OPERATION
Driving 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 before wheels
begin to lose traction.
NOTICE: Severe damage to drive
train may occur if the
4X4 is engaged while the
wheels are spinning.
Allow the rear wheels to
stop spinning before engaging 4X4, or engage 4X4 before wheels
begin to lose traction.
4. Maintain a high level of alertness, reading the trail and avoiding
quick, sharp turns, which can cause skids.
5. Never apply the brakes during a skid. Correct a skid by turning the
handlebars in the direction of the skid and shifting your body
weight forward.
