Ready to Drive?
WARNING
Operating this Mini Rover without correctly
fastening your seat belt could cause you to be
thrown from the vehicle.
To parents: One indicator that youngsters are ready to drive a Mini Rover is when they
show a safety-conscious attitude and are aware of the dangers of Mini Rover operation. If
the youngster has a habit of rashness or is involved in accidents often while using a
bicycle or skateboard, the youngster is not ready to drive this Mini Rover.
A.
The following questions can help parents further pinpoint whether youngster is ready
to drive:
1. Can youngster place his or her feet firmly, easily on the foot pedal?
2. Can youngster’s hands reach the steering wheel comfortably? Can your youngster
operate the steering wheel?
3. Can youngster push the brake foot pedal brake downward with enough strength to
stop the kart?
4. Does your youngster understand the controls of the Mini Rover?
B. PRE-DRIVE INSPECTION (to Parents)
Before you continue:
1. Have you determined your youngster’s readiness to drive this Mini Rover? Do not let
your youngster drive if you have any doubt.
2. Have you read this manual and reviewed it with your youngster?
3. Have you inspected the vehicle and maintained it accordingly?
4. Is your youngster wearing the proper protective gear?
5. Has your youngster learned to locate the Mini Rover controls without help?
6. Does he or she know how to operate the controls smoothly?
7. Does your youngster understand he or she must always drive off-road?
8. Have you stressed to your youngster the importance of keeping his or her feet on the
foot pedals and their hands on the steering wheel?
C. Practice area (to parents)
The best place for learning is a level area 100’ x 200’ that is free from obstacles
such as rocks, stumps, or holes. The learning area may have a loose or hard dirt surface.
A grassy surface is also acceptable. It should not have two different surfaces. Be sure
there is enough room to maneuver, and that no other people or obstacles are close by.
D.
Getting used to the vehicle in motion (to parents)
Be sure your youngster is wearing all of the proper protective gear. With the
engines still OFF, have your youngster sit in the Mini Rover. Physically push the
vehicle slowly. Practice this several times until you are sure your youngster’s driving
skill is developed. Remind your youngster to keep his or her head up and look
forward and to keep both feet on foot pedals.
