STEP 1 - PROPER CLOTHING AND PROTECTIVE GEAR The first step to safe riding is proper protection of the rider. Your child should always wear a helmet, eye protection, gloves, long pants, a long sleeved shirt or jacket, and boots.

These not only protect against abrasive injuries, but also help to reduce fatigue which comes from loss of body heat due to the wind. WARNING Failure to wear proper clothing and protective gear, as described above, may result in severe personal injury. STEP 2 - FAMILIARIZATION WITH THE VEHICLE Your child should become completely familiar with the names and functions of all controls. Let the young rider sit on the TE100 / 90 with the engine off, and ask , him/her to operate specific controls. Ask the child to do such things as"apply the brakes, turn off the engine, lock the parking brake" etc. Practice this , exercise until the child can operate all of the controls without hesitation and without looking at the controls. 30 Go over the INSPECTION BEFORE RIDING with your child until he/she knows all of the items that should be checked and how they should be checked.
