An ATV is NOT a Toy and Can Be Hazardous To Operate
Always Supervise Inexperienced Riders
Supervision is another important obligation of the owner. Even after riders become
skilled o-road riders, it also helps to regularly remind all riders to follow the
instructions and warnings in this manual. And remember, it’s the owner’s
responsibility to see that the ATV is properly maintained and kept in safe operating
condition.
If you choose to lend your ATV to another rider, make sure the rider is 16 years old
or older and has completed the safety training course. You should understand that
the decision to lend the ATV is yours.
Use the below safety gear before operation:

injury. Below is the minimum protection recommended to wear during every ride:
1. Helmet
2. Eye Protection
3. Long Pants

Helmet
There are many dierent types and styles of helmet to choose from today. Be sure
to choose a helmet that complies with the current standards of the U.S. Department

standards have a dened label located on the inside or outside of the helmet.
