Taking Care of the Unexpected

Should you ever have a problem while riding, please follow these
guidelines:

• Always put personal safety first.
• Take time to assess the situation and your options before

deciding what to do.

• If the problem is relatively minor and you have the tools, supplies,

and skills to make a temporary repair, be sure to have permanent
repairs made as soon as possible.

• Do not continue riding if you are hurt or your ATV is not in safe

riding condition.

Additional recommendations for specific problems follow.
