You have made the right choice. Thissystem will provide you with all the traction,performance and durability you require forrecreational or work purposes and allows foroperation in winter conditions as well as fall andspring conditions. This Track System for side-byside utility vehicle (hereinafter referred to as the"SxS") provides exceptional floatation with verylow ground pressure. Its strong lightweight steelframe, its internal sprockets adapted to thevehicle’s capacity, and its track specificallydesigned for SxS, make it the best system on themarket. Consult legal authorities where you drive yourSxS equipped with the System before usage toensure that you respect all applicable laws andregulations.SYMBOLS AND SIGNAL WORDS SxS Track Systems are designed to reduceground pressure and increase vehicle traction.However, during normal operating conditions,vehicle speed should be reduced compared to awheeled vehicle.SERIAL NUMBER LOCATIONThe following figures show the location of the serialnumbers on the Track System frame (Figure 1) andrubber track (Figure 2).This guide uses the following signal words andsymbols to emphasize particular information: WARNINGIndicates a potentially hazardous situation which, ifnot avoided, could result in death or serious injury.CAUTION: Indicates a potentially hazardoussituation which, if not avoided, may result indamage to vehicle and Track System components.NOTE: Indicates supplementary information.Figure 1The Prohibition Safety Sign indicates anaction NOT to be taken in order to avoid ahazard.The Mandatory Action Sign indicates anaction that NEEDS to be taken to avoid ahazard.GENERAL INFORMATION All figures, information or photos presented inthis document are up to date at the time ofpublication.

SAFETYUSER NOTICE AND DISCLAIMERThe Camso UTV 4S1 System was initiallydesigned to be used in winter conditions and wasthen adapted to be used in fall and springconditions.This document holds important informationregarding driving an SxS equipped with theCamso UTV 4S1 System by Camso. It ismandatory that every user takes the time tocarefully read, understand and then consult thisreference manual and user guide as well as theSxS owner's manual as needed. When purchasingeither a new or used Track System, the user mustobtain all documentation related to the System,including manuals and guides related to the SxSon which the System is installed.If need be,contact the Camso products dealer nearest to youto obtain any additional information. You may alsoconsult the Camso Web site at www.camso.coand contact our technical support by email atenduser.atv@camso.co.Camso believes that there are certain risks relatedto the installation and use of the System. Ourexperience shows that the System is safe.However, the user must be aware of the risksrelated with driving a SxS with the particularities ofthis type of System. The SxS driver must, at alltimes, respect all applicable laws and regulations,the indications of the System manufacturer andthe indications from the vehicle manufacturer fixedby law, namely when age restrictions exist andSxS base equipment is required (headlights,flashers and brake lights, rearview mirror, etc.).The user must always wear adequate safetyequipment, such as a helmet, safety glasses (orvisor), protective clothing, boots and gloves. It isunderstood that driving while impaired orintoxicated presents a danger for the SxS user andothers and is against the law.The System consists of many moving parts,including transmission wheels. If an object lodgesitself or becomes jammed into the System andblocks the track, it is mandatory to stop the engineand the vehicle and apply the security brakebefore removing said object. By avoiding to do so,the user exposes himself to sudden movement ofthe SxS or to breakage of a part or componentcoming from the System, which could causesevere injuries. It is also very important to wear fulllength clothing and always avoid hanging orstringy accessories.Driving a SxS equipped with such a Systemrequires particular precautions and a knowledge ofproper driving techniques of such vehicles. Anevaluation by the user of the conditions and terrain(state of the ground, grade of hill, density of snow,etc.) is equally essential.3A SxS equipped with a System cannot competeand/or be used to perform stunts, acrobatics orother exploits, as these could result in loss ofcontrol or severe injuries.Insufficient knowledge of a SxS during down hillriding, climbs and crossing of obstacles and turnscan result in tipping or roll over, and can causesevere injuries.Carrying a passenger, a load or attaching a tow cancause the SxS to be less stable, and affectability.Unless otherwise prescribed by law and by the SxSmanufacturer, you must not carry a passenger,loads or tow any objects.The installation of a System: Increases ground clearance. Changes the center of gravity. Increases the SxS width and weight. Reduces ground pressure.These parameters will effectively change drivingcharacteristics of a SxS equipped with the System.Consequently, it is highly recommended that theuser adapt his driving style to the newcharacteristics mentioned above. The drivermust always use caution when he crossesobstacles, circulates through narrow paths, meetsvehicles coming in the opposing direction, etc.As it was designed, the System will considerablyreduce the SxS top speed and can falsify thespeedometer. Generally, the System transmissionwheel diameter is less than that of the tire.Therefore, the vehicle speed will be less than thatactually displayed. Whether the SxS is equipped ornot with the System, users must always adapt thespeed to actual driving conditions. Users mustnever exceed speed limits or drive faster than theircapacities allow. Excessive speed remains one ofthe main causes of severe accidents on SxS.Camso is proud to offer SxS conversion kits withinits wide range of products. SxS Track Systems arenot only reliable, but safe. However, there are risksinherent to driving a SxS equipped with theSystem. It is therefore very important that anydriver familiarizes himself with proper drivingtechniques of a SxS equipped with a System, andthat he adapts his driving to his level of experienceand continually evaluates operating conditions andterrain to safely and efficiently make the best ofthese Camso SxS Track Systems.
