**YOUR ATV COULD BE HOTTER THAN YOU THINK!**
Beautiful fall days are perfect for hitting the trails! But don't let the cooler season fool you.

Even after recent rain, warm sunshine and wind can quickly dry out fallen leaves, grass and vegetation, creating a potential fire hazard.

Your ATV's exhaust and engine components can become extremely hot. Dry leaves and debris collecting around these areas can smoulder or even ignite.

**A few simple precautions can make a difference:**

✔️ Check for leaves and debris around your engine and exhaust.
✔️ Avoid parking or idling in dry grass or leaves.
✔️ Allow hot components to cool before removing trapped debris.
**A quick check could prevent a fire!**

Enjoy those beautiful fall rides while protecting your machine, our trails and the environment.

**Ride Smart. Ride Safe. Protect Our Trails.**

RIDING CAN CLEAR YOUR HEAD.
BUT YOUR HEAD STILL NEEDS TO BE IN THE RIDE.

For many of us, getting out on the trails is a chance to unplug, reset and leave the stresses of the day behind.

But before you ride, check in with yourself.

Stress, frustration, fatigue and distraction can affect your focus and the decisions you make on the trail.

If your mind is somewhere else, slow things down. Take a break. Give yourself time to reset.

Your ATV may be your stress reliever — just make sure you’re ready for the ride too.

Ride aware. Ride focused. Ride safe.
