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

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

Respect of the Environment

The guidelines that we support are not designed to limit your fun, but to preserve

the beautiful freedom that you can experience only with an off-road vehicle!

These guidelines will keep operators and passengers healthy, happy and able to

introduce others to what they know and enjoy about their favorite pastime. So,

the next time you hit the trails, we ask you to remember that you are paving the

way for the future of our sport. Help us lead it down the right path! From all of us

at BRP, thank you for doing your share.

There is nothing more exhilarating than off-road adventures. Venturing onto trails

that cross wild areas is an exciting and healthy sport. However, as the number of

people using these recreational parks increases, so does the potential for dam-

age to the environment. Abuse of land, facilities and resources inevitably leads to

restrictions and closures of both private and public land.

In essence, the greatest threat to our sport, is all around us. Which leaves us with

one logical choice. We must always ride responsibly.

The vast majority respect the law and the environment. Each of us must set an

example for those who are new to the sport, young and old alike.

FOREWORD

It is in every one's best interest to tread lightly into our recreational areas. Be-

cause, in the long run, to protect the sport we must preserve the environment.

Recognizing the importance of this issue and the need for off-road riders to do

their share in preserving areas that make it possible to enjoy our sport, BRP in-

vite all off-road riders to remember that respecting the environment is not only

critical to the future of our industry but to future generations.

You are a good ambassador for your sport when you follow the principles below.

Become iinformed. Obtain maps, regulations and other information from the

Off-road clubs, the Forest Service or from other public land agencies. Learn the

rules and follow them and that goes for speed limits, too!

Avoid running over young trees, shrubs, and grasses and don't cut wood. On

flatlands or areas where trail riding is popular, it's important to ride only where au-

thorized. Remember, there is a link between protecting your environment and

your own safety.

Respect willdliife and be particularly sensitive of animals that are rearing young

or suffering from food shortage. Stress can sap scarce energy reserves. Refrain

from riding in areas where only animals are intended to tread!

Obey gate closures and regulatory signs and remember, light treaders don't

litter!

Stay out of wilderness areas. They're closed to all vehicles. Know where the

boundaries are.

Obtaiin permiissiion to travel across private land. Respect the rights of land-

owners and other people's privacy. Remember, the technology has lowered the

noise factor considerably, but you still shouldn't rev your engines where quiet “is

the order of the day”.

Off-road riders know all too well the efforts that have been made throughout the

sport's history to enjoy access to areas where people can ride safely and respon-

sibly. This effort continues today, as strong as ever.

Respecting the areas where we ride... wherever they may be... is the principal

way to ensure future enjoyment for all.

Take the opportunity to admire nature and all its wonders, is an experience cher-

ished by off-road riders. Respect the nature and wildlife will help our sport to

grow!

Finally, you don't have to leave big tracks or careen through a virgin forest to

show you can ride. So whether you're driving a high performance BRP off-road

vehicle or any other make or model, show you know what you're doing.

BEFORE YOU GO

WARNING

Diisregarding any of the safety precautions and iinstructiions contained in

this sectiion could cause injury iincludiing the possibillity of death.

Operating Age and Ability

Operators must be qualified.

Make sure the operator is 16 or older. Your state (or province) may have addi-

tional requirements.

Laws regarding the minimum age and licensing requirements vary from one juris-

diction to another. Be sure to contact the local authorities for information regard-

ing the legal operation of an off-road vehicle in the intended jurisdiction of use.

BRP highly recommends that you take a safety riding course. Basic training is re-

quired for the safe operation of any off-road vehicles.

Operation of this vehicle with a disability that impairs vision, reaction time, judg-

ment, or operation of the controls is not recommended.

The safe use of this vehicle depends on many conditions such as visibility,

speed, weather, environment, traffic, vehicle condition and the condition of the

operator.

The performance of this vehicle may significantly exceed that of other off-road

vehicles you have operated. Therefore, use by novice or inexperienced operators

is not recommended.

Each passenger 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 floor.

Drugs and Alcohol

Never ride after consuming alcohol or drugs.

Riding this vehicle requires the operator and passenger(s) to be sober, attentive

and alert.

