A Guide to ATV Safety

Whether you’re an experienced rider or new to the world of ATVs, it’s important to know the necessary safety precautions when out for a ride. While ATVing can be a thrilling experience, this also means it comes with the risk of different hazards. But don’t worry! There are ways to best ensure your four-wheeler is operating safely and running as smoothly as possible. 

Here is a quick guide to proper ATV safety. 

Maintain Your ATV

Regular maintenance is key to the overall vehicle performance and safety of your ATV. That's why you will want to make sure that you inspect your four-wheeler before every ride. You will want to check multiple parts of your vehicle, including the air pressure on each tire, fluid levels, the signals, and the lights. Additionally, remember to always refill your fuel tank beforehand, for the optimal riding experience!

Make Yourself Visible

Low visibility on the trails can lead to collisions and accidents, which is why you will want to make sure you are visible to those around you. There are a few easy ways to achieve this. Try to wear brightly colored riding gear with reflective accessories and ensure that your ATV’s lights are strong and functioning at full capacity! 

Pack a Toolkit

Remember to bring the essential tools for your trip. In case of a problem with your ATV, the right tools can help fix a simple maintenance issue so you can return home safely. Although it’s best to include a comprehensive kit, it’s important to at least bring the necessities including items like wrenches, zip ties, a flashlight, a tire plug kit, and duct tape.
