6. Ride cautiously in unfamiliar areas. You may encounter hidden obstacles that could cause an
accident.

the machine.

Protective apparel

The majority of fatalities from machine accidents are the result of head injuries. The use of a safety
helmet is the single most critical factor in the prevention or reduction of head injuries.
1. Always wear an approved helmet.
2. Wear a face shield or goggles. Wind in your unprotected eyes could contribute to an impairment
of vision that could delay seeing a hazard.
3. The use of a jacket, heavy boots, trousers, gloves, etc., is effective in preventing or reducing
abrasions or lacerations.
4. Never wear loose-fitting clothes, otherwise they could catch on the control levers, footrests, or
wheels and cause injury or an accident.
5. Never touch the engine or exhaust system during or after operation. They become very hot and
can cause burns. Always wear protective clothing that covers your legs, ankles, and feet.
