Cannondale ATV Owner's Manual - Warning
48
KEEP YOUR HANDS AND FEET ON THE
CONTROLS
Riding ATV’s safely means being in complete control of
the vehicle at all times.
Always keep your hands on the handle grips and your
feet on the footpegs. By removing your hands and feet
from the handle grips and footpegs you risk serious injury
and losing control of this ATV.
ATTENTION MOTORCYCLE RIDERS:
You may have a motorcycle riding technique to unlearn!
The common practice of removing a foot from your
motorcycle footpegs when rounding a turn is VERY
DANGEROUS if done on an ATV. If you take your foot off
the footpeg while turning the rear tires will run over your
foot or leg and cause severe injury - maybe even death.
WARNING
POTENTIAL HAZARD
Removing hands from handlebars or feet from
footpegs during operation.
WHAT CAN HAPPEN
Removing even one hand or foot can reduce your
ability to control the ATV or could cause you to lose
you balance and fall off the ATV. If you remove a foot
from the footpeg, your foot or leg may come into
contact with the rear wheels, which could injure you
or cause an accident.
HOW TO AVOID THE HAZARD
Always keep both hands on the handlebars and both
feet on the footpegs of your ATV during operation.
