SAFETY INFORMATION
EBU17512
AN ATV IS NOT A TOY AND CAN BE HAZARD-
OUS TO OPERATE. An ATV handles differently
from other vehicles, including motorcycles and
cars. A collision or rollover can occur quickly, even
during routine maneuvers such as turning and
riding on hills or over obstacles, if you fail to take
proper precautions.
SEVERE INJURY OR DEATH can result if you do
not follow these instructions:
●
Read this manual and all labels carefully and fol-
low the operating procedures described.
●
Never operate an ATV without proper training or
instruction. Take a Training Course. Beginners
should receive training from a certified instruc-
tor. Contact an authorized ATV dealer or call 1-
800-887-2887 to find out about the training
courses nearest you.
●
Always follow the age recommendation:
– A child under 16 years old should never oper-
ate an ATV with engine size greater than 90 cc.
●
Never allow a child under age 16 to operate an
ATV without adult supervision, and never allow
continued use of an ATV by a child if he or she
does not have the abilities to operate it safely.
●
Never carry a passenger on an ATV.
●
Always avoid operating an ATV on any paved
surfaces, including sidewalks, driveways, park-
ing lots and streets.
●
Never operate an ATV on any public street, road
or highway, even a dirt or gravel one.
●
Never operate an ATV without wearing an ap-
proved motorcycle helmet that fits properly. You
should also wear eye protection (goggles or face
shield), gloves, boots, a long-sleeved shirt or a
jacket, and long pants.
●
Never consume alcohol or drugs before or while
operating this ATV.
●
Never operate at speeds too fast for your skills
or the riding conditions. Always go at a speed
that is proper for the terrain, visibility, operating
conditions, and your experience.
●
Never attempt wheelies, jumps, or other stunts.
