rope)
The figures quoted are emission levels and are not
necessarily safe working levels. Whilst there is a
correlation between the emission and exposure
levels, this cannot be used reliably to determine
whether or not further precautions are required.
Factors that influence the actual level of exposure
of work-force include the characteristics of the
work room, the other sources of noise, etc. i.e. the
number of machines and other adjacent process-
es, and the length of time for which an operator is
exposed to the noise. Also the permissible expo-
sure level can vary from country. This information,
however, will enable the user of the machine to
make a better evaluation of the hazard and risk.

WARNING
ALWAYS
:
• use proper riding techniques to avoid
vehicle overturns on hills and rough
terrain and in turns.
• avoid paved surfaces—pavement may
seriously affect handling and control.
Improper ATV use can result in SEVERE INJURY or DEATH.
NEVER USE
WITH DRUGS
OR ALCOHOL
ALWAYS USE
AN APPROVED HELMET AND
PROTECTIVE GEAR NEVER USE
ON PAVED ROADS NEVER CARRY
PASSENGERS
NEVER
operate:
• without proper training or instruction.
• at speeds too fast for your skills or the
conditions.
• on public roads—a collision can occur with
another vehicle.
• with a passenger—passengers affect
balance and steering and increase risk
of losing control.
LOCATE AND READ OWNER’S MANUAL. FOLLOW ALL INSTRUCTIONS AND WARNINGS.
