!! CAUTION !!
Before riding, manually move the
ATV forward and backward to make
certain that all wheels roll freely.
1. If the brakes are frozen, take the
ATV to a warmer area to thaw out
the brakes.
!! WARNING !!
Never attempt to free frozen brakes
by pouring warm water on the bra-
ke pads and housings!
q NOTE
After the brakes thaw, dry them by
applying them several times while
riding slowly.

NOTE
After riding through water, mud and
snow, it is important to dry both

when riding on snow-covered or
ice-covered terrain. Always be alert
to changing terrain conditions when
operating the ATV!
2. Practice driving in an open
snow-covered or ice-covered area
before driving on ice-covered
trails.
3. Learn how the ATV responds to
steering and braking on an ice-co-
vered terrain.
