Basic Operation & Riding 101
Riding Your ATV
The terrain surface can be a major factor affecting turns. Skidding
during a turn is more likely to occur on slippery surfaces, such as
snow, ice, mud and loose gravel. If you skid on ice, you may lose all
directional control. To avoid skidding on slippery terrain, keep your
speed low and ride with caution.
If your ATV skids sideways during a turn, steer in the direction of the
skid. Avoid hard braking or accelerating until you have regained
directional control.
Remember that steering the handlebar in the front differential lock
mode will cause steering to be heavy and increase turning radius.
