operation.
Approved helmets in the USA and Canada bear a U.S.
Department of Transportation (DOT) label.

procedures and schedules described in the
owner's manual.
PHYSICAL CONTROL OF THE ATV
Removing a hand from the handlebars or feet
from the footrests during operation can
reduce your ability to control the vehicle or
cause loss of balance and ejection from the
ATV. If the operator’s feet are not firmly
planted on the footrests, they could come into
contact with the rear wheels or other moving
parts and lead to accident or injury. Always
keep both hands on the handlebars and both
feet on the footrests of the ATV during
operation. A passenger should always be
seated in the passenger seat with both feet
on the footrests and both hands on the
passenger grab handles at all times. The
