety labels.

Never carry passengers if you judge his ability or judgement insufficient to con-

centrate on the terrain conditions and adapt accordingly. More specifically for

side-by-side vehicles, the passengers must also pay constant attention to the ter-

rain ahead and be able to brace for bumps.

Riding Carefully

- This vehicle handles differently from other vehicles. A collision or rollover can

occur quickly, during abrupt maneuvers such as doing sharp turns, accelera-

tion or deceleration and driving on hills or over obstacles, if you fail to take

proper precautions.

- Never operate at excessive speeds. Always go at a speed that is proper for

the terrain, visibility, and operating conditions, and your experience.

- Never attempt jumps, side slides, donuts or any other stunts.

- Never attempt rapid acceleration or deceleration when performing a sharp

turn. This may result in a roll over.

- Never attempt skidding or sliding. If vehicle starts to skid or slide, counter

steer in the direction of skidding or sliding. On extremely slippery surfaces,

such as ice, go slowly and be very cautious in order to reduce the chance of

skidding out of control.

- Always be sure there are no obstacles or people behind the vehicle when you

operate in reverse. Pay attention to blind spots. When it is safe to proceed in

reverse, go slowly.

- Never exceed the stated load limits for this vehicle. Cargo must be properly

secured. Reduce speed, allow for greater braking distance and follow other

instructions in Moving Loads and Doing Work.

- Always remember that this vehicle is heavy! Its pure weight alone may entrap

you should it tip or rollover.

SAFETY INFORMATION

SAFE OPERATION - RESPONSIBILITIES

Occupant Restraint System

- This vehicle is designed to carry one driver and a passenger, all wearing

proper protective gears (refer to Riding Gear in this section).

- All occupants must latch the doors or the side nets and wear the seat belts at

all times when riding.

Terrain Condition

This vehicle is not designed to ride on paved surfaces; if you must shortly use

the vehicle on such surfaces, avoid abrupt inputs to steering wheel, accelera-

tor and brake pedals.

Always go slowly and be extra careful when operating on unfamiliar terrain.

Always be alert to changing terrain conditions when operating this vehicle.

Take the time to learn how the vehicle performs in different environments.

Never operate on excessively rough, slippery or loose terrain until you have

learned and practiced the skills necessary to control this vehicle on such ter-

rain. Always be especially cautious on these kinds of terrain.

Never operate this vehicle on hills too steep for the vehicle or your abilities.

Practice on small inclines.

Always follow proper procedures for climbing or going down hills as described

in Riding Your Vehicle. Check the terrain carefully before you start up or down

any hill. Never climb or descend hills with excessively slippery or loose surfa-

ces. Never go over the top of any hill at high speed.

Never attempt steep hills or side hilling when pulling a trailer.

–

Always check for obstacles before operating in a new area. Always follow

proper procedures when operating over obstacles as described in Riding

Your Vehicle.

Never operate this vehicle in fast flowing water or in water deeper than speci-

fied in Riding Your Vehicle. Remember that wet brakes may have reduced

stopping ability. Test your brakes after leaving water. If necessary, apply them

several times to let friction dry out the brakes.

Always ensure to properly park the vehicle on the flattest terrain section avail-

able. Put shift lever in PARK, stop engine and remove key before leaving the

vehicle.

If parking on a slope is inevitable, Placing a large rock or similar object behind

a wheel to block it from moving is recommended.

Never assume that the vehicle will go everywhere safely. Sudden changes in

terrain caused by holes, depressions, banks, softer or harder “ground” or oth-

er irregularities may cause the vehicle to topple or become unstable. To avoid

this, slow down and always observe the terrain ahead. If the vehicle does be-

gin to topple or rollover, the best advice is to immediately steer in the direction

of the rollover! Never attempt to prevent a rollover with your arms or legs. You

should keep your limbs inside the cage or ROPS (rollover protective

structure).

SAFETY INFORMATION

PRE-RIDE INSPECTION

Always inspect and confirm the safe operating condition of your vehicle prior to

ride. Always follow the maintenance schedule described in this Operator's Guide.

WARNING

Perform a pre-riide inspection before each ride to detect any potentiiall

probllem that coulld occur duriing operatiion. The pre-ride inspection can

help you moniitor component wear and deterioratiion before they become

a probllem. Correct any probllem that you discover to reduce the risk of a

breakdown or crash.

Before using this vehicle, the operator should always perform the following pre--

ride inspection check list.

SAFETY INFORMATION

PREPARE TO RIDE

Before you Ride

Perform pre-ride inspection to confirm the safe operating condition of your ve-

hicle. Refer to Pre-Ride Inspection.

Driver and passengers must:

- Be properly seated.

- Latch nets or doors.

- Fasten seat belt.

- Wear appropriate riding gear. Refer to Riding Gear.

Riding Gear

It is important that the operator and passengers always wears appropriate pro-

tective clothing and apparel, including:

- An approved helmet

- Eye protection

- Boots

- Gloves

- A long sleeved shirt or jacket

- Long pants.

Depending on conditions, anti-fogging goggles may be required.

RIDING GEAR

1. Approved helmet

2. Eye and face protection

3. Long sleeves shirt or jacket

4. Gloves

5. Long pants

6. Boots (over-the-ankle footwear)

Weather conditions should help you decide how to dress. To maximize comfort

and avoid frostbites in winter, dress for the coldest weather expected. Thermal

underwear next to the skin also provides good insulation.

Never wear any loose clothing that may get entangled in the vehicle or on tree

branches and shrubs.

SAFETY INFORMATION

PREPARE TO RIDE

Hellmets and Eye Protectiion

Helmets protect the head and brain from injury. Even with the vehicle's cage and

side nets, objects can enter the cockpit and strike the head, or the head can

strike the cage itself or objects outside the vehicle. Even the best helmet is no

guarantee against injury, but statistics indicate that helmet use significantly re-

duces the risk of brain injury. So, be safe and always wear a helmet while riding.

Choosiing a Helmet

Helmets should be manufactured to meet the appropriate standard in your state,

province or country and should fit properly.

A helmet with face protection is a better choice as it protects also against frontal

impacts. It can also protect against debris, stones, insects, the elements, etc.

An open-face helmet does not offer the same protection for the face and chin. If

you wear an open-face helmet, you should use a snap-on face shield and/or a

pair of goggles. Ordinary glasses or sunglasses are not sufficient eye protection

for riders. They can shatter or fly off, and they allow wind and airborne objects to

reach the eyes.

