Introduction

Readthisowner’smanual.

The Intimidator is an off-road vehicle, not a toy. It can be hazardous to operate

and should never be operated by anyone other than a trained adult. Failure to

follow the warnings and instructions in this manual can result in severe injury or

death.

the instructions on the vehicle carefully. If any label becomes illegible or comes



Figure 2: Discretionary Warning Label

Danger:

 Improper Use of Off-Highway Vehicles Can Cause Severe Injury or Death

Drive Responsibly

Avoid loss of control and rollovers:

 Avoid abrupt maneuvers, sideways sliding, skidding, or fishtailing, and

never do donuts.

 Slow down before entering a turn.

 Avoid hard acceleration when turning, even from a stop. Plan for hills,

rough terrain, ruts, and other changes in traction and terrain.

 Avoid paved surfaces.

 Avoid side hilling (riding across slopes).

Require Proper Use of Your Vehicle

An UTV operator safety course, either through your dealer or online at

www.rohva.org is highly recommended.

Do your part to prevent injuries:

 Do not allow careless or reckless driving.

 Make sure operators are 16 or older with a valid driver’s license.

 Do not let people drive or ride while under the influence of alcohol or drugs.

 Do not allow operation on public roads (unless designated for off-highway

vehicle access) – collisions with cars and trucks can occur.

 Do not exceed seating load capacity.



Seatbelt and Safety Warning – Located on vehicle firewall



Figure 3: Seatbelt and Safety Label

Warning:

 Improper Use of Off-Highway Vehicles Can Cause Severe Injury or Death.

Be Prepared:

 Fasten seat belts and side safety nets if so equipped.

 Keep nets adjusted per owner’s manual.

 Wear an approved helmet and protective gear.

 Each rider must be able to sit with back against seat, feet flat on floor (and

foot rests), and have hands on steering wheel or handhold(s), where

equipped. Stay completely inside the vehicle.

Be Sure Riders Pay Attention and Plan Ahead

If you think or feel the vehicle may tip or roll, reduce your risk of injury:

 Keep a firm grip on the steering wheel or handholds and brace yourself.

 Do not put any part of your body outside of the vehicle for any reason.

 Maximum cargo bed capacity is 1200 lb. (gas & diesel), 700 lb. (electric),

and 1000 lb. (GC1K).

 Cargo bed loading may affect handling and stability:

o Shift transmission to lower gear.

o Do not exceed 10 mph when cargo bed is loaded over 200 lb. or

when pulling a trailer.

o Inflate tire pressure to pressures stated on tire pressure label if cargo

load is over 200 lb.

7



o Secure cargo so that it will not shift, affecting handling or cause the

cargo to strike occupants.

o Keep cargo weight centered in the bed and as low as possible to

reduce the chance of rollover.

o Do not tow or pull objects from any other point on the vehicle other

than the trailer hitch or winch if installed.

o Reduce speed when making turns.

o Avoid steep inclines and tough terrain.

 Read your owner’s manual before loading, towing, or pulling objects.
