Active Riding
Stalling on a Hill
If you use the right method for riding uphill, this shouldnít happen.
But if you have a problem, do this:
1. If the ATV hasnít started rolling backwards yet, follow the
procedure for the K-Turn,
OR
2. If the ATV is already rolling backward, lean as far forward as
possible standing up on the footrests.
3. Nice and easy, apply the front and rear brakes.
4. When you come to a stop, follow the procedure for the K-turn.
5. If the ATV continues to roll backward, dismount immediately on
the uphill side.
Crossing Water
Your ATV can only handle water up to its footrests. Any more than
that and you risk engine damage and/or personal injury. Stay away
from fast moving rivers. ATV tires can be buoyant, so if the water is
too deep, you might find the ATV suddenly afloat.
1. Physically check the depth and current of the water, especially if
you canít see the bottom. Youíre also checking for boulders, logs,
or any other hidden obstacles.
2. Keep your speed slow.
3. Make sure you have a way out on the other side of the water.
4. If you get stuck in the sludge or mud, try rocking the ATV from
side to side.
5. Once youíve cleared the water, briefly apply the brakes to make
sure they work.