For winter riding conditions, a stocking type cap, balaclava and face mask should

always be carried or worn.

Use tinted face shields or goggles in the daytime only; do not use them at night

or in poor illumination. Do not use them if they impair your ability to discern color.

Other Riding Gear

Footwear

Always wear closed toe footwear. Sturdy over-the-ankle boots with non-slip soles

offer more protection and allow you to plant your foot properly on footrest.

Avoid long shoelaces that can be tangled in the accelerator or brake pedals.

For winter riding conditions, rubber soled boots with either a nylon or leather

uppers, with removable felt liners are best suited.

Avoid rubber boots. Rubber boots may get trapped behind or between pedals,

impairing the proper operation of brake and accelerator pedals.

Gloves

Full-fingered gloves protect hands from the wind, sun, heat, cold and flying ob-

jects. Gloves that fit snugly will improve grip on the steering wheel and help re-

duce hand fatigue. Sturdy, reinforced motorcycle or ATV gloves help protect

hands better in the event of an accident or a rollover. If gloves are too bulky, it

may be difficult to operate the controls.

For winter riding conditions, hands should be protected by a pair of snowmobile

gloves which have sufficient insulation and allow use of thumbs and fingers for

operation of controls.

Jackets, Pants and Ridiing Suits

Wear a jacket or a long sleeved shirt and long pants, or a full riding suit. Quality

ATV-type protective gear will provide comfort, and it can help you avoid being

SAFETY INFORMATION

PREPARE TO RIDE

distracted by adverse environmental elements. In case of a crash, good quality

protective gear made of sturdy material may prevent or reduce injury.

In cool-weather riding, protect yourself against hypothermia. Hypothermia, a con-

dition of low body temperature, can cause loss of concentration, slowed reac-

tions and loss of smooth, precise muscle movement. In cool conditions, proper

protective gear like a windproof jacket and insulated layers of clothing are essen-

tial. Even while riding at moderate temperatures, you can feel very cold due to

the wind.

Protective gear that is appropriate for cold-weather riding may be too hot when

stopped. Dress in layers so that clothing can be removed as desired. Topping the

protective gear with a windproof outer layer can prevent cold air from reaching

the skin.

Rain Gear

If you must ride in wet weather, a rain suit or a waterproof riding suit is recom-

mended. On long rides, it is a good idea to carry rain gear. A dry rider will be

much more comfortable and alert.

Heariing Protection

Long-term exposure to wind and engine noise when riding can cause permanent

hearing loss. Properly worn hearing protective devices such as earplugs can help

prevent hearing loss. Check local laws before using any hearing protective

devices.

SAFETY INFORMATION

AVOID ACCIDENTS

Avoid Rollovers and Tipovers

Side-by-side vehicles handle differently from other vehicles. Side-by-side ve-

hicles are designed to handle off-road terrain (for example, their wheel base and

track width, ground clearance, suspension, drivetrain, 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 or deceleration when turning, or when driving on

hills or over obstacles. Abrupt maneuvers or aggressive driving can cause roll-

overs or loss of control even in flat open areas. If the vehicle rolls over, any part

of your body (such as arms, legs, or head) outside of the cockpit can be crushed

and trapped by the cage or ROPS or other parts of the vehicle. You can also be

injured by impact with the ground, cockpit or other objects.

To reduce the risk of rollovers:

- Use care when turning.

- Do not turn the steering wheel too far or too fast for your speed and envi-

ronment. Adjust steering inputs according to your speed and environment.

- Slow down before entering a turn. Avoid hard braking during a turn.

- Avoid sudden or hard acceleration when turning, even from a stop or low

speed.

- Never attempt donuts, skids, slides, fishtails, jumps, or other stunts. If vehicle

starts to skid or slide, steer in the direction of the skid or slide. Never slam the

brakes and lock the wheels.

- Avoid paved surfaces. This vehicle is not designed to operate on paved surfa-

ces and is more likely to roll over. If you must drive on pavement, turn gradu-

ally, go slowly, and avoid abrupt acceleration and braking.

This vehicle can roll over sideways or tip over forward or backwards on slopes or

uneven terrain.

- Avoid side hilling (driving along the slope rather than up or down a hill). When

possible, drive straight up and down inclines rather than across them. If you

must side hill, use extreme caution and avoid slippery surfaces, objects, or

depressions. If you feel the vehicle start to rollover or slide sideways, steer

downhill if possible.

- Avoid steep hills and follow procedures in this guide for climbing and de-

scending hills.

- Sudden changes in terrain such as holes, depressions, banks, softer or hard-

er ground or other irregularities may cause the vehicle to tip or become unsta-

ble. Observe the terrain ahead and slow down in areas of uneven terrain.

This vehicle will handle differently when carrying or pulling a load.

- Reduce speed and follow instructions in this manual for carrying cargo or pull-

ing a trailer.

- Avoid hills and rough terrain.

- Allow more distance to stop.

Be Prepared iin Case of Rolllover

- Fasten side nets and fasten seat belt to help you avoid sticking out arms or

legs.

SAFETY INFORMATION

AVOID ACCIDENTS

- Never grab the cage or ROPS while riding. Hands can be crushed between

the cage or ROPS and the ground in a rollover. Keep hands on the steering

wheel or handholds.

- Never try to stop a rollover using your arms or legs. If you think that the ve-

hicle may tip or roll, the driver should keep both hands on the steering wheel

and the left foot firmly planted on the footrest. The passengers should keep

both hands on the handhold and both feet firmly planted on the floor.

Avoid Collisions

This vehicle can reach high speeds. At higher speeds, there is an increased risk

of losing control, particularly in challenging off-road conditions, and the risk of in-

jury in a collision is greater. Never operate at excessive speeds. Always go at a

speed that is proper for the terrain, visibility, and operating conditions, and your

experience. Consider reserving use of the performance key for situations in

which full speed and acceleration capability are appropriate.

Never operate this vehicle on any public street, road or highway, even dirt or

gravel ones. Riding your vehicle on roads or highways could result in a collision

with another vehicle. This vehicle is not designed for operation on roads. For ex-

ample, it does not meet motor vehicle safety standards that apply to automobiles.

In many jurisdictions it is not legal to operate this vehicle on public roads.

