Important Safety Information
Your ATV can provide many years of service and pleasure if you take
responsibility for your own safety and understand the challenges you
can meet while riding.
There is much that you can do to protect yourself when you ride. You’ll
find many helpful recommendations throughout this manual. The
following are a few that we consider to be most important.
Follow the Age Recommendation
The minimum recommended age for this ATV model is 16. Children
under age 16 should never operate this vehicle.
Always Wear a Helmet
It’s a proven fact: helmets significantly reduce the number and severity
of head injuries. So always wear an approved motorcycle helmet. We
also recommend that you wear eye protection, sturdy boots, gloves, and
other protective gear (page ).30
Never Carry a Passenger
Your ATV is designed for one person only. There are no handholds,
footrests, or seat for a second person, so never carry a passenger. A
passenger could interfere with your ability to move around to maintain
your balance and control of the ATV.

ATV Safety
Important Safety Information
Ride Off-road Only
Your ATV is designed and manufactured for off-road use only. The
tyres are not made for pavement, and the ATV does not have turn
signals and other features required for use on public roads. If you need
to cross a paved or public road, get off and walk your ATV across.
Take Time to Learn & Practice
Even if you have ridden other ATVs, take time to become familiar with
how this ATV works and handles. Practice in a safe area until you build
your skills and get accustomed to the ATV’s size and weight.
Be Alert for Off-road Hazards
The 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 allow
time to see and react to hazards.

Important Safety Information
Ride within Your Limits
Pushing limits is another major cause of ATV crashes. Never ride
beyond your personal abilities or faster than conditions warrant.
Remember that alcohol, drugs, fatigue, and inattention can significantly
reduce your ability to make good judgments and ride safely.
Don’t Drink and Ride
Alcohol and riding don’t mix. Even one drink can reduce your ability to
respond to changing conditions, and your reaction time gets worse with
every additional drink. So don’t drink and ride, and don’t let your
friends drink and ride either.
Keep Your Honda in Safe Condition
It’s important to keep your ATV properly maintained and in safe riding
condition. Having a breakdown can be difficult, especially if you are
stranded off-road far from your base. To help avoid problems, inspect
your ATV before every ride and perform all recommended maintenance.
