The risk of an accident is greatly increased if the operator
does not know how to operate the ATV properly in different
situations and on different types of terrain.
HOW TO AVOID THE HAZARD
Beginning and inexperienced operators should complete the
certified training course offered by Polaris Industries Inc.
They should then regularly practice the skills learned in the

authorized ATV dealer or call Polaris at 1-800-342-3764.

ATVs are recommended, he or she may not have the skills,
abilities, or judgment needed to operate the ATV safely and may
be involved in a serious accident.
