SAFETY
Operator Safety
POTENTIAL HAZARD
Carrying a passenger on an ATV.
WHAT CAN HAPPEN
Carrying a passenger greatly reduces the oper-
ator's ability to balance and control the ATV,
which could cause an accident and injury to the
operator and/or passenger.
HOW TO AVOID THE HAZARD
Never carry a passenger. The purpose of the
long seat is to allow the operator to shift position
as needed during operation. It is not intended for carrying passengers.
POTENTIAL HAZARD
Operating an ATV on paved surfaces, including
sidewalks, paths, parking lots, and driveways.
WHAT CAN HAPPEN
ATV tires are designed for off-road use. Operat-
ing on paved surfaces may adversely affect the
handling of the ATV and could result in loss of
control, accident, and/or injury.
HOW TO AVOID THE HAZARD
Avoid operating the ATV on pavement. If it's
unavoidable, travel slowly and avoid sudden turns or stops.