The use of drugs and alcohol, singly or in combination, decreases reaction time,

impedes judgment, impairs vision, and inhibits your ability to safely ride.

Protective Gear

It is important that the operator and passenger always wears appropriate protec-

tive 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.

SAFETY INFORMATION

BEFORE YOU GO

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.

Hellmets and Eye Protectiion

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

doors, 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 guaran-

tee against injury, but statistics indicate that helmet use significantly reduces 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.

SAFETY INFORMATION

BEFORE YOU GO

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 Riidiing 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.

Glloves

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 Riiding Suiits

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

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.

SAFETY INFORMATION

BEFORE YOU GO

Hearing Protectiion

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.

Required Equipment

As the owner of an off-road vehicle, you are responsible for ensuring that all re-

quired safety equipment is aboard. Check your local regulations about

requirements.

This could include:

- First aid kit

- Sling: to help a defective or stuck vehicle

- Tool kit

- Phone in a watertight compartment designed for this application

- Current local map.

For a long ride, you should also include the following:

- Snack

- Flashlight.

SAFETY INFORMATION

GET FAMILIAR WITH THE VEHICLE

This vehicle may exceed the performance of other vehicles you may have ridden.

Take time to familiarize yourself with your new vehicle.

Inexperienced operators may overlook risks and be surprised by vehicle’s specif-

ic behavior and terrain conditions. Ride slowly. Excessive speed and reckless

driving can kill.

Make sure you read and understand the content of this operator’s guide to be-

come completely familiar with the controls and operation of this vehicle before

embarking on your first trip or taking on a passenger(s).

Take time to practice driving solo in a suitable traffic-free area to become accus-

tomed to the feel and response of each control.

It is very important to inform any operator, regardless of his experience, of the

handling characteristics of this vehicle. The configuration, such as vehicle height,

width, suspension type, tires type, and type vary from a model to another. The

vehicle handling is greatly influenced by these characteristics.

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.

The traction of the tires will vary depending on the surface conditions and the

tread pattern.

The traction may be reduced on many surfaces (rock, sand, mud, snow, ice,

etc.). Reduce your speed and allow more space to turn.

WARNING

Never stand behind or near a rotatiing tiire. Debriis could be projected

causiing severe iinjuries.

Steering

The front wheels are steered by the steering wheel.

Steering behavior will vary depending of the grip of the tires on the ground.

The Dynamic Power Steering (DPS) to reduce the effort to turn the steering

wheel.

Riding with passenger (s) or when carrying loads will affect the steering control

and vehicle handling. Pay attention and reduce the speed.

SAFETY INFORMATION

GET FAMILIAR WITH THE VEHICLE

Braking

Braking performances may vary suddenly under certain conditions.

Always remember that the vehicle braking distance may be affected when riding

with passenger(s) and when loaded with cargo at the rear.

Never jam the brakes. Be sure to use restraint in braking to keep from blocking

the wheels in order to avoid surprises that could lead to a loss of control.

Programmable D.E.S.S. Key

The D.E.S.S. key can be programmed to limit the speed of the vehicle and the

engine torque.

Enabling first time users and less experienced operators to learn how to operate

while gaining the necessary confidence and control.

Vehicle Blind Spots

A blind spot is an area outside the driver's field of vision that cannot be seen in

the rear-view mirror or, through the front and side openings.

In general, the taller and longer the vehicle is, the bigger the blind spots are.

For this reason, it is important to familiarize yourself with the blind spots of the ve-

hicle created by its design, especially if it is a new vehicle.

The blind spots are all around the vehicles. The blind spots are located in front,

at the rear and on the sides of the vehicle.

Be mindful about persons around the vehicle, other vehicles or nearby objects

when operating the vehicle in reverse.

Pay attention to the vehicle blind spots when climbing or backing off from the

platform, trailer or flat bed.

IMPORTANT: Even if a vehicle is equipped with mirrors (interior or exterior)

or cameras (front or rear), there will always be remaining blind spots all around

the vehicle.

Driver’s Visibility Areas

The following images illustrate the approximate driver’s visibility areas when he

is well seated and his seat belt properly fasten.

