What this sheet is for
Give every rider the same check before each ride, a column a day. A soft tyre or a sticking throttle is then found in the yard rather than on a slope.
Who it is for
Farms, estates, smallholdings, clubs and households with a quad bike or side-by-side, and anyone who lends one out.
How to use it
- Copy the tyre pressures and load and towing limits from the manual or the machine's labels into the boxes at the top.
- Before the first ride each day, work down that day's column and initial it.
- Cross anything that is not right and write it in the defect log.
- Do not ride until the defect is fixed and signed off.

Questions
Why are the tyre pressures left blank?
Because they differ from one machine and tyre to the next, and quad tyres run at low pressures where a small difference changes how the machine handles. Copy them from the manual or the label on the machine.
Does the sheet cover rider training or helmet rules?
No. It records the check of the machine and the kit the rider has on. Rules on training, helmets, passengers and road use differ by country and by workplace, so check the rules where you are.
