Important Safety Information
ATV Safety
Ride Off-road Only
Take Time to Learn & Practice
Be Alert for Off-road Hazards
Your ATV is designed and manufactured for off-road use only. The
tires are not made for pavement, and the ATV does not have turn signals
and other features required for use on public roads. If you need to cross
a paved or public road, get off and walk your ATV across.
The terrain can present a variety of challenges when you ride off-road.
Continually ‘‘read’’ the terrain for unexpected turns, drop-offs, rocks,
ruts, and other hazards. Always keep your speed low enough to allow
time to see and react to hazards.
Even if you have ridden other ATVs, take time to become familiar with
how this ATV works and handles. Practice in a safe area until you build
your skills and get accustomed to the ATV’s size and weight.
Because many crashes involve inexperienced or untrained riders, we
urge all riders to take a ATV operator course approved by the ATV
Safety Institute (ASI). See page
.
Contact an authorized ATV dealer or call 1-800-887-2887 (USA only)
to find out about the training courses nearest you.
