Speedrack
When installing Speedrack accesso-
ries, read and carefully follow the
instructions provided in each kit.

NOTE: Use extra caution when
operating an ATV with additional
loads such as accessories and/or
cargo. Handling of the ATV may be
adversely affected. Reduce speed
when adding additional loads.
A safe, enjoyable ride is dependent on
many personal choices. An ATV, like all
motorized vehicles, can be dangerous to
operate if you choose to ignore safety
precautions, take unnecessary chances, or
ride beyond your ability or your vehicle’s
capability. Don’t allow the thrill of free-
dom or adventure to affect your ability to
make good, safe choices.
Alcohol and Drug
Consumption
Alcohol is related to a high percentage of
all hospital admissions due to ATV acci-
dents in the U.S. This isn’t an issue of
morality. It’s extremely dangerous to
drink alcoholic beverages and ride... it’s
also very foolish. When the alcohol starts
kicking in and you’re tearing along on
your ATV, those odds can catch up to
you.