OPERATING INSTRUCTIONSOPERATING INSTRUCTIONSHINTS AND TIPS Before leaving for an excursion, make sure tobring with you the following: 13 mm, 15 mm, 16mm, 17 mm, and 19 mm wrenches and sockets,an axe, a shovel, a tow cable, a lifting jack andan adjustable wrench. A BAD break-in period can generate smoke,odors of burned rubber as well as plastic depositson the sprocket and/or the frame. WARNING Generally, the slower you go, the better thetraction will be.Driving a vehicle equipped with Track Systems isdifferent from driving a vehicle on wheels. It isstrongly recommended that the safety guidelinesprovided below are followed to prevent anyaccident and/or serious malfunction that couldaffect the occupants, the vehicle or the TrackSystems. For riding on excursions on unknown or remoteterrain, make sure you have a cellular phone orsatellite phone, a first aid kit and spare parts inyour possession.CAUTION: Non-compliance with the usagerecommendations can lead to a warranty claimrefusal. When driving off trails, always be cautious to thepresence of hidden obstacles.PRE-USE VERIFICATION When driving in deep snow, do not intentionallyspin the track (tracks keep on turning while thevehicle does not move).This could cause thevehicle to get stuck.CAUTION: Before each ride make sure that theSystem’s wheels and moving parts are free and thatthey are not frozen or stuck on the frame.BREAK-IN PERIODCAUTION: A break-in period is necessary to allowthe components of the system to settle and adjustthemselves to each other.During the break-in period (4 hours or 80kilometers), follow these recommendations:INSTALLATIONVERICFIAOTIN1ST HOUR - 15 km/h*2ND HOUR - 25 km/h*3RD HOUR - 35 km/h*VISUAL INSPECTIONXXTRACK TENSIONXXANGLE OF ATTACKXXALIGNMENTXBOLT TORQUE Anchor BracketsXX* Maximum Real SpeedXXCAUTION: Avoid running under dry and cleanconditions. (For example: asphalt, hay or strawfield, etc). Start sharp turns at very low speed: (10km/h maximum real speed).CAUTION: It is the driver’s responsibility to verifythat the air intake of the vehicle is well adapted toweather conditions and is not blocked by snowaccumulation.JUMPING WARNINGJumping with vehicles equipped with TrackSystems is not recommended. These Systemswere not designed to carry out this type ofoperation. A SxS equipped with the System mustnever be used for the following activities: races,rallies, jumps, stunts, acrobatics or any otherextreme applications. A GOOD break-in period must be done in alubricated environment such as water, mud,snow, soft soil, sand, dust, etc.4
OPERATING INSTRUCTIONSSTEEP DESCENTSDESCENDING AND BEING STUCK INREVERSECAUTION: It is not advisable to change directionduring steep descents. This can lead to a seriousmalfunction of the SxS’s steering system and TrackSystems.CAUTION: If the rear Track Systems get stuck in thesnow, avoid moving or towing the vehicle in reverseto ease it from its position, as this could lead to amalfunction of the Systems. If possible, move it inthe forward direction to free it from the snow.CAUTION: During a steep descent, it is advisable tokeep the handlebars straight and to begin turningwhen the SxS is on flat ground, thus avoidingsubjecting the vehicle components and the Systemto any high stress.CAUTION: It is advisable to remove the snow fromthe top of the rear Track Systems and to compact itbehind the Systems, using your feet, to dislodge thetrack. Shoveling remains the best alternative in thissituation. WARNING WARNINGAllow for a greater braking distance andperiodically apply the brakes while driving toprevent ice buildup on brake components.Adapt your driving style to surrounding conditions(weather, traffic, etc.) and your driving abilities.CAUTION: Reduce your speed at all times; TrackSystems installed on a vehicle do not have the sameabsorption capacity as tires.CAUTION: Always operate in 4x4 mode, thissignificantly reduces possibility of derailing in anyconditions.5
OPERATING INSTRUCTIONSDRIVING OVER AN OBSTACLE TALLERTHAN 30 cm [12 in]EXCEEDING THE ANTI- ROTATION STROKEON ROUGH TERRAINCAUTION: It is not advisable to attempt to driveover an obstacle taller than 30 cm [12 in], such as atree trunk, stump or big rock.CAUTION: Never exceed the anti-rotation stroke ofthe front and rear Track Systems. System or vehiclefailure may occur.CAUTION: If the situation occurs, insert a log or arock to lower the height of the obstacle andfacilitate driving over the obstacle.CAUTION: It is recommended to drive on a surfaceon which the Track System is always fullysupported. WARNING WARNINGThe driver must remain vigilant and cautious at alltimes. Snow and mud can hide dangerousobstacles.Always follow the SxS manufacturer's safety rulesand recommendations regarding, for examplepassengers transportation, maximum loads, etc.CAUTION: In loaded / working mode (100 kg andover), reduce significantly your speed and be extracareful on rough terrain.CAUTION: It is the driver’s responsibility to followtherecommendedscheduledmaintenancedescribed in this manual.CAUTION: Never exceed vehicle cargo and towcapacity specified by your vehicle manufacturer onany type of terrain.6
OPERATING INSTRUCTIONSLOCATION OF TOWING CABLETOWING A VEHICLE OUT OF THE SNOWCAUTION: If your vehicle must be towed out of thesnow, do not secure the towing cable on the TrackSystems.CAUTION: If your vehicle must be towed out of thesnow, never tow it in the direction in which you weregoing when the vehicle got stuck.CAUTION: The towing cable must be attached to thevehicle’s frame.CAUTION: Tow the vehicle in the direction of thetracks it left before getting stuck. WARNINGWhen travelling in groups, people followingvehicles equipped with Track Systems should bewarned, as tracks can propel dangerous objects.Be especially cautious on “rocky” trails.7
