Supervision Overview You’re responsible for supervising those who ride your ATV. Your wisdom is valu- able... it’ll bring them all back safely—your friends, your family, your rel- atives, and your ATV. It’s crucial that you consider yourself a supervisor for all riders of your ATV. Whether you accept responsi- bility or not, the truth is that you are responsible for others riding your ATV. TRV’s are a little different from the han- dling to the stability to the controls. So regardless of how much experience your family members have, they don’t have experience with your ATV. Let experi- enced riders get familiar with your ATV—show them the basics before they take off.
You don’t want it on your con- science that someone got hurt because you didn’t tell them how to use your ATV. Remember that regardless of experience, you should never let anyone under the age of 16 oper- ate your ATV . Taking Responsibility You’re to the last letter in “P.A.S.S.”... “Supervision.” You’ve just gone through the manual, and you’ve seen what’s involved. That puts you in a good posi- tion to be confident about what you know. So now it’s time to use your knowledge and supervise others who ride your ATV. Inexperienced/ Untrained Riders You can’t let people ride your ATV who don’t know what they’re doing.
Unless they’ve had over a year of experience with ATV riding, it’s your responsibility to keep them off your ATV. It can be dangerous - all the more reason for you to be firm. Experienced Riders If anyone is going to borrow your ATV, you are responsible for their supervision. Before they ride, have them read the Operator’s Manual. You train them. It doesn’t matter how you do it, as long as you do it. 2411-257 ! WARNING Indicates a potential hazard that could result in a severe injury or death. 22
