Check the key conditions of the vehicle, like tire pressure, brakes, accelerator, oil level, and fuel, to avoid any unnecessary delays on your ride.
Always wear a helmet for greater protection in the event of a rollover or crash.
Be aware of the terrain you are riding in advance to become familiar with potential obstacles or dangers.
Do not drive on the road, as the tires on most ATVs and UTVs are designed for dirt and loose surfaces, not concrete or pavement.
On inclines and declines, drive in the center of the trail if it’s safe and not on the side, as the sides may have a higher chance of experiencing a rollover.
If you are travelling on an angle, position your body to the opposite side to maintain balance and avoid a rollover. If climbing a steep slope, stand on the foot pegs and pull the rear and front brakes cautiously (press and release several times).
If you experience stuck or buried tires, adjust your body weight from one side to the other of the ATV until it is released.
Consider taking an ATV driver training course online or a UTV Safety Training course to ensure full knowledge and understanding.
