OPERATION

Driving on Slippery Surfaces

WARNING

Skidding or sliding can cause loss of control or overturn (if tires regain traction unexpectedly). When operating on slippery surfaces such as ice or loose gravel, reduce speed and use extra caution to reduce the chance of skidding or sliding out of control. Do not operate on excessively slippery surfaces.

When driving on slippery surfaces such as wet trails, loose gravel, or ice, be alert for the possibility of skidding and sliding.

Follow these precautions when encountering slippery conditions:

1.Slow down before entering slippery areas.

2.Maintain a high level of alertness, reading the trail and avoiding quick, sharp turns, which can cause skids.

3.Engage all-wheel drive before wheels begin to lose traction.

NOTICE: Severe damage to the drive train may occur if the AWD is engaged while the wheels are spinning. Always allow the wheels to stop spinning before engaging AWD.

4.Correct a skid by turning the steering wheel in the direction of the skid. Never apply the brakes during a skid.

The RZR XP 900 features a robust 875cc, four-stroke, twin-cylinder engine that delivers an impressive 88 horsepower. This powertrain ensures quick acceleration and nimble handling, even in challenging conditions. On the other hand, the RZR XP 4 900, an extension of the XP 900, features the same engine but is designed to accommodate up to four passengers, making it perfect for family outings or group adventures.

One of the standout features of both models is their exceptional suspension systems. They are equipped with a Walker Evans Racing suspension that offers up to 12 inches of front and 12.2 inches of rear travel, allowing them to absorb bumps and obstacles with ease. This capability provides a smooth ride, whether you’re navigating rocky trails or racing through muddy fields.

Additionally, the RZR XP 900 and XP 4 900 come with a versatile chassis that features a low center of gravity.

Both models also boast a ground clearance of 12 inches, further enhancing their capability to tackle rough terrains without getting stuck.

In terms of technology, these RZR models incorporate advanced features that enhance the overall driving experience. The Electronic Fuel Injection (EFI) system ensures optimal performance across varying altitudes and temperatures. The selectable 4WD system provides flexibility between two-wheel and four-wheel drive, allowing drivers to adapt to changing conditions quickly.

For safety, the RZR XP series includes a robust roll cage and safety harnesses, ensuring that passengers remain secure during their adventures. The vehicle's wide stance further contributes to stability, reducing the likelihood of tipping over.

Both the RZR XP 900 and XP 4 900 are equipped for customization, with a range of accessories available to outfit them for specific activities, from hunting to camping. These vehicles offer a unique blend of power, comfort, and versatility, making them ideal for adrenaline seekers and outdoor enthusiasts alike.
