SAFE OPERATION 95 WARNING HAZARD Failure to use extra care when operating on excessively rough, slippery or loose terrain. WHAT CAN HAPPEN Could cause loss of traction or vehicle control, which could result in an accident, including an overturn. HOW TO AVOID THE HAZARD Do not operate on excessively rough, slippery or loose terrain until you have learned and practiced the skills necessary to control the ATV on such terrain. Always be especially cautious on these kinds of terrain. Ground clearances at the front & rear of the vehicle will increase and decrease during operation due to action of the independent suspensions. Aggressive riding on rough terrain could cause the bottom of the chassis to strike on obstacle. Observe the following points to avoid damaging your ATV. 1. Adjust the shock absorber spring preload to stiffer setting. 2. Reduce weight on the front & rear carriers. 3. Reduce speed. NOTE żIf you ride your ATV in very rough and/or rocky terrain, you may consider replacing the plastic engine and gearcase guards with Authentic Kawasaki Accessories' aluminum guards (part number 55020-0348, 0583, 0584, 7511, 7513, 7515 and 7517). The aluminum guards provide increased protection for use in such extreme conditions. Contact a Kawasaki dealer for more information about Authentic Kawasaki Accessories aluminum guards. j
