2-1 Safety Information
AN ATV IS NOT A TOY AND CAN BE HAZARDOUS 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 follow the operating procedures described.
 Never operate an ATV without proper training or instruction. Take a Training Course.
Beginners should receive training from a certified instructor.
 Always follow the age recommendation:
A child under 16 years old should never operate an ATV with engine size greater
than 90cc.
 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.
SAFETY INFORMATION

Safety Information 2-2
 Never operate an ATV without wearing an approved motorcycle helmet that fits properly.
You should also wear eye protection (goggles or face shield), gloves, boots, long-sleeved
shirt or 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 conditions. Always go at a speed that
is proper for the terrain, visibility and operating conditions, and your experience.
 Never attempt wheelies, jumps, or other stunts.
 Always inspect your ATV each time you use it to make sure it is in safe operating condition.
Always follow the inspection and maintenance procedures and schedules described in this
manual.
 Always keep both hands on the handlebars and both feet on the footboards of the ATV
during operation.
 Always go slowly and be extra careful when operating on unfamiliar terrain. Always be alert
to changing terrain conditions when operating the ATV.
 Never operate on excessively rough, slippery or loose terrain until you have learned and
practiced the skills necessary to control the ATV on such terrain. Always be especially
cautious on these kinds of terrain.

2-3 Safety Information
 Always follow proper procedures for turning as described in this manual. Practice turning
at low speeds before attempting to turn at faster speeds. Do not turn at excessive speed.
 Never operate the ATV on hills too steep for the ATV or for your abilities. Practice on
smaller hills before attempting larger hills.
 Always follow proper procedures for climbing hills as described in this manual. Check the
terrain carefully before you start up any hill. Never climb hills with excessively slippery or
loose surfaces. Shift your weight forward. Never open the throttle suddenly. Never go over
the top of a hill at high speed.
 Always follow proper procedures for going down hills and for braking on hills as described
in this manual. Check the terrain carefully before you start down any hill. Shift your weight
backward. Never go down a hill at high speed. Avoid going down a hill at an angle that
would cause the vehicle to lean sharply to one side. Go straight down the hill where
possible.
 Always follow proper procedures for crossing the side of a hill as described in this manual.
 Avoid hills with excessively slippery or loose surfaces. Shift your weight to the uphill side of
the ATV. Never attempt to turn the ATV around on any hill until you have mastered the
turning technique described in this manual on level ground. Avoid crossing the side of a

Safety Information 2-4
steep hill if possible.
 Always use proper procedures if you stall or roll backwards when climbing a hill. To avoid
stalling, use proper gear range and maintain a steady speed when climbing a hill. If you
stall or roll backwards, follow the special procedure for braking described in this manual.
Dismount on the uphill side or to a side if pointed straight uphill. Turn the ATV around and
remount, following the procedure described in this manual.
 Always check for obstacles before operating in a new area. Never attempt to operate over
large obstacles, such as large rocks or fallen trees. Always follow proper procedures when
operating over obstacles as described in this manual.
 Always be careful when skidding or sliding. Learn to safely control skidding or sliding by
practicing at low speeds and on level, smooth terrain. On extremely slippery surfaces,
such as ice, go slowly and be very cautious in order to reduce the chance of skidding or
sliding out of control.
 Never operate an ATV in fast flowing water or in water deeper than that recommended in
this manual. Remember that wet brakes may have reduced stopping ability. Test your
brakes after leaving water. If necessary, apply them several times to let friction dry out the
linings.

2-5 Safety Information
 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.
 Always use the size and type tires specified in this manual.
 Always maintain proper tire pressure as described in this manual.
 Never modify an ATV through improper installation or use of accessories.
 Never exceed the stated load capacity for an ATV. Cargo should be properly distributed
and securely attached. Reduce speed and follow instructions in this manual for carrying
cargo or pulling a trailer. Allow greater distance for braking.
