SKIDDING OR SLIDING
You may experience skidding or sliding when you are not braking. You may
be able to overcome it by using the techniques listed below.
If your front wheel skids:
Gain front wheel traction by reducing the throttle opening and leaning your
body slightly forward.
If your rear wheel skids:
If space permits, steer in the direction of the skid. Shift your body away from
the skid slightly. Avoid using the throttle or brakes until you regain directional
control of the vehicle.
WARNING
Skidding or sliding improperly could be hazardous.
You may lose control of your ATV when you regain traction unexpectedly.
This may cause the ATV to overturn.
Learn to safely control skidding or sliding by practicing at low speeds and
on level, smooth terrain.
On extremely slippery surfaces, such as ice, go slow and be very cautious
in order to reduce the chance of skidding or sliding.
WARNING
Operating this ATV on excessively steep hills could be hazardous.
The ATV could overturn more easily on extremely steep hills than on level
surfaces or small hills.
Never operate the ATV on hills which are too steep for the ATV or for your
abilities. Practice on smaller hills before trying larger hills.