SAFETY INFORMATION

GET FAMILIAR WITH THE VEHICLE

1. Approximate driver's field of vision

2. Approximate rear-view mirror field of vision

Carrying Loads

WARNING

Faiilure to folllow these recommendations when carrying loads could llead

to a loss of control and possibly iin a tiip over.

WARNING

Never carry gasolline container(s) or any dangerous lliquids on the cargo

rack.

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

tance of the vehicle. Appropriate loading and weight distribution are therefore

important.

Do not exceed the load limits of the vehicle, including the weight of operator, pas-

senger, cargo and accessories.

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

When carrying loads it is very important to follow the recommendations:

- Never exceed the maximum cargo capacity. Refer to Important On-Product

Labels or Technical Specifications for the applicable cargo load capacity of

the vehicle.

- When carrying heavy loads on the cargo rack operate the vehicle in low

range.

- When carrying a passenger or heavy loads readjust suspension accordingly

- Always reduce your speed, turn gradually and allow longer braking distance

when carrying loads.

SAFETY INFORMATION

GET FAMILIAR WITH THE VEHICLE

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

gravity, which can reduce stability. Position cargo on the rack as evenly distrib-

uted as possible.

Secure the load on the cargo rack. 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 han-

dling of the vehicle.

Objects that are high may affect visibility for the driver and may act as projectiles

in case of an accident. 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.

Ensure cargo stays far away from the exhaust outlet.

Ensure no cargo protrudes outside the cargo rack and that cargo will not interfere

with your visibility or control of the vehicle.

Hauling a Load

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 winch (if installed) to pull the vehicle or a load.

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

NOTICE

Never use the front recovery hook or the rear recovery point to pulll a lload.

These poiints must be used to pulll a stuck vehiicle.

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

starting and maintain tension while pulling. Brake progressively, the inertia of the

load could lead to an impact.

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.

SAFETY INFORMATION

GET FAMILIAR WITH THE VEHICLE

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.

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 authorized BRP dealer for suitable available accessories for your

vehicle.

SAFETY INFORMATION

RIDE SAFELY

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

cur quickly, during abrupt maneuvers such as doing sharp turns, acceleration 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 op-

erate in reverse. Pay attention to blind spots. When it is safe to proceed in re-

verse, go slowly.

Never exceed the stated load limits for this vehicle.

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

you should it tip or rollover.

General Driving 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.

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.

SAFETY INFORMATION

RIDE SAFELY

Riding in a Group

Before starting out, designate a “trail boss” to lead the group and another person

to follow-up at the end of the group. Ensure that all members of the group are

aware of the proposed route and destination.

When riding with others, limit your abilities to the experience of others.

Never overtake the trail boss or, for that matter, any other vehicles.

It’s important to keep a safe distance between each vehicle but each one behind

the leader should know the position of the machine ahead.

Operating in Reverse

WARNING

Steering inputs iin reverse operatiion increase the risk of rolllover.

WARNING

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

above safe reverse speed.

Always make sure that the rear immediate surrounding of the vehicle is clear to

ensure no one is behind before backing up slowly. Reducing the volume of the

radio or music is also recommended before backing up. Pay attention to blind

spots.

When it is safe to proceed in reverse, go slowly and avoid sharp turns.

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

speed.

When using the override button in reverse, in case it is needed to get unstuck,

the speed and the torque limitation are increased.

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.

Riding on Paved Surfaces

Avoid paved surfaces. This vehicle is more likely to roll over on pavement be-

cause of the increase tire grip.

If you must drive on pavement, turn gradually, go slowly, and avoid abrupt accel-

eration and braking.

SAFETY INFORMATION

RIDE SAFELY

Shallow Water Crossing

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 wheel 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.

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.

Riding 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, fan, engine air intake, and interfere

with the movement of controls.

Before starting with your vehicle, check the steering, accelerator and brake pedal

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 is not as crisp and pre-

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

down and be gentle with accelerator input. Too much accelerator input 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

caused by locked wheels. Again, the best advice is to safely reduce speed in an-

ticipation of maneuvers to give yourself time and distance 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.

SAFETY INFORMATION

RIDE SAFELY

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.

Riding 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.

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.

