Your ATV Adventure with Safety
An ATV is a great way to enjoy the outdoors.
ATVs - All Terrain Vehicles - handle differently from other
vehicles and it's important to understand safety guidelines
before you head for the hills. Take a look at these safety tips
and ensure your ATV adventure is always fun.
Follow
these Instructions for ATV Safety*
- Always read your Operator's Guide, Safety Handbook and
all labels carefully and follow the operating procedures described;
watch an ATV Safety Video.
- Take a training course. Never operate an ATV without proper
instruction.
- Always follow age and passenger recommendation for your
ATV (check with your dealer for specific guidelines)
- Never operate an ATV on any paved surfaces or public streets.
- Always wear protective gear including an approved helmet
that fits properly.
- Never consume alcohol or drugs before or while operating
this ATV.
- Inspect your ATV each time you use it to make sure it is
in safe operating condition.
- Be alert to changing terrain conditions; check for obstacles
before operating in a new area. Be cautious of excessively
rough, slippery or loose terrain. Never attempt to operate
over large obstacles, such as large rocks or fallen trees.
- Always follow proper procedures for climbing, descending
and crossing hills; check terrain before you start. Don't
attempt a hill too steep for the ATV or your abilities.
- Never operate an ATV in fast flowing water or in water deeper
than that specified in the Operator's Guide and the Safety
Handbook. Remember that wet brakes may have reduced stopping
ability.
- Always be sure there are no obstacles or people behind
you when you operate in reverse. When it is safe to proceed
in reverse, go slowly.
