Are You Ready To Drive; Protective Apparel; Helmets And Ayes Protection - Joyner Renegade R2 Owner's Manual

4 ARE YOU READY TO DRIVE?

Before each drive, you need to make sure you and your Renegade 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 Renegade, and adjustments to make for your comfort, convenience, and safety.
Before you drive your Renegade for the first time, we urge you to:
Read this owner's manual and the labels on your Renegade carefully.
■
Make sure you read and understand all the safety instruction before driving this vehicle.
■
Know how to operate all the controls.
■
Before each drive, be sure:
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.
■

Protective apparel

For your safety, we strongly recommend that you always wear an 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
when you drive.
The following suggestions will help you choose the proper driving gear.

Helmets and ayes protection

Your helmet is your most important piece of driving 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 DOT (Department of Transportation) sticker in any helmet you buy. Always wear a
face shield or goggles to protect your eyes and help your vision.
Additional Driving Gear
In addition to a helmet and eye protection, we also recommend:
Sturdy off-road motorcycle boots to help protect your feet, ankles, and lower legs.
■
Off-road motorcycle gloves to help protect your hands.
