INTRODUCTION
Your dealer should have provided you with some basic information on the par-
ticular controls and features of your new youth model vehicle. Please take the
time to study this Operator’s Guide and all on-product warning labels as well as
the SAFETY VIDEO that came with this vehicle. They more completely describe
what you should know about this vehicle before riding it.
Whether you are a new user or an experienced rider, it is important for your per-
sonal safety as well as passenger safety that you know the controls and features
of this vehicle. Equally important is knowing how to properly ride.
Irrespective of your age, experience or state regulations, it is always prudent for
you or any other person who may ride your vehicle, to take an approved safe
riding course. Please check with your dealer or local authorities for availability
in your area. If you are a completely new rider, this should be done before your
first ride. Your instructor should be able to provide advice on local conditions and
safe riding practices particular to the area.
Riding conditions vary from place to place. Each is subject to weather conditions
which may radically change from time to time and from season to season.
Riding on sand is different than riding on snow or through forests or marshes.
Each location may require a greater degree of awareness and skill may not be
suitable with a passenger. Show good judgement. Always proceed with caution.
Please do not take any unnecessary risks that could leave you or your passenger
stranded or possibly injured.
The contents of this Operator’s Guide provide riding information which has been
proven reliable by other users. They are not intended as a definitive means of
avoiding accidents. How you apply this information, coupled with your mental
and physical condition, the particular terrain hazard and your risk acceptance level
will have an effect on your riding experience. Have fun... and ride responsibly.
This Operator’s Guide has been prepared to acquaint the owner/operator of a
new vehicle with the various vehicle controls, maintenance and safe operating
instructions. They are indispensable for the proper use of the product.
We would be pleased to receive any comments on the content and format of this
Operator’s Guide, the SAFETY VIDEO or ON-PRODUCT WARNINGS LABELS.
