TRACKER Off Road Rider Safety

TRACKER Off Road ATV and Side by Side vehicles are built to connect you and those you love—family and friends—with the great outdoors, and getting out there safely is a high priority. ATV riders should know how to drive and operate their offroad vehicle, as well as select the right safety gear, so that each ride is safe and enjoyable for all participants. The right preparation and practice makes it easier for any level rider to handle different hazards they may encounter while riding off road. See our tips for rider safety practices and top considerations below.






Age & Size Appropriate

With the exception of the 90, off-road vehicles are meant for operators age 16 years and older with a valid driver's license. Only ride an ATV that is right for your age.


Protective Gear & Equipment

For your safety, always wear a helmet, eye protection and protective clothing. Always wear a seat belt on side-by-sides.


Sober Operation

Avoid any substances that impair your awareness and motor skills while operating your ATV or SXS.


Safe Riding: Only Roads Less Traveled

Never ride on paved surfaces or public roads. Never carry a passenger on a single-rider ATV.

  • Under-inflated tires can cause wheel damage. Over-inflated tires can damage tires. Both can result in poor steering and handling.
  • Use a low-pressure gauge, not an automotive gauge.
Tires
  • Check tires for leaks, cuts or gouges.
Wheels
  • Ensure wheel axle nuts are tight and cotter pins are secured. Make sure wheel nuts are tight. Rock front and rear wheels to check for bad bearings or loose nuts.
brakes
  • Check brakes for proper operation.
Throttle
  • Make sure throttle works smoothly and correctly with the handlebars in any position. Check cables and controls aren’t damaged.
Foot Shifter
  • Ensure the foot shifter is correctly attached and positioned.
Lights
  • Test all lights.
oil
  • Check oil before starting engine.
driveshaft and chassis
  • Inspect driveshaft and chassis for loose parts.
Safety Gear
  • Make sure your tool kit and safety gear is in order.
