WARNING
Indicates a potential hazard that could
result in a serious injury or death.
Always pay close attention to the terrain
you're on, even if it is familiar to you. You
can't assume that the landscape you're
used to doesn't change. Changes to land-
scape can happen at nearly any time.
Fences can be constructed and excavatio-
ns dug in a short period of time. Weather,
climate, and development take their toll.
Terrain
You need to consider the weather. It is da-
ngerous to ride your ATV when the weath-
er is bad or potentially bad. Keep abreast
with weather forecasts.
Weather
The thing about terrain is that sometimes
you don't know it's changed until you get
there. Whether it's familiar or not, check
out your surroundings before and during
your ride.
Don't do it! It's a lot more difficult to see
what's coming.
Night Riding
Don't do it! The ATV isn't designed for pa
-
vement. Its handling becomes more diffic
-
ult on paved surfaces.
