Safety Warnings

Physical Control of the ATV

Removing even one hand or foot can reduce
ability to control the vehicle or could cause loss
of balance and ejection from the ATV.
If a person's feet are not firmly planted on the
footrests, they could come into contact with the
wheels or other moving parts and lead to
accident or injury.
Always keep both hands on the handlebars
and both feet on the footrests of the ATV during
operation. A passenger should always be
seated in the passenger seat with both feet on
the footrests and both hands on the passenger grab handles at all times. The
passenger should never hold on to the operator.

Turning Improperly

Turning improperly could cause loss of
traction, loss of control, accident or
overturn.
Always follow proper procedures for
turning as described in the owner's
manual.
Practice turning at slow speeds before
attempting to turn at faster speeds.
Never turn at excessive speed.

Jumps and Stunts

Attempting wheelies, jumps and other
stunts increases the risk of an accident or
overturn.
Never attempt wheelies, jumps, or other
stunts. Avoid exhibition driving.
