2. Keep your speed slow.
3. Make sure you have a way out on
the other side of the water.
4. If you get stuck in the sludge or
mud, try rocking the ATV from
side to side.
5. Once you’ve cleared the water,
briefly apply the brakes to make
sure they work.
Crossing Roads
Crossing roads on your ATV is also a
bad idea, so avoid it. If you can’t:
1. Stop completely on the shoulder of
the road.
2. Check both directions for traffic.
3. Crossing near a blind corner or
intersection is dangerous; don’t do
it.
4. Drive straight across to the oppo-
site shoulder.
5. Take into account that your ATV
could stall while crossing; give
yourself enough time to get off the
road.
6. You have to assume that oncoming
cars don’t see you, and if they do,
they won’t be able to predict your
actions.
7. It’s illegal to cross public roads in
some places. Know your local
laws.
Driving In Cold
Weather
NOTE: Check that all control
levers move freely. Make sure that
the footrest, shift lever, and auxi-
lary 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 sys-
tems before parking the ATV.
! WARNING
For your personal safety, it is very
important to wear the type and
amount of cold-weather clothing
according to the coldest antici-
pated temperatures.
CAUTION
Before riding, manually move the
ATV forward and backward to make
certain that all wheels roll freely.
! WARNING
Do not attempt to free frozen
brakes by pouring warm water on
the brake pads and housings.
! WARNING
Go slowly and be extra careful
when riding on snow-covered or
ice-covered terrain. Always be alert
to changing terrain conditions
when operating the ATV.
