SAFETY INFORMATION
EBU00924
AN ATV IS NOT A TOY AND CAN BE HAZARDOUS TO OPERATE.
An ATV handles differently from other vehicles including motorcycles and cars. A collision or roll-
over can occur quickly, even during routine maneuvers such as turning and riding on hills or over
obstacles, if you fail to take proper precautions. SEVERE INJURY OR DEATH can result if you do
not follow these instructions:
●
Read this manual and all labels carefully and follow the operating procedures described.
●
Never operate an ATV without proper training or instruction. Take a Training Course. Be-
ginners should receive training from a certified instructor. Contact an authorized ATV dealer
or call 1-800-887-2887 to find out about the training courses nearest you.
●
Always follow the age recommendation:
- A child under 16 years old should never operate an ATV with engine size greater than 90cc.
●
Never allow a child under age 16 to operate an ATV without adult supervision, and never al-
low continued use of an ATV by a child if he or she does not have the abilities to operate it
safely.
●
Never carry passenger on an ATV.
