OPERATION
Driving with a Passenger
1. Never allow anyone under 12 years of age to ride as a passenger on
this 2-up vehicle. Make sure any passenger is tall enough to
comfortably and safely reach the grab handles and footrests.
2. Do not carry a passenger until you have at least two hours of driving
experience with this vehicle.
3. Make sure the passenger is wearing appropriate riding gear,
including an approved helmet with a rigid chin guard. See page 16.
4. Perform the pre-ride inspection. See page 50.
5. Always make sure the passenger seat is installed and securely
latched before operating with a passenger.
6. Lock the parking brake.
7. Mount the vehicle from the left side. After the operator is seated, the
passenger should mount the vehicle from the left side. Always make
sure the brake is engaged to ensure the vehicle remains motionless
whenever a passenger mounts or dismounts.
8. Allow a passenger to ride only in the approved passenger seat.
9. Do not carry more than one passenger.
10. Slow down. Control may be more difficult with a passenger on
board. Allow more time and distance for braking.
11. Ride to the ability of your passenger, instead of to your own ability.
Avoid unexpected or aggressive maneuvers that could cause a
passenger to fall from the vehicle.
12. Do not cross a hillside with a passenger on board. See page 58.
13. 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 passenger should never hold on to the operator.
14. Make sure the passenger understands the importance of "active
riding." When hill-climbing or performing maneuvers, a passenger
should shift body weight in the same manner in which the driver
shifts body weight. For example, the passenger should lean to the
inside of a turn along with the operator and should always lean
uphill when climbing and descending hills.
