OPERATION OF YOUR ATV
Driving Safely
Responsibilities of the operator
As the operator of this ATV, your common sense, judgment, and abilities are the only factors that will prevent
injury to yourself, to others around you, and/or damage to the vehicle or environment.
Recreational, group, and distance riding
One of the benefits of this vehicle is that it can take you off-road away from most communities. Stay
away from areas designated for other types of o-road use unless it is specically allowed. This includes
snowmobile trails, equestrian trails, cross country ski trails, mountain bike trails, etc. Join a local ATV club. A
club can provide you with a map and advice, or inform you about areas where you can ride.
Always keep a safe distance from other riders ahead of you and behind you when riding in a group. Never
operate carelessly or make unexpected maneuvers with other ATVs close by. Stay on designated trails and
riding areas, and discourage others from operating in unauthorized locations.
Environment
O-road ATV recreation is a privilege. Maintain your privilege by respecting the environment and the rights of
others to enjoy it. Chasing wildlife is illegal. Wildlife can die of exhaustion if chased by a motorized vehicle.
Never purposely damage the terrain unless the operating area is designated for that type of activity. Observe
the rule…”what you take in, carry out”. Do not litter.
