Sound Judgment
Tread Lightly and leave it as you found it.
Trail Riding
Use sound judgment when trail riding; that means riding on a trail
that fits your ability level. If the trail is pretty rugged, standing up
on your footrests will make it easier for you to endure the rough
terrain.
Make yourself visible by using headlights and taillight and pull
completely off the trail if you need to stop.
Outsloped trails (trails that slant to allow rain to run off) make
trail riding a bit more challenging. Accepting that challenge
means keeping your weight shifted into the slope. Denying the
challenge means sliding off the trail.
It also helps to know which trails you can ride and who else might
be on those same trails. These are signs currently used in some
areas to designate trail types and restrictions.
ATV-0068
The last thing you expected was that your ATV would break down
in the middle of the field... it’s usually so reliable that sometimes
you forget the ATV has its limits.
ATV Maintenance
You have to maintain your ATV. The General Maintenance sec-
tion of this Operator’s Manual tells you about taking care of your
ATV. If, at any time, abnormal noises, vibrations, or improper
functioning of any component of this ATV is detected, DO NOT
OPERATE THE ATV. Take the ATV to an authorized Arctic Cat
ATV dealer for inspection and adjustment or repair.
