WHAT TO DO IF
WHAT TO DO....
This section is designed to be a reference guide
only. Be sure to read each section on riding
techniques completely.
If your ATV doesn't turn when you want it to:
Bring the ATV to a stop and practice the turning
maneuvers again. Be sure you are putting your
weight on the footpeg to the outside of the turn.
Position your weight over the front wheels for
better control. (See pages 78~79.)
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. (See pages
78~79.)
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.
(See pages 80~81.)
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 uphill side.
(See pages 82~86.)
