Atv Operation - Arctic Cat 350 Manual

ATV Operation

1. With the transmission in neutral,
move the ATV forward and back-
ward to check that the wheels roll
freely. If the ATV will not roll, the
tires may be frozen to the ground or
the brake pads may be frozen to the
discs.
2. If the tires are frozen to the ground,
pour warm water around them to
melt the ice.
CAUTION
Before riding, manually move the
ATV forward and backward to make
certain that all wheels roll freely.
3. If the brakes are frozen, take the
ATV to a warmer area to thaw out
the brakes.
! WARNING
Do not attempt to free frozen brakes
by pouring warm water on the brake
pads and housings.
NOTE: After the brakes thaw, dry
them by applying them several
times while riding slowly.
NOTE: After riding through water,
mud, snow, or slush, it is important
to dry both brake systems before
parking the ATV.
! WARNING
Go slowly and be extra careful when
riding on snow-covered or ice-cov-
ered terrain. Always be alert to
changing terrain conditions when
operating the ATV.
4. Practice driving in an open snow-
covered or ice-covered area at slow
speeds before driving on snow-cov-
ered or ice-covered trails.
5. Learn how the ATV responds to
steering and braking on the type of
terrain to be encountered on the ride.
Stopping The ATV
To stop the ATV, first release the throttle
lever. Next, apply the brake.
Stopping The Engine

switch key to the OFF position.
