Always inspect your ATV each time you use
it to make sure it is in safe operating condi-
tion. Always follow the inspection and
maintenance procedures and schedules de-
scribed in this manual.
Always keep both hands on the handlebars
and both feet on the footboards of the ATV
during operation.
Always go slowly and be extra careful when
operating on unfamiliar terrain. Always be
alert to changing terrain conditions when
operating the ATV.
Never operate on excessively rough, slip-
pery or loose terrain until you have learned
and practiced the skills necessary to control
the ATV on such terrain. Always be espe-
cially cautious on these kinds of terrain.
Always follow proper procedures for turn-
ing as described in this manual. Practice
turning at low speeds before attempting to
turn at faster speeds. Do not turn at exces-
sive speed.
