WARNING

Skidding or sliding improperly may cause you
to lose control of this ATV. You may also re-
5
gain traction unexpectedly, which may cause
the ATV to overturn.

G Learn to safely control skidding or sliding by
practicing at low speeds and on level,
7
smooth terrain.
G
On extremely slippery surfaces, such as ice,
8
go slowly and be very cautious in order to re-
duce the chance of skidding or sliding out of
9
control.
10
Care should be used when riding on loose or slip-
pery surfaces since the ATV may slide. If unex-
11
pected and uncorrected, sliding could lead to an
accident.
To reduce the tendency for the front wheels to slide
in loose or slippery conditions, positioning your
weight over the front wheels will sometimes help.
If the rear wheels of your ATV start to slide side-
ways, control can usually be regained (if there is
room to do so) by steering in the direction of the
slide. Applying the brakes or accelerating is not
recommended until you have corrected the slide.