This vehicle does not have the same kind of protection for collisions as a car; for

example, there are no air bags, the cockpit is not fully enclosed, and it is not de-

signed for collisions with other vehicles. Therefore, it is particularly important to

fasten seat belts and side nets and wear an approved helmet.

SAFETY INFORMATION

RIDING YOUR VEHICLE

Practice Exercises

Before you go out for a ride, it is very important to familiarize yourself with the

handling of your vehicle by practicing in a controlled environment. If possible, it is

also a very good idea to take a more formal training course to sharpen your skills

and increase your knowledge of the vehicle.

Find a suitable area to practice and perform the following exercises. It should be

at least 45 m (150 ft) by 45 m (150 ft) free of obstacles like trees and rocks. Once

you’ve selected a suitable permitted location, proceed with the following

exercises.

Turning Exerciises

Turning is one of the most frequent causes of accidents. It is easier for the ve-

hicle to lose traction or rollover if you turn too sharply, or go too fast. Slow down

when you approach a turn.

- First learn how to perform slight right turns at very low speeds. Release the

throttle before turning and slowly reapply the throttle when turning.

- Repeat turning exercise but this time maintain the throttle at the level while

turning.

- Finally, repeat turning exercise while accelerating slowly.

- Practice exercises turning on the other side.

Note how your vehicle reacts in these different exercises. We recommend releas-

ing the throttle before entering a turn to help initiate directional change. You will

feel the lateral force increasing with the speed and with your steering input. The

lateral force should be maintained as low as possible to make sure it does not

cause the vehicle to roll over.

U Turn Exercises

Practice doing U turns.

- Accelerate slowly and while remaining at low speed, then gradually turn the

steering wheel to the right until you have completed the U turn.

- Repeat U turn exercise with different steering inputs and always at a very low

speed.

- Repeat U turn exercise on the other side.

As mentioned before in this guide, do not ride on paved surfaces as the vehicle

behavior will not be the same, increasing the risk of rollover.

Braking Exerciises

Practice braking to get familiar with the brake response.

- Do it at low speed first, then increase the speed.

- Practice braking in straight line at different speeds and different braking force.

- Practice emergency braking; optimal braking is obtained in straight line, with

high force applied, without locking the wheels.

Remember, braking distance depends on vehicle speed, load and the type of

surface. Also, the tires and brakes conditions play a major role.

Reverse Exercises

The next step involves using the reverse.

SAFETY INFORMATION

RIDING YOUR VEHICLE

- Install 1 cone marker on both sides of the vehicle beside each rear wheel.

Move the vehicle forward until you can see the cone markers, then stop the

vehicle. Acknowledge the distance required to see obstacles behind you.

- Learn how the vehicle handles itself in reverse and reacts with steering

inputs.

- Always perform this reverse exercise at slow speeds.

Emergency Engiine Stopping Exerciise

Learn how to stop your engine quickly in an emergency situation.

- While running at low speed, simply turn the key to the off position.

This is to familiarize you with the vehicle’s reaction when the engine is turned off

while driving and to develop this reflex.

It is also important to be able to stop and exit the vehicle quickly.

- Immobilize the vehicle.

- Detach the seat belt and the net to exit the vehicle.

Off-Road Operation

The very nature of off-road operation is dangerous. Any terrain, which has not

been specially prepared to carry vehicles, presents an inherent danger where

terrain substance, shape and steepness are unpredictable. The terrain itself

presents a continual element of danger, which must be knowingly accepted by

anyone venturing over it.

An operator who takes a vehicle off-road should always exercise the utmost care

in selecting the safest path and keeping close watch on the terrain ahead of him.

The vehicle should never be operated by anyone who is not completely familiar

with the driving instructions applicable to the vehicle, nor should it be operated

on steep or treacherous terrain.

General Riding Techniques

Generall Driiving Tips

Care, caution, experience and driving skill are the best precautions against the

hazards of vehicle operation.

Whenever there is the slightest doubt that the vehicle can safely negotiate an ob-

stacle or a particular piece of terrain, always choose an alternate route.

In off-road operation, power and traction, not speed, are important. Never drive

faster than visibility and your own ability to select a safe route permit. Always go

slowly and be extra careful when operating on unfamiliar terrain. Always be alert

to changing terrain conditions when operating this vehicle. Be especially cautious

on excessively rough, slippery, icy or loose terrain.

Constantly watch the terrain ahead for sudden changes in slopes or obstacles,

such as rocks or stumps, that may cause loss of stability, resulting in tip over or

rollover.

Never operate the vehicle if the controls do not function normally. See an author-

ized Can-Am Off-road dealer.

SAFETY INFORMATION

RIDING YOUR VEHICLE

To maintain proper control it is strongly advised that you keep your hands on the

steering wheel and within easy reach of all controls. The same holds true for your

feet. To minimize the possibility of any leg or foot injury, keep your left foot on the

footrest and right foot on the floor at all times. Staying completely within the cock-

pit will also help keep you from striking objects outside the vehicle.

Watch for and avoid branches and other objects that could enter the passenger

compartment and strike you or your passengers.

Operating in Reverse

When operating in reverse, check that the path behind the vehicle is free of peo-

ple or obstacles. Pay attention to blind spots. When it is safe to proceed in re-

verse, go slowly and avoid sharp turns.

WARNING

Steering inputs iin reverse operatiion increase the risk of rolllover.

NOTE:

In reverse operation, the engine RPM is limited thus limiting the vehicle reverse

speed.

WARNING

When driviing downhiilll in reverse, gravity can iincrease the vehiclle speed

above safe reverse speed.

Crossing Roads

If you have to cross a road, ensure to have complete visibility on both sides for in-

coming traffic and decide on exit point on other side of road. Drive in a straight

line toward that point. Do not make sharp direction changes or abrupt accelera-

tions as it may result in a rollover situation. Do not travel on sidewalks or bicycle

trails as they are designated specifically for those uses.

Riiding on Paved Surfaces

Avoid paved surfaces. This vehicle is not designed to operate on paved surfaces

and is more likely to roll over. If you must drive on pavement, turn gradually, go

slowly, and avoid abrupt acceleration and braking.

Shalllow Water Crossiing

Water can be a unique hazard. If it is too deep the vehicle may “float” and topple.

