26. Never put your feet on the ground when the vehicle is starting off or moving. 

27. It is your responsibility to ensure that the ATV is properly and safely ridden and maintained. 

28. People should not operate an ATV beyond their physical or mental limits or capabilities. 

29. Keep the Owner’s Manual in a safe place on the vehicle or under the seat at all times. 

30. While you are learning to ride, use an ATV only on level, open ground away from people. 

31. Obey government laws at all times. 

32. Contact your dealer about anything related to the ATV that you do not understand or need 

advice about. 

33. If you allow an untrained person to use the ATV, you are endangering his/her life and the 

lives of others. 

34. Check that the ATV throttle, accelerator and cables are free and working.  A jammed throttle 

can cause an expensive and injurious accident. 

35. REDCAT cannot be held responsible for your lack of knowledge.  If you don’t know, ask 

your dealer.  You ride at your own risk. 

36. In some countries ATVs with 50cc or smaller engines cannot be driven by those aged 6 and 

under. 

37. Riders under age 16 should ride only with adult supervision and only after training. 

38. All riders should take a course of safety instruction. 

39. Never use gasoline (petrol) to clean the ATV. 

40. A slight spark could cause a fatal explosion.  Keep a fire extinguisher nearby when working 

on the ATV. 

41. Excessive “play” or slippage on a chain drive can cause the chain to break which could, in 

turn, cause a serious accident. 

42. “Grabbing,” shuddering or lack of braking ability could mean there is a serious brake 

problem.  This must be fixed before riding or serious injury could result. 

43. The high-tension wire from the CDI unit to the sparkplug generates extremely high voltage 

and can cause a serious or fatal shock if touched with the power on. 

44. Don’t touch any part of the engine, exhaust or silencer until it has cooled down. 

45. Don’t siphon toxic liquids such as fuel or brake fluid by mouth or allow them to remain on 

your skin. 

46. Wipe up IMMEDIATELY any oil or grease that could cause you to slip or lose control of the 

ATV. 

47. Don’t allow animals or children to be around an unattended ATV. 

48. Keep loose clothing and long hair well out of the way of moving parts. 

49. Remember: MANY PEOPLE HAVE LOST FINGERS OR LIMBS that were pulled into 

moving parts, especially chains.  DO NOT WORK ON THE ATV WITH THE ENGINE 

RUNNING. 

50. If, despite following all these precautions, you are injured, seek medical attention 

immediately. 

 

 

*This list of safety precautions was compiled by Redcat to increase your safety awareness 

and to improve your safe enjoyment of your ATV. 

 

 

WHEN SAFETY COMES FIRST, ATV RIDING IS FUN, FUN, FUN!
