RIDING THE VEHICLE
vmo2012-012-525
If you do get into a slide or skid, it may help to turn the handlebar in the direction of
the skid until you regain control. Never jam the brakes and lock the wheels.
Respect and follow all posted trail signs. They are there to help you and others.
Obstacles in the “trail” should be traversed with caution. This includes loose
rocks, fallen trees, slippery surfaces, fences, posts, and embankments and
depressions. You should avoid them whenever possible. Remember that some
obstacles are too large or dangerous to cross and should be avoided. When riding
on 2-UP models, the operator is responsible for the safety of the passenger and in
doubt, disembark him before getting through the obstacles. Small rocks or fallen
trees may be safely crossed, approach at a 90° angle. Stand on the footrests
while keeping your knees flexed. Adjust speed without losing momentum and do
not “gun” the throttle. Hold handlebar or grab handles firmly. Place operator and
passenger (2-UP models) body weight rearwards and proceed. Do not try to lift
the vehicle front wheels off the ground. Be aware that the object may be slippery
or may move while crossing.
When driving on hills or slopes two things are highly important, be prepared for slip-
pery surfaces or terrain variations and obstacles and, use proper body positioning.
When riding on 2-UP models, the operator is responsible for the safety of the pas-
senger and in doubt, disembark him before getting through the obstacles.
When stopped or parked always apply the parking device. This is especially impor-
tant when parking on a slope. On very steep inclines or if the ATV is carrying cargo,
the wheels should be blocked using rocks or bricks.