Riding 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 rapid accelerations or sliding may cause loose stones to be

ejected rearwards into the path of another rider's way. Never do it deliberately.

During a slide or a skid, counter steer may help to regain the control. Never jam

the brakes and lock the wheels.

Crossing Obstacles

It is a good practice to use the low range (L) when 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-

senger must grasp both handholds 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.

Hill Driving Conditions

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.

SAFETY INFORMATION

RIDE SAFELY

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 vehicle in PARK when stopped or parked, especially on an in-

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

rocks or bricks.

Uphiilll Driving

It is a good practice to 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.

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

vehicle. Put the transmission in reverse (R), and back down the hill, barely re-

leasing 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 in-

creases 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 lock the wheels

causing the vehicle to slide. Maintain steady speed and/or accelerate slightly to

regain 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.

SAFETY INFORMATION

RIDE SAFELY

Drop-Offs

This vehicle is not designed to negotiate excessive 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 excessive drop-offs.

Reverse and select an alternate route.

Recreatiionall, Group and Distance Riiding

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 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 judg-

ment” you have in others around you will help you make a better choice of appro-

priate 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.

SAFETY INFORMATION

RIDE SAFELY

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.

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.

Driving on public street, road or highway, even dirt or gravel ones poses risks

such as collisions and may be illegal in your jurisdiction. Only proceed with cau-

tion on roads and road segments where the usage of your vehicle is permitted.

This vehicle is not designed for operation on roads. For example, it does not

meet motor vehicle safety standards that apply to automobiles. In many jurisdic-

tions 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 close doors and wear an approved helmet.

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 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.

SAFETY INFORMATION

RIDE SAFELY

- 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, counter steer may help to regain the control. Never jam

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.

- Avoid hills and rough terrain.

- Allow more distance to stop.

Be Prepared iin Case of Rolllover

- Close both doors and fasten seat belt to help you avoid sticking out arms or

legs.

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

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 passenger should keep

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

Terrain Condition

- Driving on public roads poses risks such as collisions and may be illegal in

your jurisdiction. Only proceed with caution on roads and road segments

where the usage of your vehicle is permitted.

- Avoid paved surfaces. This vehicle is more likely to roll over on pavement be-

cause of the increase tire grip. If you must shortly use the vehicle on such sur-

faces, avoid abrupt inputs to steering wheel, accelerator and brake pedal.

- 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.

SAFETY INFORMATION

RIDE SAFELY

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.

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 vehicle in PARK, stop engine and remove key before leaving the

vehicle.

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.

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.

SAFETY INFORMATION

RIDE SAFELY

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 on the vehicle - an electrical static discharge

may ignite the fuel.

- Never carry gasoline container(s) or any dangerous liquids on the cargo rack.

- 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.

SAFETY INFORMATION

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 Exercises

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, avoid paved surfaces. This vehicle is more

likely to roll over on pavement because of the increase tire grip. If you must

shortly use the vehicle on such surfaces, avoid abrupt inputs to steering wheel,

accelerator and brake pedal.

Braking Exercises

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.

SAFETY INFORMATION

PRACTICE EXERCISES

Reverse Exercises

The next step involves using the reverse.

- 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.

- Become familiar with the usage of the override function. Do not steer while

using the override as it increases the risks of rollover.

Emergency Engine Stopping Exercise

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

- While running at low speed, simply remove the RF D.E.S.S. key from the D.E.

S.S. post.

- The vehicle transmission will automatically put in NEUTRAL.

- Stop the vehicle and put the transmission on PARK

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

while driving and to develop this reflex.

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.

EPA Regulation - Canadian and USA Vehicles

A repair shop or person of the owner''s choosing may maiintaiin, replace, or

repair emission control devices and systems. These instructions do not require

components or service by BRP or authorized Can-Am Off-road dealers.

Although an authorized Can-Am Off-road dealer has an in-depth technical knowl-

edge and tools to service your vehicle, the emission-related warranty is not con-

ditioned on the use of an authorized Can-Am Offroad dealer or any other

establishment with which BRP has a commercial relationship.

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.

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

emission-related parts to the authorized Can-Am Offroad dealers. For more infor-

mation, please refer to the US EPA Emission-Related Warranty contained in the

Warranty section.

