Active Riding - Tracker Off-Road 600 Operator'smanual

Tools
Routine maintenance will generally elim-
inate the need for emergency repairs.
Riding on rough terrain could loosen
nuts, bolts, and fasteners. Especially on
long rides, carrying the right tools can
prevent an inconvenience from becoming
a crisis.
Carry these items on your ATV:
1. Bulbs
2. Duct tape
3. Rope
Water
Water is so important that you need to
carry it regardless of the duration of your
ride. Heat exhaustion and heat stroke can
creep up suddenly and can take you out
of commission. If you become dehy-
drated, you could find yourself physi-
cally unable to safely operate your ATV.
Identification
If something does happen to you, the
emergency personnel will want to know
who you are and whom to contact. It's
possible you may be in no condition to
give them that information. Put your I.D.
in your pocket before you ride. Without
it, you're anonymous.

Active Riding

Overview
"Active Riding" is the second part of "P.A.S.S." It involves an understanding of how
your body weight, balance, gravity, and physical forces affect the handling of the
ATV. Knowing how to shift your weight is necessary to avoid rolling or flipping the
ATV.

Cellular Phone
It may be necessary to make an urgent
phone call.
Maps/GPS (Global
Positioning System)
Maps may be unnecessary when you're
familiar with the area. But when you're
riding on unfamiliar trails, it's good to
know where you are, what's coming up,
and how to get back.
Emergency Kit with
Flashlight and First-Aid Kit
You'll need several items in your emer-
gency kit including a flashlight. The
matches will come in handy if you need
to start a fire to stay warm. Flares are
appropriate for signaling help. A first-aid
kit is very important if an injury of some
type should happen. A good first-aid kit
should include
spray, gauze, tape, etc.
