SAFETY INFORMATION

AN ATV IS NOT A TOY AND CAN BE HAZARD-
OUS TO OPERATE.
An ATV handles differently from other vehicles, in-
cluding 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 precau-
tions.
SEVERE INJURY OR DEATH can result if you do
not follow these instructions:
● Read this manual and all labels carefully and fol-
low the operating procedures described.
● Never operate an ATV without proper training or
instruction. Take a training course. Beginners
should receive training from a certified instruc-
tor. Contact an authorized ATV dealer to find out
about the training courses nearest you.
● Always follow the age recommendation:
– A child under 16 years old should never oper-
ate an ATV with engine size greater than 90 cc.
●
Never allow a child under age 16 to operate an
ATV without adult supervision, and never allow
continued use of an ATV by a child if he or she
does not have the abilities to operate it safely.
●
Never carry a passenger on an ATV.
●
This vehicle is intended for off-road use only. Do
not operate on any paved surfaces such as:
sidewalks, driveways, parking lots, paved roads,
public streets or other motorway.

Watch carefully for other vehicles when operat-
ing on unpaved public streets or roads. Make
sure you know your country’s laws and regula-
tions before you ride on unpaved public streets
or roads.

proved motorcycle helmet that fits properly. You
