Tips
Owning and riding an ATV can be enjoyable, but you must do your part
to protect nature. When you show respect for the land, wildlife, and
other people, you also help preserve the sport of off-road riding.
Following are tips on how you can be an environmentally responsible
ATV owner.
Stay on existing roads and trails, avoid surfaces that
are easily damaged, and ride only in areas approved for off-road
vehicles.
Loud vehicles can be offensive. Ride as
quietly as possible, don’t remove your spark arrester, and don’t
modify the muffler or any other part of your air intake and exhaust
systems. Such modifications not only increase noise, they also reduce
engine performance and may be illegal.
Use a biodegradable detergent when you
wash your ATV. Avoid aerosol spray cleaners that contain
chlorofluorocarbons (CFCs) which damage the atmosphere’s
protective ozone layer. Don’t throw cleaning solvents away; see the
following guidelines for proper disposal.
It’s illegal and thoughtless to put used engine oil in
the trash, down a drain, or on the ground. Used oil, petrol, and
cleaning solvents contain poisons that can hurt refuse workers and
contaminate our drinking water, lakes, rivers, and oceans. Before
changing your oil, make sure you have the proper containers. Put oil
and other toxic wastes in separate sealed containers and take them to a
recycling centre. Call your local or state office of public works or
environmental services to find a recycling centre in your area, and to
get instructions on how to dispose of non-recyclable wastes.
