RIDING INSTRUCTIONS

Guideline

–
Avoid slipping the clutch frequently and for prolonged periods. This heats the engine oil, the engine and the cooling system.
–
Ride with a lower engine speed instead of with a high engine speed and a slipping clutch.

Riding in bends
Info
When riding in bends, the outer wheels cover a greater distance than the inner wheels. Because the rear axle of the ATV is rigid in
design, the rear wheels turn at the same speed. The difference in distance is compensated by slippage of the tires.

Warning
Danger of accidents
Excessive speed and turning at sharp angles can cause the
vehicle to roll over.
–
Decrease your speed before entering into bends.
–
Handling of the ATV is strongly influenced by shifts in the position of your body weight.
Always shift your body weight toward the inside of the bend and forward.
–
The faster you ride and the tighter the bend, the more you need to shift your body
weight.
–
Always exert pressure on the footrest on the inside of the bend.
–
Look in the direction of the bend while you are riding.
–
The farther back you are sitting, the more the vehicle has the tendency to move straight
ahead. The farther forward you shift your weight, the more pressure is applied to the
front axle and the more easily the vehicle can take the bend.
