Active Riding
Overview
“Active Riding” is the second part of
“P.A.S.S.” It involves an understanding
of how your body weight, balance, grav-
ity, and physical forces affect the han-
dling of the ATV. For example, when
you drive a car quickly into a sharp turn,
your body is pulled to the outside of the
vehicle by centrifugal force. Although a
car is relatively stable, enough centrifu-
gal force can cause an ATV to overturn.
Constantly shifting your weight is one
major difference between driving a car
and riding an ATV. Knowing how to
shift your weight is necessary to avoid
rolling or flipping the ATV.
Active riding and basic maneuvers are
the foundation of your ATV ride. With-
out basic skills, it’s impossible to move
to this level— active riding. These are
your basic maneuvers:
• Mounting the ATV (Operator)
• Mounting the TRV (Passenger)
• Starting the Engine
• Starting a Cold Engine
• Shifting
• Braking/Stopping
• Parking
• Dismounting the ATV
Mounting the ATV
(Operator)
1. From the left side, grab the left-side
handlebar, apply the brake, and put
your left foot on the footrest.
2. Grab the right-side handlebar.
3. Swing your leg over the seat and set
your right foot down on the right-
side footrest.
4. Get seated in a comfortable posi-
tion.
5. Always keep your feet planted on
the footrests.
Mounting the TRV
(Passenger)
1. After the operator is seated and has
the brake firmly applied, with your
left hand, grasp the left shoulder of
the operator, and with your right
hand grasp the backrest; then swing
your leg over the seat and set your
right foot down on the right-side
footrest.
2. Get seated in a comfortable posi-
tion and keep hands firmly on the
handholds.
3. Always keep your feet planted on
the footrests.
Starting the Engine
Always start with the ATV on a flat,
level surface. Carbon monoxide poison-
ing can kill you, so keep your ATV out-
side while it’s running. Follow these
steps to start it up:
1. Climb up onto the ATV and sit
down.
2. Engage the parking brake.
3. Shift into neutral.
4. Turn on the ignition.
5. Press the starter button.
6. Let the engine warm up.
Another way to remember the starting procedure is by using the acronym “BONE-
C.” It stands for:
