Safe riding
●
Always make pre-operation checks.
Careful checks may help prevent
an accident.
●
This machine is designed for off-
road use only, therefore, it is illegal
to operate it on public streets,
roads, or highways. Off-road use on
public lands may be illegal. Please
check local regulations before
riding.
●
This machine is designed to carry
the operator only. No passengers.
●
Many accidents involve
inexperienced operators.
•
Make sure that you are qualified
and that you only lend your
machine to other qualified
operators.
•
Know your skills and limits.
Staying within your limits may
help you to avoid an accident.
●
Many accidents have been caused
by error of the machine operator. A
typical error made by the operator
is veering wide on a turn due to
EXCESSIVE SPEED or
undercornering (insufficient lean
angle for the speed). Never travel
faster than warranted by conditions.
●
Ride cautiously in unfamiliar areas.
You may encounter hidden
obstacles that could cause an
accident.
●
The posture of the operator is
important for proper control. The
operator should keep both hands on
the handlebar and both feet on the
operator footrests during operation
to maintain control of the machine.
●
Never ride under the influence of
alcohol or other drugs.
Protective apparel
The majority of fatalities from machine
accidents are the result of head injuri-
es. The use of a safety helmet is the
single most critical factor in the
prevention 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, heavy boots,
trousers, gloves, etc., is effective