Check the water depth and current before you attempt to cross any water. Water

depth should not exceed the center of the wheels for vehicle to safely cross the

obstacle. Beware of slippery surfaces such as rocks, grass, logs, etc., both in the

water and on its banks. A loss of traction may occur. Do not attempt to enter the

water at high speed.

Water will affect the braking ability of your vehicle. Make sure you dry the brakes

by applying them several times after the vehicle leaves the water.

SAFETY INFORMATION

RIDING YOUR VEHICLE

Mud or marsh lands may be encountered near water. Be prepared for sudden

“holes” or changes in depth. Similarly so, be watchful of hazards such as rocks,

logs, etc., partially covered by vegetation.

Ridiing on Snow or Ice

When performing pre-ride inspection, pay special attention to locations on the ve-

hicle where snow and/or ice accumulations may obstruct visibility of the tail lamp,

clog ventilation openings, block the radiator and fan, and interfere with the move-

ment of controls. Before starting with your vehicle, check the steering, accelera-

tor and brake pedals for interference free operation.

Whenever this vehicle is ridden on a snow covered drive path, the tire grip is gen-

erally reduced causing the vehicle to react differently to control inputs from the

operator. On low grip surfaces, the steering responses are not as crisp and pre-

cise, stopping distances are lengthened and acceleration is also affected. Slow

down and be gentle on the accelerator. This will only result in spinning of the tires

and possibly in an over steering slide of the vehicle. Avoid hard braking. This will

possibly result in a straight line slide of the vehicle. Again, the best advice is to

safely reduce speed in anticipation of a maneuver to give yourself time and dis-

tance in order to keep control of the vehicle.

As you drive your vehicle over a loose snow covered surface, snow dust will be

picked up in the wake turbulence of the moving vehicle and transported to con-

tact and accumulate or melt on some exposed components including rotating

parts like brake discs. Water, snow or ice may affect the response time of the

brake system of your vehicle. Even when not required to reduce vehicle speed

apply brakes frequently to prevent ice or snow accumulation and to dry brake

pads and discs. While doing so in low risk driving situations you will test for grip

level and keep yourself alerted to how the vehicle reacts to your control inputs.

Always keep brake and accelerator pedals and floor boards free of snow and ice.

Frequently wipe snow off seat, steering wheel, headlights and tail lamps.

The depth of the snow cover may hide rocks, tree stumps or other objects and if

it is wet may totally impede the drivability as the vehicle becomes bogged down

or completely looses traction in slushy snow. Look far ahead and always be

watchful of any visible clues that might indicate the presence of such obstacles.

In doubt steer clear. Avoid driving on any frozen waterways before checking that

the ice will safely support the vehicle, its riders and its load of cargo.

At the end of each ride it is a good practice to clean the vehicle and all moving

components (brakes, steering components, drivelines, controls, radiator fan etc.)

from any snow or ice accumulations. Wet snow will turn to ice during the shut

down period and become more difficult to remove at the next pre-ride inspection.

Ridiing on Sand

Sand and riding on sand dunes is another unique experience but there are some

basic precautions that should be observed. Wet, deep or fine sand may create a

loss of traction and cause the vehicle to slide, drop off or become “bogged” down.

If this occurs look for a firmer base. Again, the best advice is to slow down and

be watchful of the conditions.

SAFETY INFORMATION

RIDING YOUR VEHICLE

When riding in sand dunes it is advisable to equip the vehicle with an antenna

type safety flag. This will help make your location more visible to others over the

next sand dune. Proceed carefully should you see another safety flag ahead.

Riiding on Gravel, Loose Stones or Other Slippery Surfaces

Riding on loose stones or gravel is very similar to riding on ice. They will affect

the steering of vehicle, possibly causing it to slide and tip over especially at high

speeds. In addition, braking distance may be affected. Remember that “gunning”

the throttle or sliding may cause loose stones to be ejected rearwards into the

path of another rider's way. Never do it deliberately.

If you do get into a slide or skid, it may help to turn the steering wheel into the di-

rection of the skid until you regain control. Never jam the brakes and lock the

wheels.

Crossing Obstaclles

Use the low range (L) for crossing obstacles.

Obstacles on the “trail” should be traversed with caution. This includes rocks, fall-

en trees, and depressions. You should avoid them whenever possible. Remem-

ber that some obstacles are too large or dangerous to cross and should be

avoided. As a guideline, never attempt to cross an obstacle higher than the

ground clearance of the vehicle. Small rocks or small fallen trees may be safely

crossed - approach obstacle at low speed and as much as possible at a right an-

gle. Adjust speed without losing momentum and do not accelerate abruptly. Pas-

sengers must grasp handhold firmly and brace feet on the floor. Hold steering

firmly without closing your fists around it and proceed. Be aware that the obstacle

may be slippery or may move while crossing.

Hiilll Driving Conditiions

When driving on hills or slopes, two things are highly important: be prepared for

slippery surfaces or terrain variations and obstacles and brace yourself properly

inside vehicle. If you climb or descend a hill that is too slippery or has too loose a

surface, you can lose control. If you go over the top of a hill at high speed, you

may not have time to prepare for the terrain on the other side. Avoid parking on a

slope. Always put the shift lever in PARK when stopped or parked, especially on

an incline, to avoid rolling. If you must park on a steep incline, block the wheels

using rocks or bricks.

Uphill Driiviing

Use the low range (L) for uphill driving.

Due to its configuration, this vehicle has very good traction even while climbing,

so much so that tip over is possible before traction is lost. For example, it is com-

mon to encounter terrain situations where the top of the hill has eroded to a point

that the hill peak rises very sharply. This vehicle is not designed to negotiate such

a condition. Take an alternate route.

It is also wise to know the terrain condition on the other side of the hill or bank. All

too often there exists a sharp drop-off that is impossible to negotiate or descend.

SAFETY INFORMATION

RIDING YOUR VEHICLE

If you feel that the slope is getting too steep to climb, apply brakes to immobilize

vehicle. Put shift lever in reverse (R), and back down the hill, barely releasing

brakes to remain at low speed. Do not attempt to turn around. Never coast down

hill while vehicle is in neutral. Do not perform hard braking as it increases the risk

of tipover.

Downhilll Driiviing

This vehicle can climb steeper slopes than it can descend safely. Therefore, it is

essential to assure that a safe route exists to descend a slope before you climb

it.

