ATV Safety Alert You should be aware that AN ATV IS NOT A TOY AND CAN BE HAZARDOUS TO OPERATE. An ATV handles differently from other vehicles, including motor- cycles and cars. A collision or rollover can occur quickly, even during routine maneuvers such as turning and driving on hills and over obstacles, if you fail to take proper precautions. TO AVOID SEVERE INJURY OR DEATH: * Never operate an ATV at excessive speeds. Go at a speed which is proper for the terrain, visibility conditions, and your experience. * Never attempt to do wheelies, jumps, or other stunts.
* Always be careful when operating an ATV, especially when approaching hills, turns, and obstacles and when operating on unfamiliar or rough ter- rain. * Never lend an ATV to anyone who has not taken a training course or has not been driving an ATV for at least a year. * Always read the Operator’s Manual carefully and follow the operating pro- cedures described. Pay special attention to the warnings contained in the man- ual and on all labels. * Never operate an ATV without proper instruction. Take a training course. Beginners should complete a training course.
* Never operate an ATV without an approved motorcycle helmet, eye pro- tection, boots, gloves, long pants, and a long-sleeved shirt or jacket. ! WARNING Indicates a potential hazard that could result in a serious injury or death. 4
