Riding on slippery surfaces
Whenever riding on slippery surfaces such as wet trails
or loose gravel, or during freezing weather, follow these
precautions:
1. Do not operate on excessively rough, slippery or
loose terrain.
2. Slow down when entering slippery areas.
3. Engage 4x4 drive before wheels begin to lose traction.
NOTE
Severe damage to drivetrain may occur if the 4x4 is
engaged while the wheels are turning. Allow the rear
wheels to stop before engaging 4x4, or engage 4x4
before wheels begin to lose traction.
4. Maintain high level of alertness, reading the trail and
avoiding quick turns which can cause slides.
5. Never apply the brakes during the slide. Correct the
slide by turning the handlebars in the direction of
slide.