Decelerating while negotiating a slippery downhill slope could “toboggan” the ve-

hicle, causing it to slide. Maintain steady speed and/or accelerate slightly to re-

gain control. Never slam brakes and lock the wheels.

Side Hiillling

Whenever possible, side hilling (driving across a slope rather than up or down it)

should be avoided. If necessary, do so with extreme caution. Side hilling on steep

inclines could result in rollover. In addition, slippery or unfirm surfaces could re-

sult in uncontrollable side sliding. Avoid all objects or depressions that will inten-

sify the raising of one side of the vehicle higher than the other, thus causing

rollover. If you feel the vehicle start to rollover or slide sideways, steer downhill if

possible.

WARNING

Be carefull when lloadiing and transporting lliquid reservoirs. They can af-

fect vehicle stabiiliity when side hillliing by pullling downhilll and increasing

the risk of a rolllover.

Drop-Offs

This vehicle is not designed to negotiate drop-offs. It will “bottom-out” and usually

stop if either the front or rear wheels are driven over a drop-off. If the drop is

sharp or deep, the vehicle will nose dive and tip over.

Avoid negotiating drop-offs. Reverse and select an alternate route.

Recreational, Group and Diistance Ridiing

Respect the rights and limitations of others. Stay away from areas designated for

other types of off road use. This includes snowmobile trails, equestrian trails,

cross country ski trails, mountain bike trails, etc. Never assume there are no oth-

er users on the trail. Always stay to the right of the trail and do not zig zag to one

side of the trail then the other. Be prepared to stop or pull off to the side if another

trail user appears in front of you.

Join a local side-by-side vehicle club. It will provide you with a map and advice or

inform you where you can ride. If a club does not exist in your area, help to start

one. Group riding and club activities provide a pleasurable, social experience.

Never use this vehicle with drugs or alcohol, or tired or ill.

Always keep a safe distance from other riders. Your judgment of speed, terrain

conditions, weather, mechanical condition of your vehicle and the

“trust in

SAFETY INFORMATION

RIDING YOUR VEHICLE

judgment” you have in others around you will help you make a better choice of

appropriate safe distance. This vehicle, like any other motorized vehicle, cannot

stop “on a dime”.

Before you ride, tell someone where you are planning to travel and your expected

time of return.

Depending on the length of your ride, carry additional tools or emergency equip-

ment. Find out where you can get additional gasoline. Be prepared for the possi-

ble conditions you may encounter. An emergency first aid kit should always be a

consideration.

Environment

One of the benefits of this vehicle is that it can take you off the beaten path away

from most communities. However, you should always respect nature and the

rights of others to enjoy it. Do not ride in environmentally sensitive areas. Do not

drive over forest crops or shrubs, nor cut down trees or take down fencing, nor

spin your wheels and destroy the terrain. “Tread Lightly”.

This vehicle can cause OHV wildfires if debris builds up near the exhaust or other

engine hot spots and ignites then falls off into dry grass. Avoid riding in wet

areas, through muskeg or tall grass, where debris can build up. Should you ride

in those areas, inspect and remove all debris from your engine and hot spots. Re-

fer to Vehicle Care for details.

Chasing wildlife is in many areas illegal. Wildlife can die of exhaustion after being

chased by a motorized vehicle. If you encounter animals on the trail, stop and ob-

serve quietly and with caution. It will be one of the better memories of your life.

Observe the rule “what you take in, carry out”. Do not litter. Do not start campfires

unless you have permission to do so, and then only away from dry areas. The

hazards you may create on the trail may cause injury to others or yourself, even

at a later date.

Respect farm lands. Always obtain the permission of the landowner before riding

on private land. Respect crops, farm animals and property lines.

Finally, do not pollute streams, lakes or rivers and do not modify the engine or ex-

haust system, or remove any of its components as it will alter the vehicle

emissions.

SAFETY INFORMATION

MOVING LOADS AND DOING WORK

Working with Your Vehicle

Your vehicle can help you perform a number of different LIGHT tasks ranging

from snow removal to pulling wood or carrying cargo. A variety of accessories

are available from your authorized Can-Am Off-road dealer. To prevent possible

injury, follow the instructions and warnings that accompany the accessory. Al-

ways respect the load limits of the vehicle. Overloading the vehicle can over-

stress the components and cause failure. Avoid overexerting yourself if you lift or

pull heavy loads or manually push the vehicle.

WARNING

Mounted machinery must be lowered on the ground before lleaviing the

vehicle.

Carrying Loads

WARNING

Make sure alll accessoriies, cargo and loose objects iinsiide the vehiiclle are

properly secured, or remove iit to prevent from faiiliing on the road and cre-

ating a hazard for folllowing vehiclles.

Any load carried on the vehicle will affect the handling, stability and braking dis-

tance of the vehicle. Do not exceed the payload limits of the vehicle, including

the weight of operator, passengers, cargo, accessories and trailer tongue weight.

Always be aware that the cargo may slide or fall off and cause an accident.

Vehiiclle Settiings When Carryiing Load

When carrying heavy loads or passengers, readjust suspension accordingly.

SAFETY INFORMATION

MOVING LOADS AND DOING WORK

When carrying heavy loads in cargo box or pulling a loaded trailer, operate with

the shift lever in L (low range).

WARNING

Must use LOW GEAR iif total payload iis greater than 226 kg (500 llb).

Loading the Cargo Box

Ensure no cargo protrudes outside the box and that cargo will not interfere with

your visibility or control of the vehicle. Loads that protrude sideways can get

snagged or caught in bush, branches or other obstacles.

Avoid covering and obstructing the brake lights with the cargo.

Load cargo as low as possible - a higher load can raise the vehicle’s center of

gravity, which can reduce stability.

Objects that are higher than the walls of the cargo box may affect visibility for the

driver and may act as projectiles in case of an accident.

Position cargo toward the front and center of the cargo box and as evenly distrib-

uted as possible.

Secure the load to the tie down hooks inside cargo box. Use only the tie down

hooks on the bottom of the cargo box; do not secure cargo to the cage or other

part of the vehicle.

If it is not properly secured, a load may slide or fall off, possibly striking occupants

or bystanders; or it may shift during riding, affecting the handling of the vehicle.

Maximum Cargo Box Loads

Evenly distributed and safely secured.

