Alcohol and riding

don’t mix. Even one drink can reduce your ability to respond to

changing conditions, and your reaction time gets worse with every additional drink.

So don’t drink and ride, and don’t let your friends drink and ride either.

Keep your UTV in safe condition

It’s important to keep your UTV properly maintained and in safe riding condition.

Having a breakdown can be difficult, especially if you are stranded off-road far from

your base. To help avoid problems, inspect your UTV before every ride and perform

all recommended maintenance.

Your UTV comes with a hangtag and several labels containing important safety

information. Anyone who rides the vehicle should read and understand this

information before riding.
