Can-Am DS250 Operator's Manual - page 9
INTRODUCTION
Your dealer should have provided you with some basic information on the partic-
ular controls and features of your new vehicle. Please take the time to study this
Operator's Guide and all on-product warning labels as well as the
SAFETY VIDEO
that came with this vehicle. They more completely describe what you should
know about this vehicle before riding it.
Whether you are a new user or an experienced rider, it is important for your person-
al safety that you know the controls and features of this vehicle. Equally important
is knowing how to properly ride.
Irrespective of your age, experience or state regulations, it is always prudent for
you or any other person who may ride your vehicle, to take an approved safe riding
course. Please check with your dealer or local authorities for availability in your
area. If you are a completely new rider, this should be done before your first ride.
Your instructor should be able to provide advice on local conditions and safe riding
practices particular to the area.
Riding conditions vary from place to place. Each is subject to weather conditions
which may radically change from time to time and from season to season.
Riding on sand is different than riding on snow or through forests or marshes.
Each location may require a greater degree of awareness and skill. Show good
judgement. Always proceed with caution. Please do not take any unnecessary
risks that could leave you stranded or possibly injured.
The contents of this Operator's Guide provide riding information which has been
proven reliable by other users. They are not intended as a definitive means of
avoiding accidents. How you apply this information, coupled with your mental
and physical condition, the particular terrain hazard and your risk acceptance level
will have an effect on your riding experience. Have fun... and ride responsibly.
