★ ★ IMPORTANT ADVICE TO THE
PARENT :
Your child' s safety depends on your
commitment to take the time necessary to
fully educate him/her on the proper
operation of the 『TE100 / 90』 . Remember
that proper instruction before your child
begins to ride is just as important as proper
instruction and supervision during riding.
Please go through this manual with your
child, page by page, and fully explain all of
the instructions, requirements and warnings
it contains. Be sure to put as much empha-
sis on safety precautions as on proper
operational techniques. Question your child
as you go through the manual to make sure
he/she understands what you are saying.
Following is a step by step guide to help
make your child' s first use of the
『 TE100 / 90』 a safe and enjoyable
experience. Before you begin to use this
guide, however, be sure you have revie-
wed the vehicle features and riding
techniques described in earlier parts of this
owner' s manual, HYOSUNG strongly
urges that you use this guide to teach each
child that you let ride the 『TE100 / 90』 .
Be sure to take breaks as the child being
instructed gets tired or his/her attention
begins to wander. Full attention at all times
is needed to safely operate any motorized
vehicle, including the 『TE100 / 90』 .
■ ■ STEP 1 - PROPER CLOTHING
The first step to safe riding is proper
protection of the rider. Your child should
always wear a helmet, eye protection,
gloves, long pants, a long sleeved shirt or
jacket, and boots.
Make sure that your child is not wearing
any loose fitting clothes. Loose belts,
scarves, etc. can get caught in moving
parts and cause personal injury. Even in
hot weather, make sure your child wears
long pants and a long sleeved shirt. These
not only protect against abrasive injuries,
but also help to reduce fatigue which
comes from loss of body heat due to the
wind.
Failure to wear proper clothing and
protective gear, as described above,
may result in severe personal injury.
■ ■ STEP 2 - FAMILIARIZATION
Your child should become completely
familiar with the names and functions of all
controls. Let the young rider sit on the
『TE100 / 90』 , with the engine off, and ask
him/her to operate specific controls.
Demonstrate operation of the controls if
necessary. Ask the child to do such things
as "apply the brakes, turn off the engine,
lock the parking brake" , etc. Practice this
exercise until the child can operate all of the
controls without hesitation and without
looking at the controls.
