NEVER use an ATV without an adequate period of apprenticeship.
If you are under the age of 16, you should not use an ATV with a higher displacement than 50 c.c.
The passenger transport needs more caution.
Driving on roads opened to traffic or on asphalted surfaces needs a particular care.
It is advisable the use of the helmet and of adequate cloths, which are composed by gloves, robust shoes, a jacket with sleeves and long
trousers.
NEVER use the vehicle, after having substances, which may alter the driving ability.
Do not drive, keeping an excessive speed, compared to your abilities and to the route conditions.
NEVER do jumps, rearings, or other acrobatics.
Always check your ATV, before using it, to verify its security.
Using the ATV, always keep both the hands on the handlebar and the feet on the running boards.

Do not change the ATV, installing or using unsuitable accessories.
Do not exceed the loading capacity, which is established for your ATV. The loading must be suitably arranged and fixed. Regulate the speed
and follow the instructions of this manual, regarding the loading and the towing of a barrow. Keep a bigger security distance in case of braking.
