IMPORTANT SAFETY INFORMATION
There is much that you can do to protect yourself when you drive. You’ll find many helpful recommendations throughout this article. The following are a few that we consider most important.
1. Follow the Age Recommendation
It is strongly recommended that no one under the age of 16 be permitted to drive BUGGY without adult supervision.
2. Always Wear a Helmet
It’s a proven fact that helmets significantly reduce the number and severity of head injuries. Always wear an approved motorcycle helmet. We also recommend that you wear eye protection, sturdy boots, gloves, and other protective gear.
3. Drive Off-Road Only or Street
If your BUGGY is designed and manufactured for off-road use only . The tires are not made for pavement, and the BUGGY 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 BUGGY across.
4. Take Time to Learn & Practice
Even if you have driven other BUGGY, take time to become familiar with how this BUGGY works and handles. Practice in a safe area until you’ve built your skills and gotten accustomed to this Buggy’s size and weight.
Because many accidents involve inexperienced or untrained drives, we urge all drivers to take a training course approved by the BUGGY Safety Institute. Check with your dealer for more information on training courses.
5. Be Alert for Off-Road Hazards & Read Terrain
The terrain can present a variety of challenges when you drive 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.
6. Drive within Your Limits
Pushing limits is another major cause of BUGGY accidents. Never drive 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 drive safely.
7. Don’t Drink and Drive
Alcohol and driving don’t mix. Even one drink can reduce your ability to respond to changing conditions, and your reaction ability gets worse with every additional drink. So don’t drink and drive, and don’t let your friends drink and drive either.
8. Do not operate this BUGGY at night
Dark vision can greatly reduce a driver’s visibility and judgment. So driving at night is dangerous and can increase possibility for accident.
9. Never run your BUGGY indoors
The exhaust from the engine contains a tasteless, odorless and poisonous gas called carbon monoxide.
10. Keep away from moving parts of the BUGGY
The operator of the BUGGY should never place their hands or other parts of their body near any moving part of the BUGGY. Failure to adhere to this warning will cause physical harm to your body.
11. Skidding or Sliding
The terrain surface can be a major factor affecting turns. Skidding a turn is more likely to occur on slippery surfaces such as snow, ice, mud and loose gravel. If you skid on ice, you may lose all directional control. To avoid skidding on slippery terrain, keep your speed low and drive carefully.
