Pre-Drive Inspections
Failure to perform the recommended pre-
drive inspections could result in
component failure while driving, which could result in serious
injury or death. Always perform the pre-drive inspections
before each drive. Perform any necessary services before
operating if inspections reveal the need for adjustment,
replacement, or repair.
To keep your SOLO in safe operating condition, always
perform the recommended pre-drive inspections before each
use of the vehicle. This is especially important before making a
long trip, on first driving the vehicle after an extended period of
inactivity or non-use, and when removing the vehicle from
storage.
You must be familiar with all instruments and controls in order
to perform the pre-drive inspections. See “Controls and
Features”, page 4-1 .
