Supervision

Overview
You're responsible for supervising those who ride your ATV. Your
wisdom is valuable... it'll bring them all back safely - your friends,
your family, your relatives, and your ATV. It's crucial that you con-
sider yourself a supervisor for all riders of your ATV. Whether you
accept responsibility or not, the truth is that you are responsible for
others riding your ATV.

Taking Responsibility

You're to the last letter in "PASS"... "Supervision." You've just gone
through the manual, and you've seen what's involved. That puts you
in a good position to be confident about what you know. So now it's
time to use your knowledge and supervise others who ride your ATV.
Inexperienced/Untrained Riders
You can't let people ride your ATV who don't know what they're
doing. Unless they've had over a year of experience with ATV riding
or taken an ATV training course, it's your responsibility to keep them
off your ATV. It can be dangerous (especially for underaged children)
- all the more reason for you to be firm.
Experienced/Trained Riders
If anyone is going to borrow your ATV, you are responsible for their
supervision. Before they ride, have them take the training course,
have them watch the safety video, and have them read the Operator's
Manual. You train them. It doesn't matter how you do it, as long as
you do it.
! WARNING
Indicates a potential hazard that could result in a serious injury or death.
ATV's are all a little different from the handling to the stability to the
controls. So regardless of how much experience your family mem-
bers have with ATV's, they don't have experience with your ATV.
Let experienced riders get familiar with your ATV - show them the
basics before they take off. You don't want it on your conscience that
someone got hurt because you didn't tell them how to use your ATV.
Remember that regardless of experience, you should never let
anyone under the age of 14 operate your ATV.
Arctic Cat and the ATV Safety Institute recommend that all ATV
operators ride the appropriate-sized ATV according to age.
