SKIDDING OR SLIDING
Skidding or sliding improperly can be
hazardous.
You may lose control of your ATV, or
regain traction unexpectedly, which
may cause the ATV to overturn.
● ●
Learn to safely control skidding or
sliding by practicing at low speeds
and on level, smooth terrain.
● ● On extremely slippery surfaces,
such as ice, go slowly and be very
cautious in order to reduce the
chance of skidding or sliding out of
control.
WARNING
You may experience skidding or sliding
when you are not braking. You may be able
to overcome it by using the techniques
listed below.
If your front wheel skids :
Gain front wheel traction by reducing the
throttle opening and leaning your body
weight slightly forward.
If your rear wheel skids :
If space permits, steer in the direction of
the skid. Shift your body weight away from
the skid slightly. Avoid using the throttle or
brakes until you regain directional control of
the ATV.
OPERATION ON HILLS
Operating this ATV on excessively
steep hills can be hazardous.
The ATV can overturn more easily on
extremely steep hills than on level
surfaces or small hills.
Never operate the ATV on hills too
steep for the ATV or for your abilities.
Practice on smaller hills before trying
larger hills.
