Atv Condition - Arctic Cat 650 2011 Operator's Manual

Prevention
Helmets should have one of these:
1. DOT label
2. Snell label
3. ANSI Z90.1 label
These helmets should provide full-face
protection.
If you drop or damage your helmet, get a
new one immediately. Your helmet may
not protect your head from injury if it has
cracks, fissures, or other damage to its
outside or core padding.
Remember, your helmet won't do you any
good if the chin strap isn't fastened.
Eye Protection
Wear eye protection, such as goggles, to
completely surround your eyes to prevent
getting dirt or other items in your eyes.
Do not depend on sunglasses for proper
eye protection. Sunglasses are not recom-
mended; they don't prevent objects from
flying in through the sides.
One easy way to remember what parts you need to check is by using the acronym "T-
CLOC." It stands for:
T
TIRES CONTROLS AND
AND WHEELS
! WARNING
Long Pants and Long
Sleeved Shirt
The goal is to protect your body from
branches, long grass, airborne objects, or
anything else that could scrape your skin.
The more thick and durable the material,
the better protection it'll provide. Riding
pants with kneepads, a jersey, and shoul-
der pads provide the best protection.

ATV Condition

The second step in Prevention is check-
ing the condition of your ATV. Chances
are good that you'll be using your ATV in
some rough terrain, and there's no way
you want your brakes to go out when rid-
ing downhill. You need to check the fol-
lowing parts on your ATV before every
ride.
1. Tires and Wheels
2. Controls and Cables
3. Lights and Electric
4. Oil and Fuel
