Congratulations and thank you for choosing to become apart of our ODES family
with the purchase of your new UTV. We have designed this vehicle with you, the
customer in mind, providing you with great power, stability, and functionality with
your UTV. This UTV was designed for OFF Road use only.
This Operator’s Manual is here to familiarize any operators of all proper operating
procedures. It also includes important and required information about the general
care and maintenance of your ODES UTV.
Read the following pages regarding safety warnings, active riding skills, and
precautions for your own safety and the safety of others around you. Children and
adults have different skill levels, physical abilities, and use of judgement. Anyone
under the age of 16 is NOT permitted to drive this vehicle. Parents should always
supervise their child’s (anyone over 16) use of this UTV at all times.

Pushing limits is another major cause of UTV accidents. Never attempt to ride
beyond your personal abilities or faster than conditions warrant.
Drinking and riding can also cause potentially fatal accidents. Do not operate this
vehicle if you have consumed any alcohol. Just one drink can prohibit you from
reacting in enough time to your changing surroundings.
- 12 -
1. Reduce speed when approaching any turns, hills, or bends. Once you have fully
turned, gradually increase speed.
2. Be careful when passing any vehicle in front of you.
3. Check the brakes each time you ride to ensure they have not been cut during
off-road riding or are too soft for full stopping capacity.
4. During riding, the vibration can loosen the bolts. Before each ride, take time to
inspect that all bolts are tightened.

The main components of your vehicle are identified by different serial numbers. It
may sometimes become necessary to locate these numbers for warranty purposes
or to trace your vehicle in the event of it being lost or stolen. These numbers are
required by the authorized UTV dealer to complete warranty claims properly. No
warranty will be allowed by if the engine identification number (EIN) or vehicle
identification number (VIN) is removed or manipulated in any way. We strongly
recommend that you take note of all the serial/vin numbers on your vehicle and
supply them to your insurance company.

This off-highway utility vehicle handles differently from other vehicles including
other UTVs, ATVs, Dune Buggies, Go Karts, or cars.
SEVERE INJURY OR DEATH can result if you do not follow these instructions:
● Read this manual and all labels carefully and follow ALL operating procedures.
● This vehicle is designed to carry one driver and one passenger ONLY! No one is to
● If you cannot reach and hold the grip on the roll cage you may not ride this vehicle.
● Do not operate the vehicle on any paved surfaces, including sidewalks, driveways,
gravel street.
● Never operate this vehicle without wearing an approved motorcycle helmet that fits
properly. You should also wear eye protection, gloves, sturdy boots, long-sleeved
shirt or jacket, and long pants.
● Never consume alcohol or drugs before or while operating this vehicle.

your feet on the floorboard. Never hold onto the roll cage except when using the
handgrip inside the roll cage. Otherwise, your hand could be injured if it is caught
between the roll cage and an obstacle outside the vehicle.
● Always keep both hands on the steering wheel when driving.
● Never wrap your thumbs and fingers around the steering wheel. This is particularly
important when driving in rough terrain. The front wheels will move right and left as
they respond to the terrain, and this movement will be felt in the steering wheel. A
sudden jolt could turn the steering wheel around, and your thumbs or fingers

● Never turn at excessive speed. Practice turning at slow speeds before attempting
Go straight up and down hills where possible. Maximum slope angle is 15°Degrees
● Never operate on hills that are slippery or ones where you will not be able to see
far enough ahead of you. Never go over the top of a hill at fast speeds if you
cannot see what is on the other side.
● Always follow proper procedures for going uphill. If you lose momentum and
cannot continue up a hill, back down the hill with the engine in reverse gear. Use
engine braking to help you go slowly. If necessary, use the brakes gradually to help
you go slowly.
- 27 -
● Never operate the vehicle in fast flowing water or water deeper than the
floorboards on this model. Wet brakes may have reduced stopping ability. Test
your brakes after leaving water. If necessary, apply them several times to let
friction dry out the linings.
● Always be sure there are no obstacles or people behind you when you operate in
● Never exceed the stated load capacity. Cargo should be as far forward in the bed
as possible, and distributed evenly from side to side. Be sure cargo is secured so
that it cannot move around during operation. Reduce speed and follow instructions
in this manual for carrying cargo or pulling a trailer. Allow greater distance for
braking.
