The QUAD is driven differently form other vehicles such as cars and motorbikes. Even during routine manoeuvres like turns, driving on slopes or over obstacles, collisions or tumbles can occur if the correct precautions are not taken. - Always perform the routine checks described in this manual before using the QUAD, to make sure it is in perfect operating condition. - Riding a QUAD is not like driving any other vehicle, especially when cornering. Practise on flat, open ground free from obstacles and other vehicles. Read the recommendations made by this manual in the section "Use of the QUAD". - The same applies to steep climbs or descents. Start practicing with minimum slopes and raise the difficulty little by little. Advice about this is also included in the section mentioned above. - In case the engine stalls, follow the procedure described in this manual. If the engine stalls and the vehicle starts rolling backwards, follow the special braking procedure described in this manual. Get off the vehicle to the higher on the slope than the vehicle. Remember that your safety comes before that of the machine, and it is important to keep this priority in mind. - When traversing a slope, move your weight to the uphill side; read the manual regarding this. Avoid excessively slippery slopes or loose surfaces. - Never try to overcome big obstacles, like rocks or trunks. This vehicle has not been designed for this purpose; you may damage the vehicle and/or cause injury to yourself. - Do not try to make the vehicle slide sideways if you don't master this technique; this is a particularly dangerous manoeuvre. Like in the cases described above, do some testing on flat, wide, obstaclefree ground beforehand and follow the advice given in this manual. You must never lose control of the vehicle. WARNING If these instructions are not followed, serious injury or even death may result. - Do not drive the QUAD before reading the following sections: "Safety information", "Use of the QUAD", and "Main parts of the vehicle". Even if you are an experienced QUAD driver, not all makes and models are equal and it is necessary to know the machine in depth before starting on your first outing. - You are not allowed to carry a passenger, and the vehicle is not equipped for that purpose. - Sit correctly with both hands on the h ...
