Kawasaki ZX-7 78410 - Manual (Page 27)

• Adult supervision is required. Children
do not have the judgement necessary to
avoid many accidents. Be sure that
children operating this vehicle can do so
safely and that they are supervised at all
times.
• Never use on or dangerously close to
steps, inclines greater than 10˚, roadways,
bodies of water, low obstructions or in the
dark.
• Always wear shoes or sneakers when
operating this vehicle.
• Never allow more than one rider.
• The rider should sit on the seat when the
vehicle is in motion.
• Improper use of this vehicle could lead to
a serious or fatal accident. Allow children
to play with the Kawasaki
® ZX-7 only
when you have determined that they can
do so safely. Follow all instructions to help
your child enjoy this vehicle as safely as
possible.
Teach Safety Rules to Children
While children can quickly develop the skill necessary
to drive this vehicle, it is important to remember
that their judgment skills are still very immature.
Unsupervised driving by children can lead to serious
injury. Before children use the Kawasaki
® ZX-7 , an
adult should carefully evaluate the driving area as
well as the children’s skill level and ability to drive this
vehicle safely.Children are not always able to recog-
nize or anticipate hazards, even when they have
been taught about them. There is no acceptable
substitute for adult supervision.
Teach appropriate safety rules to your child before
you allow her to operate this vehicle. These rules
should also be reviewed with neighborhood children
or other playmates who want to drive or ride in this
vehicle.
• To avoid damaging the motor and gears,
do not overload the vehicle.
- Never allow more than one child on the
vehicle at one time.
- Do not exceed the maximum weight
capacity of 50 lbs.
- Do not tow anything behind the
Kawasaki ® ZX-7. The extra weight
may overload the vehicle.
• Avoid operating the vehicle in wet or snowy
conditions, and do not spray the vehicle
with a hose. Do not wash the vehicle with
soap and water. Water or moisture in the
motor or electrical switches can cause
them to corrode, and could cause switch
failure.
• Avoid operating the vehicle on sand, loose
dirt or gravel. Sand, loose dirt and gravel
in the electrical switches or motor can
cause them to jam, and could cause
switch failure. Use the Kawasaki
® ZX-7
on asphalt, cement or other hard surfaces.
1. Do not allow any child to drive the vehicle in the
street or near moving (motorized) vehicles.
2. Do not allow any child to drive near bodies of
water (such as pools or creeks), obstructions (such
as furniture, low tree limbs or play equipment), or
drop-offs (such as stairs or decks).
3. Do not allow any child to drive the vehicle in
the dark. A child could encounter unexpected
obstacles and have an accident. Operate the
vehicle only in the daytime or in a well-lit area.
4. Teach your child to avoid driving on steep inclines
or slopes. Restrict your child’s driving to areas that
are fairly level with gentle inclines or slopes of no
more than 10°.
• While driving down a steep slope, the vehicle
may gain unsafe speed, even if the foot pedal is
released to stop.
