Sliding And Skidding - E-TON Viper 90R Owner's Manual

SLIDING AND SKIDDING

WARNING
Skidding or sliding improperly may cause you
to lose control of this ATV. You may also regain
traction unexpectedly, which may cause the
ATV to overturn.
Learn to safely control skidding or sliding
by practicing at low speeds and on level,
smooth terrain.
On extremely slippery surfaces, such as ice,
go slowly and be very cautious in order to
reduce the chance of skidding or sliding
out of control.
Care should be used when riding on loose or slip-
pery surfaces since the ATV may slide. If unexp-
ected and uncorrected, sliding could lead to an
accident. To reduce the tendency for the front
wheels to slide in loose or slippery conditions, po-
sitioning your weight over the front wheels will
sometimes help.
If the rear wheels of your ATV start to slide side-
ways, control can usually be regained (if there is
room to do so) by steering in the direction of the
slide. Applying the brakes or accelerating is not
recommended until you have corrected the slide.
