Driving In Cold Weather
„ NOTE: Check that all control
levers move freely. Make sure that
the footrest, shift lever, and
mechanical brake pedal are free of
ice and snow.
1. With the transmission in neutral,
move the ATV forward and back-
ward to check that the wheels roll
freely. If the ATV will not roll, the
tires may be frozen to the ground or
the brake pads may be frozen to the
discs.
2. If the tires are frozen to the ground,
pour warm water around them to
melt the ice.
3. If the brakes are frozen, take the
ATV to a warmer area to thaw out
the brakes.
„ NOTE: After the brakes thaw, dry
them by applying them several
times while riding slowly.
„ NOTE: After riding through water,
mud, snow, or slush, it is important
to dry both brake systems before
parking the ATV.
4. Practice driving in an open snow-
covered or ice-covered area at slow
speeds before driving on snow-cov-
ered or ice-covered roads.
5. Learn how the ATV responds to
steering and braking on the type of
terrain to be encountered on the ride.
Stopping The ATV

lever. Next, apply the brake.
Stopping The Engine
To stop the engine, turn the ignition
switch to the OFF position.
