Going Downhill 

 

Note: Place your gravity as backward as possible and straighten 

both of your arms. Keep the ATV in balance and apply the 

rear brake to slow down your speed.   

 

Unless otherwise necessary, do not press the accelerator 

lever. 

Do not apply only the front brake to avoid the ATV flipping 

over. 

 

 

Riding Through Water 

 

Watch  the  speed  of  water  current  and  its  depth  if  riding  through 

water  is  necessary.  If  water  flows  very  fast  or  is  deep,  the 

performance  of  the  ATV  will  be  affected,  which  may  cause 

unsafety to the rider. 

 

 

 

 

 

Notes:   

 Do  not  ride  across  a  river  with  fast  current  or  great  depth  to 

avoid loss of control of the ATV and cause risk of hazard to the 

rider. 

 After crossing the water area, you should check that the brake 

function is normal. If it is not, slow down your speed and also 

intermittently  apply  both  front  and  rear  brakes  to  restore  the 

brake function. 

 If it takes a long period of time to ride through the water area 

and the brake system submerges in water too long, it will lead 

to loss of brake function. Do not ride this ATV any longer and
