RIDING THE VEHICLE
Braking
Always keep both hands on handlebars and feet on footpegs when braking.
Practice braking to get familiar with the brake response.
– Do it at low speed first, then increase the speed.
– Practice braking in straight line at different speeds and different braking force.
– Practice emergency braking; optimal braking is obtained in straight line, with
high force applied, without locking the wheels.
Remember, braking distance depends on vehicle speed, load and the type of sur-
face. Also, the tires and brakes conditions play a major role.
If going forward the vehicle weight is transferred to the front wheels when brak-
ing. To obtain greater stopping efficiency, the brake system distributes more brak-
ing force to the front wheels. This will affect vehicle handling and steering control
when braking vigorously. Take it into account when braking.
NOTE:
There are brakes on the front wheels and rear wheels and these are
controlled by the brake lever on the handlebar and the pedal on the right driver's
foot area.
The operation of the handlebar brake lever will operate the front and rear brakes in
both 4x6 and 6X6 modes.
The operation of the foot pedal will operate the rear brakes only in 4X6. While in
6X6 mode, the operation of the foot pedal will operate both front and rear brakes.
Reverse Operation
When operating in reverse, check that the path behind the vehicle is free of people
or obstacles. Proceed slowly and avoid sharp turns.
We recommend sitting on your ATV when operating in reverse. Avoid standing
up. Your weight could shift forward against throttle lever, causing an unexpected
acceleration.
Obstacles
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. 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 mo-
mentum and do not “gun” the throttle. Hold handlebar firmly. Place 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.
