With practice, over a period of time, skill at controlled sliding
can be developed. The terrain should be chosen carefully
before attempting such maneuvers, since both stability and
control are reduced. Bear in mind that sliding maneuvers
Should always be avoided on extremely slippery surfaces
such as ice, since all control may be lost.

WHAT TO DO...
●
If your ATV doesn
’t turn when you want it to:
Bring the ATV to a stop and practice the turning man-
euvers again. Be sure you are putting your weight on
the footrest to the outside of the turn.
Position your weight over the front wheels for better control.
●
If your ATV begins to tip while turning:
Lean more into the turn to regain balance. If necessary,
gradually let off the throttle and/or steer to the outside of
the turn.
●
If your ATV starts to slide sideways:
Steer in the direction of the slide if you have the room.
Applying the brakes or accelerating is not recommended
until you have corrected the slide.
●
If your ATV can
’t make it up a hill you are trying to climb:
Turn the ATV around if you still have forward speed. If not,
stop, dismount on the uphill side of the ATV and physically
turn the ATV around. If the ATV starts to slip backwards,
DO NOT USE THE REAR BRAKE -- the ATV may tip over
on
top of you. Dismount the ATV on the hill side.
●
If your ATV is traversing a sloping surface:
Be sure to ride with your weight positioned towards the uphill
side of the ATV to maintain proper balance. If the ATV starts
to tip, steer down the hill (if there are no obstacles in your
way) to regain balance. If you discover that the ATV is going
to tip over, dismount on the uphill side.
●
If your ATV encounters shallow water:
Ride slowly and carefully through slow moving water,
watching for obstacles. Be sure to let water drain from the
ATV and CHECK YOUR BRAKES FOR PROPER
OPERATION when you come out of the water. Do not
continue to ride your ATV until you have regained adequate
braking ability.
