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 prac-
tices 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. "Post-
ing" or riding in a crouched position will often be required. Slow down and allow your flexed legs
to absorb impact.
