BASIC SAFE DRIVING
Protect Yourself, Use Proper Riding Gear
As appropriate to your operating conditions, wear
approved helmet,
eye protection,
and protective
clothing. Operating in a recreational setting, like trail
driving or any aggressive riding, could increase the
risk of head injury, and thus require head protection.
In these conditions, Kawasaki recommends that
operators and passengers wear a properly fitting
D.O.T. approved helmet. Wearing proper protective
gear can make driving more comfortable and could
reduce the severity of injury in the event of an acci-
dent.
Wearing Seat Belt
Both the operator and passenger should wear the
seat belts whenever the vehicle is operated.
This
will help prevent injury in case of a sudden stop or
collision.
Also, to reduce chance of injury, always keep arms
and legs inside the ROPS while the vehicle is in mo-
tion.
Before Starting the Engine
Three “musts” before starting the engine are:
1.
Apply the parking brake,
2.
Put the gear shift lever in the “N” (neutral) posi-
tion,
3.
Check the throttle pedal for proper operation. It
should return to its rest position when released.
Use the Parking Brake
Always apply the parking brake before getting out
of your vehicle.
Obey Local Laws
Know and obey all laws and regulations govern-
ing the use of off-highway vehicles in your area. Re-
spect private property. Always try to preserve nature
and the environment.
Refueling
Before refueling the vehicle, shut the engine off
and make sure the area is well ventilated and free
of any source of flame or sparks. Gasoline is very
flammable.

dling characteristics.
Check the tire pressure fre-
quently.
