become thoroughly familiar with
the vehicle and all of its controls.
Many accidents have been caused
by error of the vehicle operator. A
typical error made by the operator
is veering wide on a turn due to ex-
cessive speed or undercornering
(insufficient lean angle for the
speed).
• Always obey the speed limit and
never travel faster than warrant-
ed by road and traffic conditions.
• Always signal before turning or
changing lanes. Make sure that
other motorists can see you.
The posture of the operator and
passenger is important for proper
control.
• The operator should keep both
hands on the handlebar and
both feet on the operator foot-
rests during operation to main-
tain control of the vehicle.
• The passenger should always
hold onto the operator, the seat
strap or grab bar, if equipped,
with both hands and keep both
feet on the passenger footrests.
Never carry a passenger unless
he or she can firmly place both
feet on the passenger footrests.
Never ride under the influence of
alcohol or other drugs.

for off-road use.
Protective Apparel
The majority of fatalities from vehicle
accidents are the result of head inju-
ries. The use of a safety helmet is the
single most critical factor in the preven-
tion or reduction of head injuries.
Always wear an approved helmet.
Wear a face shield or goggles.
Wind in your unprotected eyes
could contribute to an impairment
of vision that could delay seeing a
hazard.
The use of a jacket, substantial
shoes, trousers, gloves, etc., is ef-
fective in preventing or reducing
abrasions or lacerations.
Never wear loose-fitting clothes,
otherwise they could catch on the
control levers or wheels and cause
injury or an accident.
Always wear protective clothing
that covers your legs, ankles, and
feet. The EV system and its related
components may become very hot
during or after operation and can
cause burns.
A passenger should also observe
the above precautions.
Loading
Adding accessories or cargo to your ve-
hicle can adversely affect stability and
handling if the weight distribution of the
vehicle is changed. To avoid the possi-
bility of an accident, use extreme cau-
tion when adding cargo or accessories
to your vehicle. Use extra care when
riding a vehicle that has added cargo or
accessories. Here, along with the infor-
mation about accessories below, are
some general guidelines to follow if
loading cargo to your vehicle:
The total weight of the operator, pas-
senger, accessories and cargo must
not exceed the maximum load limit.
Operation of an overloaded vehicle
could cause an accident.
