R
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 al-
ways be avoided on extremely slippery
surfaces such as ice, since all control may
be lost.
WARNING
POTENTIAL HAZARD
Skidding or sliding improperly.
WHAT CAN HAPPEN
You may lose control of this ATV. You
may also regain traction unexpectedly,
which may cause the ATV to overturn.
HOW TO AVOID THE HAZARD
Learn to safely control skidding or slid-
ing by practicing at low speeds and on
level, smooth terrain.
On extremely slippery surfaces, such as
ice, go slowly and be very cautious in or-
der to reduce the chance of skidding or
sliding out of control.
