rides in terrain that is too difficult, he or she
may lose control of the ATV, causing an acci-
dent.
Introduce new riding areas slowly and make
sure the riding area matches your child’s skill
level.
You must make the commitment to your child’s
proper use of the ATV. Your child must rely upon
you to be sure he or she has the development,
proper training, and proper equipment, as well as
an appropriately sized ATV and an appropriate
riding area.
Be sure your child is ready to learn how to ride
As a parent, your first step is to decide when your
child has the strength, skills, and judgment to learn
how to operate an ATV safely. Re-evaluate your
child’s readiness before every use; a child who is
too tired or distracted should not be allowed to op-
erate the ATV.
Be sure your child is properly trained
Your child should take a certified training course.
Training will continue with you as the instructor, so
you should be sure you thoroughly understand
proper riding techniques before continuing to in-struct your child. Go through this Owner’s Manual
page by page with your child and be sure he or she
understands how to operate the ATV properly.
Be sure your child is wearing all the proper
safety equipment
Your child must always wear an approved motor-
cycle helmet that fits properly. Your child should
also wear the safety equipment described in the
Riding Your ATV section of this manual.
Choose an appropriate riding area
Select an area appropriate for your child to learn to
ride. (See page 7-8.) Follow the instructions in the
Riding Your ATV section of this manual. Choose a
large, flat, unpaved road or area that is free of ob-
stacles and away from other vehicles.
Supervise every use of the ATV
Because an adult must supervise every ATV oper-
ator under age 16, you should closely watch your
child every time he or she uses the ATV. Be ready
to intervene immediately if the child is not operat-
ing according to your guidelines. This ATV is fitted
with an engine stop switch cord (lanyard) device
that will let you stop the engine remotely as you
walk behind the vehicle.
