Page: 12 / 84

RIDING POSITION
Operating a Timbersled requires skill and balance for proper control. Rider
positions may vary with experience and the features available on some models,
but under many conditions the proper position is to be seated with both hands
on the handlebar grips for proper throttle, brake, and steering control. See your
host bike’s owners manual for proper riding position.
WARNING
Improper riding position may reduce control and could result in serious injury or
death. Always ride in a position that allows for control of your vehicle.
RIDER CAPACITY
This Timbersled is designed for a single rider only. Never carry a passenger on
this vehicle.
RIDING APPAREL
HELMET
Wearing a helmet can prevent a severe head injury. Whenever riding a
Timbersled vehicle, always wear a helmet that meets or exceeds established
safety standards.
Approved helmets in the USA and Canada bear a U.S. Department of
Transportation (DOT) label.
Approved helmets in Europe, Asia and Oceania bear the ECE 22.05 label. The
ECE mark consists of a circle surrounding the letter E, followed by the
distinguishing number of the country which has granted approval. The approval
number and serial number will also be displayed on the label.
EYE PROTECTION
Do not depend on eyeglasses or sunglasses for eye protection. Whenever riding
a Timbersled vehicle, always wear shatterproof goggles or use a shatterproof
helmet face shield. Timbersled recommends wearing approved Personal
Protective Equipment (PPE) bearing markings such as VESC 8, V-8, Z87.1, or
CE. Make sure protective eye wear is kept clean.
CLOTHING
Be prepared, be warm and be comfortable when riding. Be aware of the weather
forecast, especially the windchill, and dress accordingly. See page 21.
WARNING
Avoid wearing loose clothing or long scarves, which can become entangled in
moving parts and cause serious injury. Always wear an approved helmet and
eye protection.
