Important Safety Information - Joyner JNSZ1600QL Owner's Manual

IMPORTANT SAFETY INFORMATION

Your ATV will provide you with many years of service and pleasure. Providing you take
responsibility for your own safety and understand the challenges you can meet while driving.
There is a lot you can do to protect yourself when you drive. You'll find many helpful
recommendations throughout this manual. The following are a few that we consider most important.
Follow the Age Recommendation
It is strongly recommended that no one under the age of 16 be permitted to drive this ATV
without adult supervision.
Always Wear a Helmet
It's a proven fact: helmets significantly reduce the number and severity of head injuries. Always
wear an approved motorcycle helmet. We also recommend that you wear eye protection, sturdy boots,
gloves, and other protective gear.
Drive Off-Road Only
Your ATV is designed and manufactured for off-road use only. The tires are not made for pavement,
and the ATV does not have turn signals and other features required for use on public roads. If you need
to cross a paved or public road, get off and walk your ATV across.
Take Time to Learn & Practice
Even if you have driven other ATV, take time to become familiar with how this ATV works and
handles. Practice in a safe area until you build your skills and get accustomed to this ATV's size and
weight.
Because many accidents involve inexperienced or untrained drives, we urge all drivers to take a
training course approved by the ATV Safety Institute. Check with your dealer for more information on
training courses.
Be Alert for Off-Road Hazards
The terrain can present a variety of challenges when you drive off-road. Continually "read" the
terrain for unexpected turns, drop-offs, rocks, ruts, and other hazards. Always keep your speed low
enough to allow time to see and react to hazards.
Drive within Your Limits
Pushing limits is another major cause of ATV accidents. Never drive beyond your personal
abilities or faster than conditions warrant. Remember that alcohol, drugs, fatigue, and inattention can
significantly reduce your ability to make good judgments and driver safely.
Don't Drink and drive
Alcohol and driving don't mix. Even one drink can reduce your ability to respond to changing conditions, and
your reaction time gets worse with every additional drink. So don't drink and drive, and don't let your friends drink
and drive either.
Never run your ATV indoors.
The exhaust from the engine contains a tasteless, odorless and poisonous gas called carbon
monoxide.
