    ATV Safety Alert

    You should be aware that an ATV is not a toy and may be dangerous to operate.

    An ATV handles differently from other vehicles, including motorcycles and cars. According to the Consumer Product Safety Commission, an ATV can roll over on the rider or violently throw the rider without warning and even hitting a small rock, bump or hole at low speed can upset the ATV. To avoid death or severe personal injury, never ride an ATV without proper instruction. Take a training course. Beginning riders should receive training from a certified instructor.

    Never lend your ATV to anyone who has not taken a training course or has not been riding an ATV for at least a year. Never allow a child under 16-years old to ride an ATV without adult supervision. Children need to be observed carefully because not all children have the strength, size, skill or judgment needed to ride an ATV safely. Never ride an ATV after consuming alcohol or drugs. Never carry a passenger on a single-rider vehicle. Carrying a passenger may upset the balance of the ATV and may cause it to go out of control. Never ride an ATV on pavement. The vehicle is not designed to be used on paved surfaces and may be difficult to control. Never ride an ATV on a public road, even a dirt or gravel one, because you may not be able to avoid colliding with other vehicles. Also, riding on a public road with an ATV may be against the law. Never attempt to do wheelies, jumps or other stunts. Never ride an ATV without a good helmet and goggles. You should also wear boots, gloves, heavy trousers and a long-sleeve shirt. Never ride an ATV at excessive speeds. Always be extremely careful when riding an ATV, especially when approaching hills, turns and obstacles and when riding on unfamiliar or rough terrain. Always read the owners manual carefully and follow the operating procedures described. For more information about ATV safety, call the ATV Safety Institute at (800) 887-2877, or go to www.atvsafety.org.

    WARNING:

    Motor vehicle mishaps, in competition or otherwise, can result in injury or death. Minors without parental consent or supervision should never use motor vehicles.
