loose gravel, or during cold freezing weather, special atten-
tion must be paid to prevent vehicle turnover. Always:
1. Slow down when entering slippery areas.
2. Maintain a high level of alertness, reading the trail and avoiding
quick, sharp turns which can cause skids.
3. Correct a skid by turning the handlebars in the direction of the skid
and shifting your body weight forward.
4. Driving
with All Wheel Drive (All Wheel Drive) engaged can assist in
controlling the vehicle in slippery areas.

result.
6. Do not operate on excessively slippery surfaces if possible to avoid.
7. Always reduce speed and use additional caution.
Severe damage to drive train may occur if the Demand Drive is
engaged while the wheels are spinning.

surfaces can be dangerous.
