�1HN76300010ATV SafetyThis section presents some of the most important information andrecommendations to help you ride your ATV safely. Please take a fewmoments to read these pages. This section also includes informationabout the location of safety labels on your ATV.Important Safety Information . 2Safety Labels. 5ATV Safety1

�1HN76300011Important Safety InformationYour ATV can provide many years of service and pleasure if you takeresponsibility for your own safety and understand the challenges youcan meet while riding.There is much that you can do to protect yourself when you ride. You’llfind many helpful recommendations throughout this manual. Thefollowing are a few that we consider most important.Follow the Age RecommendationThe minimum recommended age for this ATV model is 16. Childrenunder age 16 should never operate this vehicle.Always Wear a HelmetIt’s a proven fact: helmets significantly reduce the number and severityof head injuries. So always wear an approved motorcycle helmet. Wealso recommend that you wear eye protection, sturdy boots, gloves, andother protective gear (page 74 ).Never Carry a PassengerYour ATV is designed for one person only. There are no handholds,footrests, or seat for a second person so never carry a passenger. Apassenger could interfere with your ability to move around to maintainyour balance and control of the ATV.2ATV Safety

�1HN76300012Important Safety InformationRide Off-Road OnlyYour ATV is designed and manufactured for off-road use only. Thetires are not made for pavement, and the ATV does not have turn signalsand other features required for use on public roads. If you need to crossa paved or public road, get off and walk your ATV across.Take Time to Learn & PracticeEven if you have ridden other ATVs, take time to become familiar withhow this ATV works and handles. Practice in a safe area until you buildyour skills and get accustomed to the ATV’s size and weight.Because many accidents involve inexperienced or untrained riders, weurge all riders to take a training course approved by the ATV SafetyInstitute (ASI). See page 76 .Contact an authorized ATV dealer or call 1-800-887-2887 (USA only)to find out about the training courses nearest you.Be Alert for Off-Road HazardsThe terrain can present a variety of challenges when you ride off-road.Continually ‘‘read’’ the terrain for unexpected turns, drop-offs, rocks,ruts, and other hazards. Always keep your speed low enough to allowtime to see and react to hazards.ATV Safety3

�1HN76300013Important Safety InformationRide within Your LimitsPushing limits is another major cause of ATV accidents. Never ridebeyond your personal abilities or faster than conditions warrant.Remember that alcohol, drugs, fatigue, and inattention can significantlyreduce your ability to make good judgments and ride safely.Don’t Drink and RideAlcohol and riding don’t mix. Even one drink can reduce your ability torespond to changing conditions, and your reaction time gets worse withevery additional drink. So don’t drink and ride, and don’t let yourfriends drink and ride either.Keep Your Honda in Safe ConditionIt’s important to keep your ATV properly maintained and in safe ridingcondition. Having a breakdown can be difficult, especially if you arestranded off-road far from your base. To help avoid problems, inspectyour ATV before every ride and perform all recommended maintenance.4ATV Safety

�1HN76300014Safety LabelsYour ATV comes with a hang tag and several labels containingimportant safety information.
