Quads
Only use a quad bike if another vehicle is not suitable for the job.
Do not use a quad bike if you haven't had training.
Helmets must be worn.
Use active riding to reduce the chances of a roll-over.
Don't overload the front or rear carriers maximum 30kg on the front and 60kg on the back.
Don't exceed the 40kph speed limit.
Maximum 450kg towing capacity. Don't tow trailers not designed for quad bikes, such as car trailers.
Note that if a trailer tips it can tip the whole quad bike - this is particularly a risk with the duster which has a high centre of gravity or with the spray trailer with the liquid sloshing around. Dusters also get a bounce going quite easily.
Quad bikes are not to go off tracks in the gullies.
Check the bike each day before use with T.C.L.O.W.C. - tyres, controls, lights, oil, water, chassis.
Only carry a passenger if there is no other option. Drive at low speeds and on even terrain only.
Don't attach unnecessary accessories as they can make injuries worse in an accident.
Take care dismounting quad bikes that you don't accidentally bump the throttle. Also, avoid transporting calves on quad bikes where possible as they can bump the throttle.
Take extra care when riding on the road, or riding with 4WD on as these conditions both affect controllability.
Always have your phone or other means of communication in case you need to call for help.
