Safe Riding
There’s no denying how much fun ATVs and side-by-sides are, but it’s your responsibility to never get carried away or deliberately risk injury to yourself or others. The good news is, it’s pretty easy to stay safe.
Key Considerations to Off Road Vehicle Safety
age & Size
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.
gear
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.
off road only
Never ride on paved surfaces or public roads. Never carry a passenger on a single-rider ATV.
Perform a Pre-Ride Inspection
Tire Condition
Are your tires inflated to appropriate pressure? Use a low-pressure gauge to assess pressure. Do you notice cuts, gouges or leaks?
Wheels
Rock front and rear wheels to check for loose axle nuts and bad bearings. Are cotter pins secure?
brakes
Are your vehicle's brakes responding properly? Do they feel and sound like they are in good condition?
Throttle
Is the throttle working properly with the handlebars in any position? Are cables and controls in good condition?
Shifter
Is your ATV's foot shifter attached correctly and positioned appropriately?
Lights
Are your tires inflated to appropriate pressure? Use a low-pressure gauge to assess pressure. Do you notice cuts, gouges or leaks?
Oil Level
Rock front and rear wheels to check for loose axle nuts and bad bearings. Are cotter pins secure?
Driveshaft & Chassis
Check your driveshaft and chassis for loose part and debris. Do you notice any damage or wear?
Fuel Level
Check that your fuel level is topped off, or above what you would expect to need for your trip.
Protective Gear & Field Kit
Are you wearing appropriate attire and protective gear? Do you have a tool kit and first aid stashed?
In-person Training & Safety Resources
