Are You Ready To Drive - Hammerhead UM250IIR 2005 Owner's Manual And Parts Manual

ARE YOU READY TO DRIVE ?

Before each drive, you need to make sure that you and your kart are both ready to drive. To help
get you prepared, this section discusses how to evaluate your driving readiness, what items you should
check on your kart, and adjustments to make for your comfort, convenience, or safety.
Before you drive your kart for the first time, we urge you to:
Read this owner's manual and the labels on your kart carefully.
Make sure you understand all the safety messages.
Know how to operate all the controls.
Before each drive, be sure:
You wear your seat belt at all times while driving your kart.
You feel well and are in good physical and mental condition.
You are wearing an approved motorcycle helmet (with chin strap tightened securely), eye
protection, and other protective clothing.
You don't have any alcohol or drugs in your system.
Protective Clothing
For your safety, we strongly recommend that you always wear an D.O.T. approved motorcycle
helmet, eye protection, boots, gloves, long pants, and long-sleeved shirt or jacket whenever you drive.
Although complete protection is not possible, wearing proper gear can reduce the chance of injury
should you have an accident.
The following suggestions will help you choose the proper protective gear.
Helmets and Eyes Protection
Your helmet is your most important piece of protective gear because it offers the best protection
against head injuries. A helmet should fit your head comfortably and securely.
An open-face helmet offers some protection, but a full-face helmet offers more. Regardless of the
style, look for a D.O.T. (Department of Transportation) sticker on any helmet you buy. Always wear a
face shield or goggles to protect your eyes and help your vision.
