2-Up ATV Safety Alert
The U.S. Consumer Product Safety Com-
mission has concluded that ATVs may
present a risk of DEATH or SEVERE
INJURY in certain circumstances:
*** More than 2500 people, including
many children, have died in accidents
associated with ATVs since 2014.
*** Many people have become severely
paralyzed or suffered severe internal
injuries as a result of accidents asso-
ciated with ATVs.
*** Every month thousands of people are
treated in hospital emergency rooms
for injuries received while riding an
ATV.
You should be aware that A 2-UP ATV IS
NOT A TOY AND CAN BE HAZARD-
OUS TO OPERATE. An ATV handles
differently from other vehicles, including
motorcycles and cars. A collision or roll-
over can occur quickly, even during rou-
tine maneuvers such as turning and
driving on hills and over obstacles, if you
fail to take proper precautions.
TO AVOID DEATH OR
SEVERE PERSONAL
INJURY:
* Always read the Operator’s Manual
carefully and follow the operating
procedures described. Pay special
attention to the warnings contained in
the manual and on all labels.
* Always inspect the ATV each time
you use it to make sure it is in safe
operating condition. Always follow
the inspection and maintenance pro-
cedures and schedules described in
this manual.
* Never operate the ATV or ride as a
passenger without proper instruction.
Take a training course. Beginners
should complete a training course.
* Never allow anyone under 16 years
old to operate a 2-up ATV.
* Always keep both hands on the han-
dlebar grips (operator)/handholds
(passenger) and both feet firmly
planted on the footrests of the ATV
during operation.
* Always avoid paved surfaces. ATVs
are not designed to be used on paved
surfaces and may seriously affect
handling and control.
* Never operate an ATV on a public
road, even a dirt or gravel one,
because you may not be able to avoid
colliding with other vehicles. Also,
operating an ATV on a public road
may be against the law.
* Never operate an ATV or ride as a
passenger without an approved
motorcycle helmet, eye protection,
boots, gloves, long pants, and a long-
sleeved shirt or jacket.
* Never consume alcohol or drugs
before or while operating an ATV.
* Never operate an ATV at excessive
speeds. Go at a speed which is proper
for the terrain, visibility conditions,
and your experience.
* Never attempt to do wheelies, jumps,
or other stunts.
* Always be careful when operating an
ATV, especially when approaching
hills, turns, and obstacles and when
operating on unfamiliar or rough ter-
rain.
* Never lend an ATV to anyone who
has not taken a training course or has
not been driving an ATV for at least a
year.
