Quick Stops
Purpose:
•
Become familiar with the vehicle braking ability.

This exercise is like what you did before, except
you'll be applying the brake more firmly, working up
to braking at the maximum without locking the track
rotation. Always release the accelerator lever com-
pletely for quick stops.
Directions:
•
Start at one end of the straightaway and acceler-
ate to 8 km/h (5 mph). Partway down the straight-
away, release the accelerator lever completely and
brake quickly.
•
Keep head and eyes up, keep the handlebar
straight and do not release the brake until fully
stopped.

Repeat, increasing your speed and braking harder.
When you feel that the rotation of the track will be
stopped you need to release the pressure on the
brake lever. To maintain control, you need to keep
the track in rotation.
Operating in Reverse
Purpose: Become familiar with the vehicle handling
and turning radius in reverse.
Directions:
•
Activate the reverse mode and remain seated.
Refer to SWITCHING TO AND FROM REVERSE
in STARTING AND DRIVING.
•
Check that the area behind you is clear. While
looking backwards, slowly reverse and stop by
releasing the accelerator lever and using the
brake, just like when operating normally.
•
Keep your speed low and do not back up for long
distances.
