Environment
Off-road recreation is a privilege. Maintain your privilege by respecting the environment and the rights of
others to enjoy it:
•
Chasing wildlife is illegal. Wildlife can die of exhaustion if chased by a motorized vehicle.
•
Never purposely damage the terrain unless the operating area is designated for that type of activity.
•
Observe the rule..."what you take in, carry out". Do not litter.
Practice Exercises
Before you go out for a ride, it is very important to familiarize yourself with the handling of your vehicle by
practicing in a controlled environment. Find a suitable area to practice and perform the following exercises. It
should be at least 147 ft × 147 ft. ( 4 5 m × 45 m ) , and free of obstacles like trees and large rocks.
Remember: Avoid higher speeds until you are thoroughly familiar with the operation of your vehicle.
NOTE:
Low gear is the preferred transmission gear selection for all forward motion other than prolonged high speed
travel. Do not use high gear for continuous slow speed travel or towing, as this can lead to excessive heating
of the clutch system, which may damage components.
Turning Exercise
Turning is one of the most frequent causes of accidents. It is easier for the vehicle to lose traction or rollover
if you turn too sharply, or go too fast. Slow down when you approach a turn.
Practice turning:
•
First, learn how to perform slight right turns at very low speeds. Release the throttle before turning and
slowly reapply the throttle�
