Always keep both hands on handlebars and feet on footpegs when

braking.

Practice braking to get familiar with the brake response.

– Do it at low speed first, then increase the speed.

– Practice braking in straight line at different speeds and different

braking force.

– Practice emergency braking; optimal braking is obtained in straight

line, with high force applied, without locking the wheels.

Remember, braking distance depends on vehicle speed, load and the

type of surface. Also, the tires and brakes conditions play a major role.

N N O O T T E E : :

If going forward the vehicle weight is transferred to the front wheels

when braking. To obtain greater stopping efficiency, the brake system

distributes more braking force to the front wheels. This will affect ve-

hicle handling and steering control when braking vigorously. Take it in-

to account when braking.

When operating in reverse, check that the path behind the vehicle is

free of people or obstacles. Proceed slowly and avoid sharp turns.

When riding on a 2-UP model, take into account that the passenger

can obstruct your view. Disembark the passenger if necessary.

We recommend sitting on your ATV when operating in reverse. Avoid

standing up. Your weight could shift forward against throttle lever,

causing an unexpected acceleration.