Operating Whiile Carryiing a Load

Reduce your speed when carrying cargo and turn gradually. Avoid hills and

rough terrain. Allow more distance for braking. This vehicle may require addition-

al stopping distance if carrying heavy loads, especially on inclined surfaces.

Hauling a Load

NOTICE

A BRP approved rear hitch must be properly iinstallled on the vehicle for

haulling traillers.

Never pull a load by attaching it to the cage or any other accessories; this can

cause the vehicle to tip over. Use only the trailer hitch (if installed) or winch (if in-

stalled) to pull a load.

SAFETY INFORMATION

MOVING LOADS AND DOING WORK

In an emergency situation, use the recovery hook to recover a stuck vehicle.

When pulling loads with a chain or cable, ensure that there is no slack before

starting and maintain tension while pulling.

When pulling loads with a chain or cable, be sure to brake progressively. The in-

ertia of the load could lead to an impact.

When hauling a load, respect the maximum hauling capacity. See Pulling a

Trailer below.

WARNING

A slack iin the chaiin or cable can cause iit to break and snap back.

When pulling another vehicle, be sure that someone is controlling the pulled ve-

hicle. They must brake and steer to prevent the vehicle from going out of control.

Before pulling loads with a winch, refer to the winch manufacturer’s instructions.

Reduce your speed when hauling a load and turn gradually. Avoid hills and rough

terrain. Never attempt steep hills. Allow more distance for braking, especially on

inclined surfaces and when a passenger is on board. Be careful not to skid or

slide.

Pulling a Trailer

NOTICE

A BRP approved rear hiitch must be properlly installled on the vehiclle for

hauliing traiilers.

Riding this vehicle with a trailer substantially increases the risk of toppling, espe-

cially on inclined slopes. If a trailer is used behind the vehicle make sure that its

hitch is compatible with the one on the vehicle. Make sure the trailer is horizontal

with the vehicle. (In some instances a special extension may have to be installed

on the vehicle hitch). Use security chains or cables to secure the trailer with the

vehicle.

Reduce your speed when pulling a trailer and turn gradually. Avoid hills and

rough terrain. Never attempt steep hills. Allow more distance for braking, espe-

cially on inclined surfaces and when a passenger is on board. Be careful not to

skid or slide.

Improperly loading a trailer may cause loss of control.

Always make sure load is evenly distributed and safely secured on the trailer; an

evenly balanced trailer is easier to control.

Always put the shift lever to L (low range) for hauling a trailer - in addition to pro-

viding more torque, operating in low range helps account for the increased load

on the rear tires.

When stopped or parked, block the vehicle and trailer wheels from possible

movement.

BREAK-IN PERIOD

Operation During Break-In

A break-in period of

operating

hours or 300 km (200 mi) is required

for the vehicle.

Engine

During the break-in period:

- Avoid full throttle operation.

- Avoid pressing accelerator pedal

more than 3/4 of the stroke.

- Avoid sustained accelerations.

- Avoid prolonged cruising speeds.

- Avoid engine overheating.

However, brief accelerations and

speed variations contribute to a good

break-in.

Brakes

WARNING

New brakes willl not operate at

theiir maximum effiiciency untiil

theiir break-iin iis complleted. Brak-

ing performance may be reduced,

so use extra caution.

Apply moderate brakiing force for

the 40 to 50 fiirst brakiing events.

Belt

A new belt requires a break in period

of 50 km (30 mi).

During the break-in period:

- Avoid strong acceleration and

deceleration.

- Avoid pulling a load.

- Avoid high speed cruising.

BASIC PROCEDURES

While reading this Operator’s Guide, remember that:

WARNING

Indicates a potential hazard which, if not avoided, could result

in serious injury or death.

Starting the Engine

Insert key in ignition switch and turn to the ON position.

Press the brake pedal.

NOTE: If shift lever is not set to PARK (P), the brake pedal must be pressed to

allow engine starting.

Turn the key to the start position and hold until the engine starts.

NOTE:

Do not press the accelerator pedal. If the accelerator pedal is pressed at least

50%, the engine will not start.

Release the engine start position immediately when the engine has started.

NOTICE

If engiine does not start after a few seconds, do not hold the start positiion

more than 10 seconds.

Refer to Troubleshooting.

Operating the Shift Lever

1. Apply the brakes and select the desired shift lever position while the engine is

at idle.

2. Release the brakes.

NOTICE

When changing gear selectiion, always completely stop the vehiicle and

apply the brakes priior to shiftiing. Damage to the gearbox may occur.

Choosing the Correct Range (Low or High)

It is important to avoid situations known to make the drive belt slip excessively.

The main reason the drive belt will slip is if the gearbox is in high range when it

should be in low range.

Pay attention to the following:

Low Range

Low range should be used whenever:

- Pulling

BASIC PROCEDURES

- Pushing

- Hauling a load

4x4 applications

–

Mud holes

–

Water holes

–

Crossing obstacles

–

Climbing onto trailer

–

Hill climbing

It is also recommended to use low range if driving for prolonged periods at

speeds under 24 km/h (15 MPH).

Please refer to Break-In Period for drive belt break-in information.

Hiigh Range

High is the default riding range.

Ellectroniic Driive Bellt Protection (if avaiilablle and actiivated on your model)

Some vehicles have the electronic drive belt protection function activated.

Refer to your authorized Can-Am dealer for availability and possible activation.

This function is activated when riding at too slow speed for the Hiigh Range,

such as in the following situations:

- Pulling

- Pushing

- Hauling a load

4x4 applications

–

Mud holes

–

Water holes

–

Crossing obstacles

–

Climbing onto trailer

–

Hill climbing

In the above mentioned situations the electronic drive belt protection will help

protect the CVT drive belt from being damaged by activating the engine torque

limiter. The gauge will also scroll a LOW GEAR message, suggesting the opera-

tor to immobilize the vehicle and shift to LOW GEAR.

NOTICE

Whenever the electronic drive belt protectiion is activated, you MUST shiift

in LOW range. Refer to Operatiing the Shiift Lever.

WARNING

Apply brakes to immobilize vehiiclle. Put shift lever in reverse (R), and

back down the hiilll, barely relleasing brakes to remaiin at llow speed. Do not

attempt to turn around. Never coast down hiilll whiile vehiiclle is iin neutrall.

Do not perform hard brakiing as it iincreases the riisk of tiipover.

BASIC PROCEDURES

Stopping the Engine and Parking the Vehicle

WARNING

Avoiid parking on steep sllope as the vehiicle may rolll away.

