High-er speeds require greater experience,knowledge and suitable riding condi-tions.Not all vehicles are the same. Eachhas its own unique performance char-acteristics, controls and features.Each will ride and handle differently.Never assume that the vehicle will goeverywhere safely. Sudden changesin terrain caused by holes, depres-sions, banks, softer or harder "ground"or other irregularities may cause thevehicle to topple or become unstable.To avoid this, slow down and alwaysobserve the terrain ahead. If the vehi-cle does begin to topple or tipover, it isusually the best advice to immediatelyget off... AWAY from the direction ofthe tipover!40 ___________ SAFETY INFORMATION ___________
