Joyner JNSZ800DL, Owner'S Manual, Page: 57 / 94

ARE YOU READY TO DRIVE?
Before each drive, you need to make sure you and your ATV are both ready to
drive. To help get you prepared, this section discusses how to evaluate your driving
readiness, what items you should check on your ATV, and adjustments to make for your
comfort, convenience, or safety.
Before you drive your ATV for the first time, we urge you to:
■
Read this owner’s manual and the labels on your ATV carefully.
■
Make sure you understand all the safety messages.
■
Know how to operate all the controls.
■
Never drive this ATV if under 16 years old.
Before each drive, be sure:
■
You feel well and are in good physical and mental condition.
■
You are wearing an approved motorcycle helmet (with chin strap tightened securely),
eye protection, and other protective clothing.
■
You don’t have any alcohol or drugs in your system.
Protective Apparel
For your safety, we strongly recommend that you always wear an approved
motorcycle helmet, eye protection, boots, gloves, long pants, and long-sleeved shirt
or jacket whenever you drive.
Although complete protection is not possible, wearing proper gear can reduce the
chance of injury when you drive.
The following suggestions will help you choose the proper driving gear.
Helmets and Eyes Protection
Your helmet is your most important piece of driving gear because it offers the best
protection against head injuries. A helmet should fit your head comfortably and
securely.
An open-face helmet offers some protection, but a full-face helmet offers more.
Regardless of the style, look for a DOT (Department of Transportation) sticker in any
helmet you buy. Always wear a face shield or goggles to protect your eyes and help
your vision.
Operating this ATV without wearing an approved motorcycle helmet, eye protection, and
protective clothing could increase your chances of head and/or eye injury, possibly death in
the event of severe accident.
Always wear approved motorcycle helmet that fits properly and wear eye protection
(goggles or face shield), gloves, boots, long-sleeved shirt or jacket and long pants.