You must follow the instructions for fuel requirements in the fueling section of this

manual. Even if gasoline containing greater than ten volume percent ethanol is

readily available, the US EPA issued a prohibition against the use of gasoline

containing greater than 10 vol% ethanol that applies to this vehicle. The use of

gasoline containing greater than 10 vol% ethanol with this engine may harm the

emission control system.

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.

114

MAINTENANCE SCHEDULE

Severe Duty Use

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

of the maintenance schedule.

- Sand dunes riding.

- Driving at excessive speeds for prolonged amount of time.

- Repeated carrying 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.

Extreme Cold Condiitiion

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).

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

This type of usage requires more frequent maintenance and inspections to en-

sure debris has not infiltrated mechanical components.

If you ride in deep mud or water, be sure to perform the following Post Operation

Care for Deep Mud / Water Environment list.

Post Operatiion Care for Deep Mud / Water Environment

- Rinse the vehicle and its components with fresh water.

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

115

MAINTENANCE SCHEDULE

- Clean radiators and intercooler.

- 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 bellows.

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

- 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.

3. Any action or inaction by the operator unrelated to the warranty claim.

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

unless BRP written maintenance instructions state that this fuel would harm

the equipment’s emission control system and operators can readily find the

proper fuel. See maintenance information section and fuel requirements of fu-

eling section.

Components Covered

The emission-related warranty covers all components whose failure would in-

crease an engine’s emissions of any regulated pollutant, including the following

listed components:

203

US EPA EMISSION - RELATED WARRANTY

For exhaust emissions, emission-related components include any engine

parts related to the following systems:

- Air-induction system

- Fuel system

- Ignition system

- Exhaust gas recirculation systems.

The following parts are also considered emission-related components for ex-

haust emissions:

- After treatment devices

- Crankcase ventilation valves

- Sensors

- Electronic control units.

The following parts are considered emission-related components for evapora-

tive emissions:

- Fuel tank

- Fuel cap

- Fuel line fittings

- Clamps*

- Pressure relief valves*

- Control valves*

- Control solenoids*

- Electronic controls*

cantly degrading engine/equipment performance.

Limited Applicability

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.

204

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.

206

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.

Product is also used commercially when, at any point during the warranty period,

ranty does not extend the life of this warranty beyond its original expiration date.

The warranty coverage period identified above are a minimal limited warranty pe-

the case may be.

Note that the duration and any other modalities of the warranty coverage are sub-

ject to the applicable national or local legislation in the customer's country.

The seller shall deliver goods that are complying with the contract and shall be

responsible for defects existing upon delivery. The seller shall also be responsi-

ble for defects resulting from packaging, assembling instructions or the installa-

tion when it is its responsibility per the contract or if accomplished under its

sold if such hidden defects are rendering the good unfit for the intended use, or if

they diminish its use in such a way that the buyer would not have acquired the

good or would have given a lesser price, had he known. The action for such hid-

den defects shall be taken by the buyer within 2 years of the discovery of the

defect.

mented and signed by the purchaser;

are necessary in order to allow BRP to preserve both the safety of its products,

and also that of its consumers and the general public.

The customer must cease using the Product upon the appearance of an anom-

aly, notify a servicing BRP Distributor/Dealer within two (2) months of the appear-

ance of the anomaly and provide the Distributor/Dealer with reasonable access

customer's country.

The customer must also present to the Distributor/Dealer, proof of purchase of

the Product and must sign the repair/work order prior to starting the repair in or-

der to validate the warranty repair.

to, at its sole discretion, repairing or replacing parts found defective under normal

use, maintenance and service without charge for parts and labor, at any author-

ized BRP Distributor/Dealer during the warranty coverage period under the con-

ditions described herein. No claim of breach of warranty shall be cause for

cancellation or rescission of the sale of the Product to the owner. You may have

other legal rights which may vary from country to country.

In the event that service is required outside of the country of original sale, or for

EEA residents, if service is required outside of the EEA, the owner will bear re-

sponsibility for any additional charges due to local practices and conditions, such

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.

Notifying BRP, even after the expiration of the limited warranty, is very important

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.
