Instructing The Young Rider - HYOSUNG TE 100 R Manual

INSTRUCTING THE
YOUNG RIDER
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
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 childs first use of the TE100R
a safe and enjoyable experience. Before
you begin to use this guide, however, be
sure you have reviewed 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 TE100R .
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 TE100R .
TE100R . Remember
STEP 1 - PROPER CLOTHING
GEAR
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.
WARNING
Failure to wear proper clothing and
protective gear, as described above,
may result in severe personal injury.
STEP 2 - FAMILIARIZATION
WITH THE VEHICLE
Your child should become completely
familiar with the names and functions of all
controls. Let the young rider sit on the
TE100R , 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.