WARNING

Always put the vehiiclle in PARK when stopped or parked to prevent

rollliing.

WARNING

Avoiid parking iin pllaces where hot parts can start a fiire.

1. Select the flattest terrain available for parking.

2. Release accelerator pedal and use brakes to completely stop the vehicle.

3. Set shift lever in PARK position.

4. Remove the D. E.S. S. key from the D. E.S. S. post or turn the ignition key in

OFF position.

NOTE: If you must park on a steep incline or if the vehicle is carrying cargo,

block the wheels using rocks or bricks.

Tips for Maximizing Drive Belt Durability

Riding style and conditions have a direct impact on drive belt durability.

Your vehicle features a CVT system design that is optimized to offer the best

performance.

The CVT and drive belt have successfully endured thousands of miles of durabil-

ity tests.

However, to maximize drive belt durability and to prevent premature failures, it is

important that the operator understands the limits of a belt driven CVT system

and adapts their riding style and speed accordingly.

If riding in any of the conditions listed below, BRP highly recommends not to con-

stantly hold the throttle wide open (WOT) for more than five (5) minutes.

- High ambient temperatures (above 30 °C (86 °F)

- Heavy loads: Passengers / Heavy cargo

- Heavy drag: Soft sand / Hill climbing / Mud / Using a track kit.

After a few minutes at WOT, partially release the accelerator and allow the CVT

to cool down.

For more tips for maximizing the drive belt durability, refer to Choosing the Cor-

rect Range (Low or High).

MAINTENANCE SCHEDULE

Maintenance is very important to keep your vehicle in safe operating condition.

The vehicle should be serviced as per the maintenance schedule.

Proper maintenance is the owner’s responsibility. A warranty claim may be de-

nied if, among other things, the owner or operator caused the problem through

improper maintenance or use.

Perform periodic checks and follow the maintenance schedule. The maiinte-

nance schedule does not exempt the pre-ride inspection.

WARNING

Faiilure to properly maiintain the vehiclle accordiing to the maiintenance

schedulle and procedures can make it unsafe to operate.

Air Filter Maintenance Guideline

Air filter maintenance should be adjusted according to riding conditions.

Air filter maintenance must be increased in frequency when riding on snow, dry

sand, dirt, gravel or similar conditions which have a high dust or particle

dispersion.

Riding in a group in these conditions will require increasing the air filter mainte-

nance frequency further.

NOTE:

Accessory filters and pre-filter are available for such conditions. Contact an au-

thorized Can-Am off-road dealer for details.

Severe Duty Use

If your vehicle is used in the following conditions, refer to the Severe Duty section

of the maintenance schedule.

- Repeated hauling of loads at more than 75% the maximum capacity.

- The increase workload applied to the drive system accelerates the differ-

entials, gearbox/transmission, and engine oil life. This reduces internal

component longevity if not replaced more frequently.

- Driving at excessive speeds for prolonged amount of time.

Higher than the average utility or commercial use requires more frequent fluid

and wear component replacement than trail, recreational, or occasional utility

purposes.

Extreme Colld Condition

An engine that is frequently operated at or below an ambient temperature of -25 °

C (-13 °F) will require an increase in service and maintenance schedule.

Any combustion engine operated at these low ambient temperature will collect

an increased amount of condensation at every startup/warm-up.

Since the engine is not reaching operating temperatures for extended periods of

time, the oil is starting to be strongly diluted with water and gas residue (more

water content).

106

MAINTENANCE SCHEDULE

An engine needs to reach operating temperature, in order to be able to evaporate

condensate out of the oil.

If daily usage (work or leisure driving cycle) is similar to those mentioned below,

BRP strongly recommends changing the oil at least once a month.

Parameters of an increase in service and maintenance schedule:

- Engine not reaching the proper operating temperature during normal daily

usage

- Multiple starts and stops without reaching operating temperature

- Short idle periods

- Low RPM driving cycle in short distances without reaching operating

temperature.

NOTE:

BRP strongly recommends the installation of a block heater to help warm up the

liquids, this will also help to extend the oil lifetime.

Deep Mud / Water Use

Whether your vehicle is a X mr model or was accessorized for deep mud / water

use, this type of usage requires more frequent maintenance and inspections to

ensure debris has not infiltrated mechanical components.

If you regularly ride in deep mud or water, refer to the Deep Mud / Water section

of the maintenance schedule.

After every ride, be sure to perform the Post Operation Care for Deep Mud /

Water Environment .

Post Operatiion Care for Deep Mud / Water Environment

- Rinse the vehicle and its components with fresh water.

- Clean the CVT air filters.

- Drain the CVT compartment and clean if any water or mud is found.

- Inspect and clean engine air filters and engine air filter housing.

- Clean radiator.

- Visually inspect for any water accumulation in the vent hoses (fuel tank, gear-

box, front differential and rear final drive). If there is water, bring the vehicle to

your nearest authorized Can-Am off-road dealer for inspection and servicing

of main components related to the vents.

- Clean front and rear shock absorbers to prevent seal from damage by dust or

dirt.

- Clean drive shaft bellows and the propeller shaft yokes or boots.

Maintenance Schedule

Make sure to perform proper maintenance at recommended intervals as indi-

cated in the tables.

The maintenance chart intervals are based on 3 factors:

- Calendar time

107

MAINTENANCE SCHEDULE

- Vehicle hours

- Odometer reading.

Take in account whichever comes first to determine the maintenance threshold.

Your driving habits determines the factors you shall adhere too. For example:

- Someone who uses their vehicle every other weekend trail riding with friends

would most likely follow the odometer readiing to determine the maintenance

interval.

- Someone who uses their vehicle seldomly over the year or only on a few oc-

casions (hunting, camping) would most likely follow the callendar time to de-

termine the maintenance interval.

- Someone who uses their vehicle daily / weekly for long periods of time such

as agricultural / work would most likely follow the vehiicle hours to determine

the maintenance interval.

IMPORTANT: The following tables show the appropriate maintenance appli-

cation for the first

3 years. For subsequent years, repeat the same pattern

alternatively.

