  • Page 52: Recreational Riding

    IV RIDING THE VEHICLE 4) Recreational Riding Respect the rights and limitations of others. Stay away from areas designated for other types of off road use. This includes snowmobile trails, equestrian trails, cross country ski trails, mountain bike trails, etc. Never assume there are no other users on the trail.

  • Page 53: Design Limitation

    IV RIDING THE VEHICLE Observe the rule “what you take in, carry out”. Do not litter. Do not start camp- fires unless you have permission to do so and then only away from dry areas. The hazards you may create on the trail may cause injury to others or yourself, even at a later date.
  • Page 54 IV RIDING THE VEHICLE Body Position To maintain proper control, it is strongly advised that you keep your hands on the handlebar and within easy reach of all controls. The same holds true for your feet on the foot pegs. To minimize the possibility of a leg or foot injury, keep your feet on the foot pegs at all times.
  • Page 55 IV RIDING THE VEHICLE Riding on Roads Always respect all road traffic laws when operating your vehicle on public roads or streets. If you have to cross a road, the lead driver should get off his vehicle the ob- serve and give direction to the other riders. The last person after crossing then as- sists the lead driver to cross.
  • Page 56 IV RIDING THE VEHICLE If you do get into a slide or skid, it may help to turn the handlebar in the direction of the skid until you regain control. Never jam the brakes and lock the wheels. Braking Always keep both hands on handlebars and feet on foot pegs when braking. Practice braking to get familiar with the brake response.
  • Page 57 IV RIDING THE VEHICLE Uphill Driving 1-UP Models Before trying to climb a hill, keep these things in mind. Hill Climbing should only be attempted by experienced operators. Start on shallow slopes. Always drive straight uphill and keep your body weight forward towards the top of the hill. Keep your feet on the footrests, shift your ATV into a lower gear and accelerate before you start to climb.
  • Page 58 IV RIDING THE VEHICLE too steep to safely stop or recover from after an unsuccessful climbing attempt. Try to avoid steep inclines. If you're not careful, you could tip over when going up hills. If the hill is too steep and you cannot proceed or the vehicle begins to roll backwards, apply the brake, being careful not to slide.
  • Page 59 IV RIDING THE VEHICLE vmo2012-012-526 Downhill Driving 1-UP Models Keep your body weight rearwards. Stay seated. Apply the brake gradually to pre- vent skidding. Do not “coast” down the slope using solely engine compression or in neutral gear. Decelerating while negotiating a slippery downhill slope could “toboggan” the vehicle.
  • Page 60 IV RIDING THE VEHICLE Operator and passenger must keep their body weight rearwards. Apply the brake gradually to prevent skidding. Do not “coast” down the slope using solely engine compression or in neutral gear. Try to avoid steep inclines. If you're not careful, you could tip over when going down hills.

  • Page 62 IV RIDING THE VEHICLE vmo2012-012-524 Wet brakes will affect the braking ability of your vehicle. Make sure you dry the brakes by applying them several times after the vehicle leaves the water, mud or snow. Allow greater distance for braking. Mud or marsh lands may be encountered near water.
  • Page 63 IV RIDING THE VEHICLE straight line slide of the vehicle. Again, the best advice is to safely reduce speed in anticipation of a maneuver so to give yourself time and distance to regain total ve- hicle control before it spins out of your control. As you drive your ATV over a loose snow covered surface, snow dust will be picked up in the wake turbulence of the moving vehicle and transported to contact and accumulate or melt on some exposed components including rotating parts...
  • Page 64 IV RIDING THE VEHICLE Riding on Loose Stones Riding on loose stones or gravel is very similar to riding on ice. They will affect the steering of vehicle possibly causing it to slide or tip over especially at high speeds (resulting in operator and passenger ejection (2-UP models).
