SAFETY INFORMATION
THE QUAD is not a toy: driving it can be dangerous.
The QUAD is driven differently form from other vehicles such as
cars and motorbikes. Even during routine manoeuvres like turns,
driving on slopes or over obstacles, collisions or tumbles can occur
if the correct precautions are not taken.
WARNING
If these instructions are not followed, serious injury or even death
may result.
- Do not drive the QUAD before reading the following sections:
"Safety information", "Use of the QUAD", and "Main parts of the
vehicle". Even if you are an experienced QUAD driver, not all makes
and models are equal and it is necessary to know the machine in
depth before starting on your first outing.
- You are not allowed to carry a passenger, and the vehicle is not
equipped for that purpose.
- Sit correctly with both hands on the handlebars, your feet on the
footrests and your back straight up.
- Always control your speed according to your skills, the weather
and ground conditions.
- Pay attention to surface changes and control your speed when
you are not familiar with the conditions.
- Always perform the routine checks described in this manual before
using the QUAD, to make sure it is in perfect operating condition,
- Riding a QUAD is not like driving any other vehicle, especially
when cornering. Practise on flat, open ground free from obstacles
and other vehicles.
Read the recommendations made by this manual in the section "Use
of the QUAD".
- The same applies to steep climbs or descents. Start practicing with
minimum slopes and raise the difficulty little by little. Advice about
this is also included in the section mentioned above.
- Follow the procedures described in this manual if the engine stalls.
If the engine stalls and the vehicle starts rolling backwards, follow
the special braking procedure described in this manual. Get off the
quad on the uphill of the slope. Remember that your safety comes
before that of the machine, and it is important to keep this priority
in mind.
- When traversing a slope, move your weight to the uphill side; read
the manual regarding this. Avoid excessively slippery slopes or loose
surfaces.
- Never try to overcome big obstacles, like rocks or trunks. This
vehicle has not been designed for this purpose; you may damage
the vehicle and/or cause injury to yourself.
- Do not try to make the vehicle slide sideways if you don't master
this technique; this is a particularly dangerous manoeuvre. As stated
above, do some testing on flat, wide, obstacle-free ground beforehand
and follow the advice given in this manual. You must never lose
control of the vehicle.
