Supervision

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

Taking Responsibility

You're to the last letter in "PASS" . . .
"Supervision." You've just gone through
Division 1 of this 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 riding an all-terrain vehicle or taken
a training course, it's your responsibility
to keep them off your ATV. It can be dan-
gerous (especially for underaged chil-
dren) — 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.
TRV's are a little different from the han-
dling to the stability to the controls. So
regardless of how much experience your
family members have, they don't have
experience with your ATV. Let experi-
enced 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.
