Go over the INSPECTION BEFORE
RIDING with your child until he/she knows
all of the items that should be checked and
how they should be checked. Give specific
examples of things to look for.
■ ■ STEP 3 - STARTING OFF AND
STOPPING
WARNING
For practice, choose a large, level area
away from other riders and free of
obstructions. Inspect the area before
riding and remove any rocks, sticks or
other potential hazards. Stay away from
ditches and bumps.
To help your child develop confidence,
he/she should PRACTICE FIRST WITH
THE ENGINE OFF, as follows :
1. Have your child sit on the 『TE100 / 90』
and tell him/her to release the parking
brake.
2. Instruct your child to keep his/her eyes
straight ahead and slowly push the
vehicle from behind, if you are physically
able to do so. This will allow your child to
get the feel of riding a moving vehicle.
3. As you push the 『TE100 / 90』 , instruct
your child to steer straight ahead and
perform operations such as stopping the
vehicle and turning off the engine stop
switch while moving. Watch your child
closely to make sure he/she is operating
the controls correctly and without looking
at the controls.
4. As you approach the end of the practice
area, tell the rider to stop the vehicle,
apply the parking brake, and get off. You
should then drag the rear end of the
『TE100 / 90』around so you can push it
straight ahead in the opposite direction.
Practice with the engine off until your
child gets the feel of using the brakes
and can stop the vehicle and turn off the
engine stop switch without looking at the
controls, and without hesitation.
WARNING
Before permitting your child to operate
the 『 『 TE100 /90』 』 under power, be sure
to adjust the throttle limiter to provide
a low maximum speed capability.
Turning the limiter clockwise reduces
the 『 『 TE100 /90』 』 ' s maximum speed
capability.
Next, start the 『TE100 / 90』 ' s engine and
have your child practice starting off, riding
in a straight line, and stopping, with the
vehicle under power.
Walk along the side of the 『TE100 / 90』if
you can, or have the young-ster ride back
and forth between you and another
supervisor.
Watch closely to make sure the rider :
1. Opens the throttle gently when starting
off.
2. Releases the throttle and applies the
brake in sequence when stopping.
3. Becomes aware of the distance it takes
the vehicle to stop when the engine stop
switch is turned off while the vehicle is
moving.
