Martin Marine Sales Safety Tips
Safety Tips
Wear a helmet and eye protection at all times and other protective clothing suitable to the environment. If you have a UTV, WEAR YOUR SEATBELT/HARNESS!
Do not carry passengers on your ATV unless the ATV is designed by the manufacturer to do so (factory equipped with a passenger seat).
Do not let young or inexperienced riders operate ATVs without training and supervision. Youth ATVs are age specific as follows:
70cc and under - ages 6 -10
71cc - 180cc - ages 10-15 (Ranger 150 and RZR® 200 are included in this age range)
over 180cc - 16 and older
- Do not use alcohol or other drugs when you ride.
- Always maintain a safe distance between riders. Tailgating can lead to collisions and injuries.
- Ride with others and let someone know where you are riding. Never ride alone.
- Obey the laws.
- Stay on trails designated for ATVs or UTVs.
- Be informed of local weather conditions and dress and equip yourself appropriately.
- Know the area you are riding in. Be aware of its potential hazards.
- Always ride at a safe and responsible speed. Know your abilities and don't exceed those levels.
- Make sure your equipment is in top working order; check before heading out.
- Carry or downlaod a map of the trail or area you intend to travel.
- Learn proper riding skills from an instructor or qualified rider and practice such skills before riding. It is mandatory for all youth ages 8 - 15 to take a certified safety course before operating an ATV on any property other than property owned by their parent or guardian.
- Use common sense.
