overturn.

Learn to safely control skidding or sliding by practicing at low speeds and
on level, smooth terrain.
On extremely slippery surfaces, such as ice, go slowly and be very cau-
tious in order to reduce the chance of skidding or sliding out of control.

Tires may float, causing loss of traction and loss of control, which could
lead to an accident.
HOW TO AVOID THE HAZARD
Never operate this ATV in fast flowing water or in water deeper than that
specified in the Operator's Guide and the Safety Handbook .
Remember that wet brakes may have reduced stopping ability. Test your
brakes after leaving water. If necessary, apply them several times to let
friction dry out the pads.

You could hit an obstacle or person behind you, resulting in serious injury.
HOW TO AVOID THE HAZARD
When you select reverse gear, make sure there are no obstacles or people
behind you. When it is safe to proceed, go slowly.
