Drop-Offs; Riding Techniques - BOMBARDIER OUTLANDER 330 H.O. 2x4 Operator's Manual

Drop-Offs

An ATV will "bottom-out" and usually stop if either the front or rear wheels are
driven over a drop-off. If the drop is sharp or deep, the vehicle will nose dive and
tip-over.
WARNING
Avoid negotiating drop-offs. Reverse and select an alternate route.

Riding Techniques

Riding your ATV too fast for the conditions may result in injury. Apply only enough
throttle to proceed safely. Statistics show that high speed turns usually result in
mishaps and injury. Always remember that an ATV is heavy! It's pure weight alone
may entrap you should it fall and pin you down.
ATVs are not designed for jumping nor can they, or you, absorb the energy of high
impacts such as jumping. Performing "wheelies" can cause the ATV to flip over
onto you. Both practices have a high risk and should be avoided at all times.
To maintain proper control it is strongly advised that you keep your hands on the
handlebar and within easy reach of all controls. The same holds true for your feet.
To minimize the possibility of any leg or foot injury, keep your feet on the footrests
at all times. Do not direct your toes outwards nor place your foot out to assist
turning as they can be hit or snagged by passing obstacles or may contact the
wheels.
