ATV Operation
Dismounting the ATV
After you’ve followed the procedure for parking, it’s time to dis-
mount.
1. Double check that the brake lever lock is engaged.
2. Swing your right leg over to the left side of the seat.
3. 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
from the U.S. Consumer Product Safety Commission (CPSC) say
that inexperienced 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:
Riding
Once the engine’s warm, the ATV is ready
to go.
1. Keep your feet on the footrests and
both hands on the handlebar.
2. Hold the brake levers, and release the
brake lever lock.
3. Release the brakes slowly and apply
the throttle.
Skidding or Sliding
If you lose control after hitting sand, ice, mud, or water:
1. Turn your handlebar into the direction of the slide.
2. Keep your hand off the brakes until you’re out of the skid.
3. Shift your weight forward.
Sometimes your ATV may not respond and goes straight ahead
instead of letting you turn. Here’s how to handle it:
1. Slow down.
2. Move forward on the seat.
3. Lean to inside of turn.
4. Turn handlebar.
