ATV Safety 2
Important Safety Information
Your ATV can provide many years of service and pleasure if you take
responsibility for your own safety and understand the challenges you
can meet while riding.
There is much that you can do to protect yourself when you ride.
You’ll find many helpful recommendations throughout this manual.
The following are a few that we consider to be most important.
Follow the Age Recommendation
The minimum recommended age for this ATV model is 16. Children
under age 16 should never operate this vehicle. Refer to the age
warnings provided in this manual and on the ATV.
Always Wear a Helmet
It’s a proven fact: helmets significantly reduce the number and
severity of head injuries. So always wear an approved motorcycle
helmet. We also recommend that you wear eye protection, sturdy
boots, gloves, and other protective gear (page 58).
Never Carry a Passenger
Your ATV is designed for one person only. There are no handholds,
footrests, or seat for a second person, so never carry a passenger. A
passenger could interfere with your ability to move around to
maintain your balance and control of the ATV.
