Active Riding
Parking
Parking involves following the previ-
ous rules for braking; then:
1. After the ATV stops, shift into neutral.
2. Stop the engine using the ignition
switch.
3. If you have to park on a hill, shift
the ATV into low gear; otherwise,
try to park only on level surfaces.
4. Engage the parking brake.
Dismounting the ATV
After you’ve followed the procedure for
parking, it’s time to dismount:
1. The operator should double check
that the brake lever lock is engaged.
2. The passenger should grasp the left
shoulder of the operator with the
right hand and with the left hand
grasp the left-side handhold; then
swing the right leg over the seat and
step to the ground on the left side of
the ATV.
3. The operator should swing the right
leg over to the left side of the seat.
4. The operator should step to the
ground on the left side of the ATV.
Active riding involves moving your body.
You must learn to lean and shift your
weight into your turns to maintain control.
Your safety depends on using safe riding
techniques. Statistics show that inexpe-
rienced riders who don’t use safe riding
techniques are
13 times more likely
to have an ATV accident
than riders
who have over 1 month of experience.
Safe riding techniques include:
• Starting
• Leaning, Weight Shift, and Balance
• Wide Turns
• Sharp Turns
• Quick Turns
• K-Turns
• Riding Uphill
• Riding Downhill
• Sidehilling/Traversing
• Swerving
Starting
Once the engine has warmed up, the
ATV is ready to go.

! WARNING
Excessive repetitive use of the
hydraulic brake for high speed
stops will cause overheating of the
brake fluid and premature brake
pad wear which will result in an
unexpected loss of brakes.
! WARNING
Use only Arctic Cat approved brake
fluid. Never substitute or mix differ-
ent types or grades of brake fluid.
Brake loss can result. Check brake
fluid level and pad wear before each
use. Brake loss can result in severe
injury or even death.
