Supervision

Overview

You’re responsible for supervising those

who ride your ATV. Your wisdom is valu-

able... it’ll bring them all back safely—your

friends, your family, your relatives, and

your ATV. It’s crucial that you consider

yourself a supervisor for all riders of your

ATV. Whether you accept responsibility or

not, the truth is that you are responsible for

others riding your ATV.

You’re to the last letter in “PASS”...

“Supervision.” You’ve just gone through

the manual, and you’ve seen what’s

involved. That puts you in a good posi-

tion to be confident about what you

know. So now it’s time to use your

knowledge and supervise others who ride

your ATV.

Inexperienced/

Untrained Riders

You can’t let people ride your ATV who

don’t know what they’re doing. Unless

they’ve had over a year of experience with

ATV riding or taken an ATV training

course, it’s your responsibility to keep

them off your ATV. It can be dangerous

(especially for under-aged children)—all

the more reason for you to be firm.

Experienced/Trained

Riders

If anyone is going to borrow your ATV,

you are responsible for their supervision.

Before they ride, have them take the

training course, have them watch the

safety video, and have them read the

Operator’s Manual. You train them. It

doesn’t matter how you do it, as long as

you do it.

ATV’s are all a little different from the

handling to the stability to the controls.

So regardless of how much experience

your family members have with ATV’s,

they don’t have experience with your

ATV. Let experienced riders get familiar

with your ATV—show them the basics

before they take off. You don’t want it on

your conscience that someone got hurt

because you didn’t tell them how to use

your ATV.

Remember that regardless of

experience, you should never let

anyone under the age of 16 oper-

ate your ATV

.

Arctic Cat and the ATV Safety Institute

recommend that all ATV operators ride

the appropriate-sized ATV according to

age.
