WHAT TO DO ...

If your ATV doesn't turn when you want
it to:
Bring the ATV to a stop and practice the
turning maneuvers again. Be sure you
are putting your weight on the foot-
board to the outside of the turn. Position
your weight over the front wheels for
better control. (See pages 7-22 ~ 7-23.)
If your ATV begins to tip while turning:
Lean more into the turn to regain bal-
ance. If necessary, gradually let off the
throttle and/or steer to the outside of the
turn. (See pages 7-22 ~ 7-23.)
If your ATV starts to slide sideways:
Steer in the direction of the slide if you
have the room. Applying the brakes or
accelerating is not recommended until
you have corrected the slide. (See pages
7-38 ~ 7-39.)
If your ATV can't make it up a hill you are
trying to climb:
Turn the ATV around if you still have for-
ward speed. If not, stop, dismount on
the uphill side of the ATV and physically
turn the ATV around. If the ATV starts to
slip backwards DO NOT USE THE REAR
BRAKE - the ATV may tip over on top of
you. Dismount the ATV on the uphill
side. (See pages 7-24 ~ 7-27.)
