ATV Safety
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 most important.
The minimum recommended age for this ATV model is 16. Children
under age 16 should never operate this vehicle.
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.
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
