Rider Safety
Operating a damaged ATV can result in an accident with serious injury or
death. After any overturn or accident, have a qualified service dealer inspect
the entire machine for possible damage, including (but not limited to) brakes,
throttle and steering systems.
Safe operation of this rider-active vehicle requires good judgement and
physical skills. Persons with cognitive or physical disabilities who operate this
vehicle have an increased risk of overturn and loss of control, which could
result in severe injury or death. Never secure a passenger to the vehicle or to
the operator with a belt, rope or similar device.
Exhaust system components are very hot during and after use of the vehicle.
Hot components can cause serious burns and fire. Do not touch hot exhaust
system components. Always keep combustible materials away from the
exhaust system. Use caution when traveling through tall grass, especially dry
grass.
Leaving the keys in the ignition can lead to unauthorized use of the vehicle
resulting in serious injury or death. Always remove the ignition key when the
vehicle is not in use.
