Braking - Coleman 800ATV-2 Owner's Manual

6-6 Operation
WARNING
POTENTIAL HAZARD
When turning at a high speed with the
differential locked.
WHAT CAN HAPPEN
Two rear wheels will rotate at the same speed,
which will make turning more difficult and the
ATV may tip over. This may cause injury or
death.
HOW TO AVOID THE HAZARD
Limit speed in cornering to less than 15.5 mph
(25 KM/H).

BRAKING

An ATV performs differently as the load and
the road conditions vary. When braking, pay
special attention to the following points:
1. Leave enough distance for braking.
2. Longer braking distance is needed when
an ATV is operated at a higher speed.
3. Longer braking distance is needed when
the ATV carries heavier loads.
4. Longer braking distance is needed when
driving an ATV on wet roads.
5. Riding an ATV on wet roads at high
speeds, and abruptly applying the
brakes may cause the ATV to go out of
control. So slow down and be cautious
when riding an ATV on wet roads.
6. Remember that wet brakes will reduce
brake performance. Operate your ATV at
safe speeds and apply the brakes
several times to let friction dry the linings.
