IMPORTANT SAFETY INFORMATION
Your BUGGY will provide you with many years of service and pleasure, providing you take responsibility
for your own safety and understand the challenges you will meet while driving.
There is much that you can do to protect yourself when driving your BUGGY. You'll find many helpful
recommendations throughout this manual. The following are a few of the most important ones.
Follow the Age Recommendation
It is strongly recommended that no one under age of 16 be permitted to drive this BUGGY without adult
supervision.
Always Wear a Helmet
Facts have proven that helmets can significantly reduce the quantity and severity of head injuries, so when
you drive your BUGGY, please always wear an approved motorcycle helmet. We also recommend that you
wear approved goggles, sturdy boots, durable gloves and other protective gear.

Drive Off-Road Only
Your BUGGY is designed and manufactured only for off-road use. Its tires are not made for pavements, and
it does not have turn signals or other features required for use on public roads. If you need to cross a paved
or public road, please get off and walk your BUGGY across.
Take Time to Learn & Practice
Even if you have driven other buggies, you still should take time to become familiar with how this BUGGY
works. Practice in a safe area until you have built your skills and gotten accustomed to this Buggy’s size and
weight.
Because many accidents have involved inexperienced or untrained drivers, we urge all drivers to take a
training course approved by the Buggy Safety Institute. Check with your dealer for more information on the
training course.
Be Alert to Off-Road Hazards
The terrain can present a variety of challenges. Continually "read" the terrain for unexpected turns, drop-offs,
rocks, ruts and any other hazards. Always keep your speed low enough to allow time for seeing and reacting.

10
Drive within Your Limits
Pushing limits is another major cause of BUGGY accidents. Never drive beyond your personal abilities or
faster than conditions warrant. Remember that alcohol, drugs, fatigue and inattention can significantly
reduce your ability to make good judgments and to drive safely.
Don't Drink and Drive
Alcohol and drive never mix. Even one drink can reduce your ability of responding to changing conditions,
and every additional drink can lengthen and worsen your reaction time. So don't drink and drive, and don't
let your friends drink and drive either.
Never Drive Indoors
The exhaust from the engine contains a tasteless, odorless but poisonous gas called carbon monoxide. For
the health of your family, please don’t drive your BUGGY in your lovely house.
Keep away from Moving Parts
You should never place your hands or any other parts of your body near any moving parts of your BUGGY.
Failure to adhere to this warning will cause physical harm to your body.

Avoid Skidding or Sliding
The terrain surface can be a major factor affecting turns. Skidding or sliding a turn is more likely to occur on
slippery surfaces such as snow, ice, mud and loose gravel. If you skid or slide on ice, you may lose all
directional controls. To avoid skidding or sliding on slippery terrain surfaces, you should keep your speed
low and drive carefully.
This section presents some of the most important information and recommendations to help you drive your
BUGGY safely. Please take a few minutes to read it.

SAFETY LABELS
The labels should be considered permanent parts
of your BUGGY. If a label comes off or
becomes difficult to read, please contact your
dealer for warning label replacements.

Protective Apparel
For your safety, we strongly recommend that you always wear an approved motorcycle helmet, approved
goggles sturdy boots, durable gloves, long pants and long-sleeved shirt or jacket whenever you drive.
Although complete protection is not possible, wearing proper protective apparel can reduce the chances of
injuries when you drive.
The following suggestion will help you choose the proper driving gear.
1. Helmets and Eye Protection Gear
Your helmet is your most important driving gear because it offers the best protection against head injuries.
Your helmet should fit your head comfortably and securely.
An open-face helmet offers some protection, but a full-face helmet offers more. Regardless of the style,
look for the helmet with a DOT (Department of Transportation) sticker.
Always wear a face shield or a pair of goggles to protect your eyes and vision.

• Durable off-road motorcycle gloves to help protect your hands;
• Driving pants with knee and hip pads, a driving jersey with padded elbows, and a chest and shoulder
protector.

any protective apparel could increase your chances of head and/or eye injuries, and even
possibly death in the event of severe accidents.

IS YOUR VEHICLE READY TO DRIVE?
Before each of your drive, it is important to inspect your BUGGY and make sure that any problems you’ve
found have been corrected. A pre-drive inspection is a must, not only for safety, but also because a breakdo-
wn, or even a flat tire, can be a major inconvenience.
If your BUGGY has overturned or has been involved in a collision, please don’t drive it until your dealer has
inspected it. There may be damages or other problems you can’t see.
zImproperly maintaining your BUGGY or failing to correct a problem before driving can cause a
crash in which you can be seriously hurt or even killed.
