Riding Techniques

Riding your vehicle too fast for the conditions may result in injury. Apply only
enough throttle to proceed safely. Statistics show that high speed turns usually
result in mishaps and injury. Always remember that this vehicle is heavy! Its
pure weight alone may entrap you should it fall and pin you down.
This vehicle is not designed for jumping nor can it, or you, absorb the energy of
high impacts such as jumping. Performing "wheelies" can cause the vehicle to
flip over onto you. Both practices have a high risk for you and your passenger
and should be avoided at all times.
To maintain proper control it is strongly advised that you keep your hands on the
handlebar and within easy reach of all controls. The same holds true for your
feet. To minimize the possibility of any leg or foot injury, keep your feet on the
footrests at all times. Do not direct your toes outwards nor place your foot out to
assist turning as they can be hit or snagged by passing obstacles or may contact
the wheels. Your passenger must keep his hands on grab handles and his feet
on footrests at all times.
V00A1VL
Even though there is an adequate suspensions system on this vehicle there are
"washboard" or rough terrain conditions that will make you feel uncomfortable
and even cause back injury. "Posting" or riding in a crouched position will often
be required. Slow down and allow your flexed legs to absorb impact.
