Safety Information
on the foot pegs at all times. Do not direct your toes outwards nor extend your
feet out to assist in turning as they can be hit or be snagged on passing ob-
stacles, or may come into contact with the wheels.
Even though there is a suspension on this vehicle, there are “washboard” or
rough terrain conditions that will make you feel uncomfortable and can even
cause a back injury. “Posting” or riding in a crouched position will often be re-
quired. Slow down and allow your flexed legs to absorb part of the impact
energy.

If you have to cross a road, the lead driver should get off his vehicle, then ob-
serve and give directions to the other riders. The last person after crossing then
assists the lead driver to cross. Do not travel on sidewalks. They are designated

Practice turning at low speeds before attempting to turn at faster speeds.
Keep both hands on handlebars and feet on foot pegs.
Maintain a constant speed or a slight acceleration during turn.
To reduce the risk of rollovers:
–
Use care when turning.
–
Do not turn the handlebar too far or too fast for your speed and environ-
ment. Adjust steering inputs accordingly.
–
Slow down before entering a turn. Avoid hard braking during a turn.
–
Avoid sudden or hard acceleration when turning, even from a stop or low
speed.
–
Never attempt donuts, skids, slides, fishtails, jumps, or other stunts. If vehicle
starts to skid or slide, steer in the direction of the skid or slide. Never slam the
brakes and lock the wheels.
–
Avoid paved surfaces. This vehicle is not designed to operate on paved surfa-
ces and is more likely to roll over. If you must drive on pavement, turn gradu-
ally, go slowly, and avoid abrupt acceleration and braking.
Avoid sudden inputs to steering, throttle or brakes while turning.
