PRODUCT SAFETY WARNING
Gorilla Axle
Gorilla Suspension Lift Warranty and Product Use Information
Applicable for any Gorilla Axle Suspension Lift
READ BEFORE OPERATING!!!
Generally a Gorilla Lift installed on an ATV/RUV will be make the vehicle taller than most other ATV/RUV’s,
possibly causing it to roll over easier. To offset this factor it is strongly recommended that you operate
Gorilla Lift kits with wider tires. This will give the vehicle much more stability and traction from rollover.
Many ATV Riders have the stock tires and wheels for their ATV for non-season use; always use a tire and
wheel combination that will ensure ATV/RUV stability.
We strongly recommend wearing a helmet while operating any ATV or RUV. Avoid situations where a side
rollover may occur such as, steep hills, river banks, creek crossings or any uneven terrain. Do not jump or
exceed speeds over 25mph.
Braking & steering performance and capabilities are decreased when significantly larger / heavier tires and
wheels are used. Take this into consideration while driving. Your Gorilla Lifted ATV/RUV may need a larger
turning radius. Allow for this when trail riding and be aware of riders behind you as to not cut them off.
Also, taller and more aggressive tires will cause most vehicles' speedometers to read slower.
Do not add, modify, or fabricate any factory or aftermarket parts to increase ATV height over the intended
height of the Gorilla Lift purchased. Combining any lift component from other manufactures components is
not recommended and will void your warranty.
A qualified professional ATV Technician must install all Gorilla Axle products to insure Warranty and Safety.
