Reversing

 

‧

Skidding or Sliding

 

‧

Parking on a Hill

 

‧

Stalling on a Hill

 

‧

Crossing Water

 

‧

Crossing Roads

Stopping the Engine

Reversing

It's tough to see things behind you.

Active Riding

Tips

Parking on a Hill

This shouldn't be necessary, but if it is:

   1.Keep it in gear.

   2.Engage the brake lever lock.

   3.Find something to block the rear tires.

Stalling on a Hill

Riding  through  water  deeper  than
the  footrests  may  lead  to  severe
engine damage due to water inges-
tion.

WARNING

Indicates a potential hazard that could
result in a serious injury or death.

CAUTION

  1.Slow down.

  2.Move forward on the seat.

  3.Lean to inside of turn.

  4.Turn handlebar.

Sometimes  your  ATV  may  not  respond

and goes straight ahead instead of letting

you turn. Here's how to handle it:

3.Shift your weight forward.

If you lose control after hitting sand, ice,

mud, or water:

Skidding or Sliding

  3.Backing down hills is a bad idea; do a 

     U-turn or K-turn instead to turn around.

  2.Keep your handlebar straight.

  1.Go slowly. It's hard to see behind you.

  1.Turn your handlebar into the direction

     of the slide.

  2.Keep your hand off the brakes until

     you're out of the skid.

If you use the right method for riding uphill,

this shouldn't happen. But if you have a pr-

oblem, do this:

   1.If the ATV hasn't started rolling backw-

        ards  yet,  follow  the  procedure  for  the

      K-Turn, 

OR

   2.If the ATV is already rolling backward,

      lean as far forward as possible standi-

      ng up on the footrests.

   3.Nice and easy, apply the hand brake

      lever.

   4.When you come to a stop, follow the

      procedure for the K-turn.

5.If  the  ATV  continues  to  roll  backward,

  dismount immediately on the uphill side.

Crossing Water

Your ATV can only handle water up to its

footrests. Any more than that and you risk

engine  damage  and/or  personal  injury.

Stay  away  from  fast  moving  rivers.  ATV

tires can be buoyant, so if the water is too

deep,  you  might  find  the  ATV  suddenly

afloat.
