4. Make sure the passenger is wearing appropriate riding gear, including an
approved helmet with a rigid chin guard. See the Rider Comfort section for
details.
5. Perform the pre-ride inspection. See the Pre-Ride Checklist section for
details.
6. Lock the parking brake.
7. Mount the vehicle from the left side. After the operator is seated, the
passenger should mount the vehicle from the left side. Always make sure the
brake is engaged to ensure the vehicle remains motionless whenever a
passenger mounts or dismounts.
8. Slow down. Control may be more difficult with a passenger on board. Allow
more time and distance for braking.
9. Ride to the ability of your passenger, instead of to your own ability. Avoid
unexpected or aggressive maneuvers that could cause a passenger to fall
from the vehicle.
10. Do not cross a hillside with a passenger on board.
11. A passenger should always be seated in the passenger seat with both feet
on the footrests and both hands on the passenger grab handles at all times.
The passenger should never hold on to the operator. Never secure a
passenger to the vehicle or to the operator with a belt, rope or similar device.
12. Make sure the passenger understands the importance of “active riding.”
When hill-climbing or performing maneuvers, a passenger should shift body
weight in the same manner in which the driver shifts body weight. For
example, the passenger should lean to the inside of a turn along with the
operator and should always lean uphill when climbing and descending hills.
