Remember: Safety First!
To help you ride and operate the quad safely, here is some advice you should heed. Only you
can protect yourself. Your safety and the safety of minors in your care is your responsibility.
1. Pay attention to and obey the warning labels on the vehicle. If they become faded or are
removed, replace them immediately.
2. Take instruction and make certain you are fully aware of – and able to operate – the vehicle’s
controls.
3. Ride under the instruction of a competent teacher until you are an experienced rider.
4. These vehicles are designed and manufactured for off-road use only. It is illegal and unsafe
to use this machine on any public street, road or highway, tarred, dirt, paved or cement.
5. Check local riding laws and regulations before operating this machine.
6. Check local environmental laws and respect them. Redcat urges you to keep the
environment clean, safe and beautiful for all to enjoy, including yourself.
7. Riding an ATV is serious; it can be hazardous to operate. A collision or rollover can occur
quickly, often with serious consequences. Even in routine maneuvers such as turning, riding
over obstacles and on sloping ground or across water, mud or loose surfaces, the quad
handles differently from other vehicles.
8. Never carry passengers, as this alters the handling characteristics dangerously.
9. Never operate the ATV on paved, tarred or cement surfaces.
10. Never exceed the recommended load capacity. Cargo should be properly distributed and
securely attached. If carrying a load, allow greater distances for braking and reduce your
speed, especially if pulling a small trailer. Overloading or improper loading can cause
mechanical failure, loss of control and unnecessary danger.
11. Always keep both hands and both feet securely on the ATV.
12. Never attach unauthorized accessories to the ATV.
13. Never attempt stunts, jumps, wheelies or other tricks.
14. Never ride faster than your skill or conditions permit.
15. Never ride when tired or after consuming alcohol or drugs or while experiencing any
dangerous medical condition.
16. Inspect your ATV each time you use it to make sure there are no mechanical faults or
problems with tires, brakes or controls. Your ATV must be in safe operating condition at all
times, with sufficient oil, gas, and brake fluid and tire pressure.
17. Always follow inspection and maintenance procedures as recommended.
18. Never use your ATV in flowing water or in water deeper than 5 inches.
19. Always use the recommended tires and pressures to reduce the risk of tire failure.
20. Always turn the engine OFF when refueling.
21. Don’t run the engine in an enclosed area —THIS CAN BE FATAL.
22. Always wear an approved helmet that fits snugly as well as eye protection, gloves, a long-
sleeved jacket and long pants.
23. Engine oil from a recently run motor can be very hot. When draining oil for an oil change,
be careful.
24. Be sure to replace fuses with ONLY the correct ones; using an incorrect fuse can cause a fire.
25. When checking battery fluid, remember that a spark could cause the battery to explode.
Switch the engine and power OFF and avoid sparks.
