SLIDING AND SKIDDING

Care should be used when riding on loose or slip-
pery surfaces since the ATV may slide. If unex-
pected and uncorrected, sliding could lead to an
accident.
To reduce the tendency for the front wheels to slide
in loose or slippery conditions, positioning your
weight over the front wheels will sometimes help.

WHAT CAN HAPPEN
Could cause loss of control or a collision.
Could cause the ATV to overturn.
HOW TO AVOID THE HAZARD
Before operating in a new area, check for ob-
stacles.
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 the Owner’s
Manual.
