Taking care of the Unexpected
IF YOU CRASH
Personal safety is your first priority after a crash. If you or anyone else has
been injured, take time to assess the severity of the injuries and whether it
is safe to continue riding. If you cannot ride safely, send someone for help.
Do not ride if you will risk further injury.
If you decide that you are capable of riding safely, first evaluate the condi-
tion of your ATV. If the engine is still running, turn it off and look it over
carefully; inspect it for fluid leaks, check the tightness of critical nuts and
bolts, and secure such parts as the handlebar, control levers, brakes, and
wheels.
If there is minor damage, or you are unsure about possible damage but
decide to try riding the ATV back to your base, ride slowly Personal safety
is your first priority after a and cautiously.
Sometimes, crash damage is hidden or not immediately apparent. When
you get home, thoroughly check your ATV and correct any problems you
find. Also, be sure to have your
Certified Motorcycle Mechanic
check the
frame and suspension after any serious crash.
IF A COMPONENT FAILS
The drive chain, master link, brake lever or pedal, control cables, and
other components can be damaged as you ride in dense brush or over
rocky terrain. Making a trailside repair depends on how serious the
damage is and what tools and supplies you have with you.
• If the drive chain comes off because the master link clip gets knocked
off, you may be able to put the chain back on with a new master link.
However, if the chain brakes or does other damage when it comes off,
you may not be able to make a trailside repair.
• If any component of the front brake system is damaged, you may be
able to ride carefully back to your base using the rear brake for slowing
or stopping.
• If you damage a throttle cable or other critical component, your ATV
may be unsafe to ride. Carefully assess the damage and make any re-
pairs that you can. But if there is any doubt, it’s best to be conservative
and safe.
