SAFETY Safety Warnings Carrying a Passenger Carrying a passenger greatly reduces the operator's ability to balance and control the ATV, which may result in an accident or overturn. Never carry a passenger on this ATV. Operating on Pavement Operating an ATV on paved surfaces (including sidewalks, paths, parking lots and driveways) may adversely affect the handling of the ATV and could result in loss of control and accident or overturn. Avoid operating the ATV on pavement. ATV tires are designed for off-road use. If it's unavoidable, travel slowly and avoid sudden turns or stops. Operating on Public Roads Operating this ATV on public streets, roads or highways could result in a collision with another vehicle. Never operate the ATV on any public street, road or highway, including dirt and gravel roads. In many states it's unlawful to operate ATVs on public streets, roads and highways. Operating at Excessive Speeds Operating the ATV at excessive speeds increases the operator's risk of losing control. Always operate at a speed that's appropriate for the terrain, the visibility and operating conditions, and your experience. 12
