Riding the Vehicle
! WARNING !
Riding over Rough Terrain
Riding over rough terrain should be done with caution. Look out for obstacles which could
cause damage to the vehicle or could lead to upset or accident. Be sure to keep both feet
inside the vehicle at all times. Avoid jumping the vehicle as loss of control and damage to
the vehicle may result.
Potential Hazard
Improperly operating over obstacles
What Can Happen
Could cause loss of control or a collision. Could cause the vehicle to overturn.
How to Avoid the Hazard
Before operating in a new area, check for obstacles.
Never attempt to ride over large obstacles, such as large rocks or fallen trees.
When you go over obstacles, always follow proper procedures as described in this guide.
! WARNING !
Sliding and Skidding
Care should be used when riding on loose or slippery surfaces since the vehicle may slide.
If unexpected and uncorrected, sliding could lead to an accident.
If the rear wheels of your vehicle start to slide sideways, control can usually be regained (if
there is room to do so on) by steering in the direction of the slide. Applying the brakes or
accelerating is not recommended until you have corrected the slide.
With practice, over a period of time, skill at controlled sliding can be developed. The terrain
should be chosen carefully before attempting such maneuvers, since both stability and
control are reduced. Bear in mind that sliding maneuvers should always be avoided on
extremely slippery surfaces such as ice, since all control may be lost.
