5.ARE YOU READY TO DRIVE?
Before each drive, you need to make sure you and your Off highway recreational vehicle 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 Off highway recreational vehicle, and adjustments to
make for your comfort, convenience, or safety.
Before you drive your Off highway recreational vehicle for the
first time, we urge you to:
Read this owner’s manual and the labels on your Off highway recreational vehicle carefully.
Make sure you understand all the safety messages.
Know how to operate all the controls.
Have adult present 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 wear can reduce the chance of injury
when you drive.
The following suggestions will help you choose the proper driving wear.
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 Off highway recreational vehicle 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
.
Additional Driving Wear
In addition to a helmet and eye protection, we also recommend:
Sturdy off-road motorcycle boots to help protect your feet, ankles, and lower legs Off-road
motorcycle gloves to help protect your hands.