US EPA EMISSION - RELATED WARRANTY

Bombardier Recreational Products Inc. (“BRP”) warrants to the ultimate purchas-

er and each subsequent purchaser that this new vehicle, including all parts of its

exhaust emission control system and its evaporative emission control system,

meets two conditions:

1. It is designed, built, and equipped so it conforms at the time of sale to the ulti-

mate purchaser with the requirements of 40 CFR 1051 and 40 CFR 1060.

2. It is free from defects in materials and workmanship that may keep it from

meeting the requirements of 40 CFR 1051 and 40 CFR 1060.

Where a warrantable condition exists, BRP will repair or replace, as it elects, any

part or component with a defect in materials or workmanship that would increase

the engine’s emissions of any regulated pollutant within the stated warranty peri-

od at no cost to the owner, including expenses related to diagnosing and repair-

ing or replacing emission-related parts. All defective parts replaced under this

warranty become the property of BRP.

For all emission-related warranty claims, BRP is limiting the diagnosis and repair

of emission-related parts to the authorized Can-Am dealers, unless for emer-

gency repairs as required by item 2 of the following list.

As a certifying manufacturer, BRP will not deny emission-related warranty claims

based on any of the following:

1. Maintenance or other service BRP or BRP's authorized facilities performed.

2. Engine/equipment repair work that an operator performed to correct an un-

safe, emergency condition attributable to BRP as long as the operator tries to

restore the engine/equipment to its proper configuration as soon as possible.

4. Maintenance that was performed more frequently than BRP specify.

5. Anything that is BRP fault or responsibility.

6. The use of any fuel that is commonly available where the equipment operates

As a certifying manufacturer, BRP may deny emission-related warranty claims

for failures that have been caused by the owner’s or operator’s improper mainte-

nance or use, by accidents for which the manufacturer has no responsibility, or

by acts of God. For example, an emission-related warranty claim need not be

honored for failures that have been directly caused by the operator’s abuse of

the engine/equipment or the operator’s use of the engine/equipment in a manner

for which it was not designed and are not attributable to the manufacturer in

anyway.

186

CALIFORNIA EVAPORATIVE EMISSIONS

CONTROL WARRANTY STATEMENT

The warranty periods begin on the date the new Off-Highway Recreational Ve-

hicle (“OHRV”) is delivered to an ultimate purchaser.

Bombardier Recreational Products Inc. (“BRP”) warrants to the ultimate purchas-

er and each subsequent purchaser that the OHRV is:

1. Designed, built, and equipped so as to conform, at the time of sale, with all

applicable laws, rules and regulations; and

2. Free from defects in materials and workmanship that may cause the failure of

a warranted part. All replacement parts must be identical in all material re-

spects to that part as described in BRP’s Executive Order of Certification

application.

The warranty on emissions-related parts function as follows:

Repair or replacement of any warranted part must be performed at no charge

to the OHRV owner, at a warranty station, except in the case of a temporary

repair when a warranted part or a warranty station is not reasonably available

to the OHRV owner. In the event a temporary repair is permitted, repairs may

be performed at any available service establishment, or by the owner, using

any replacement part. BRP must reimburse the owner for his or her expenses

including diagnostic charges for such temporary repair or replacement, not to

exceed BRP's suggested retail price for all warranted parts replaced and la-

bor charges based on BRP's recommended time allowance for the warranty

repair and the geographically appropriate hourly labor rate.

The lack of availability of warranted parts or the incompleteness of repairs

within a reasonable time period, not to exceed 30 days from the time the

OHRV is initially presented to the warranty station for repair, will qualify the

need for a temporary repair.

Any warranted part which is not scheduled for replacement as part of mainte-

nance in the written instructions must be warranted for the warranty period

defined below. If any such part fails during the warranty period, it must be re-

paired or replaced by BRP. Any such part repaired or replaced under war-

ranty must be fully warranted.

Any warranted part which is scheduled only for regular inspection in the writ-

ten instructions must be warranted for the warranty period defined below. A

statement in such written instructions to the effect of “repair or replace as nec-

essary” does not reduce the period of warranty coverage. Any such part re-

paired or replaced under warranty is warranted for the remaining warranty

period.

Any warranted part which is scheduled for replacement as part of mainte-

nance in the written instructions is warranted for the period of time prior to the

first scheduled replacement point for that part. If the part fails before the first

scheduled replacement point, the part will be repaired or replaced by BRP.

Any such part repaired or replaced under warranty is warranted for the re-

mainder of the period prior to the first scheduled replacement point for the

part.

Warranty services or repairs are provided at all manufacturer dealerships that

are owned by the manufacturer or franchised to service the subject OHRVs.

The OHRV owner will not be charged for diagnostic labor which leads to the

determination that a warranted part is, in fact, defective, provided that such di-

agnostic work is performed at a warranty station.

188

CALIFORNIA EVAPORATIVE EMISSIONS CONTROL WARRANTY STATEMENT

8. BRP is liable for damages to other vehicle components proximately caused

by a failure, under warranty, of any warranted part.

9. Any replacement part designated by BRP may be used in warranty repairs

provided without charge to the OHRV owner. Such use will not reduce the

warranty obligations of BRP, except that BRP will not be liable for repair or re-

placement of any replacement part which is not a warranted part.

10. Any add-on or modified part exempted by the Air Resources Board from the

prohibitions of section 27156 of the California Vehicle Code may be used on

an OHRV. Such use, in and of itself, will not be grounds for disallowing a war-

ranty claim. BRP is not liable to warrant failures of warranted parts caused by

the use of an add-on or modified part (s) unless such part (s) are also

warranted.

Conditions and exclusions:

- BRP may deny you warranty coverage if your OHRV or a part has failed di-

rectly due to abuse, neglect, improper maintenance or unapproved

modifications.

CHANGE OF ADDRESS AND OWNERSHIP

If your address has changed or if you are the new owner of the vehicle, be sure

to notify BRP by either:

- Notifying an authorized Can-Am dealer.

- North America Only: calling at 1 888 272-9222.

- Mailing one of the change of address cards on the following pages at one of

the BRP addresses indicated in the Contact Us section of this guide.

In case of change of ownership, please join a proof that the former owner agreed

to the transfer.

as it enables BRP to reach the vehicle owner if necessary, like when safety re-

calls are initiated. It is the owner’s responsibility to notify BRP.

STOLEN UNITS: If your personal vehicle is stolen, you should notify BRP or an

authorized Can-Am dealer. We will ask you to provide your name, address,

phone number, the vehicle identification number and the date it was stolen.
