RIDING THE VEHICLE
Ice will also affect the control of the vehicle. Slow down and do not “gun“ the
throttle. This will only result in spinning of the tires and the vehicle may possibly
tip over. Avoid rapid braking. This again can result in an uncontrolled slide and the
vehicle may possibly tip over. Slush should be avoided at all times since it could
block the operation or controls of the vehicle.
Riding in snow may reduce the brakes stopping capability. Safely reduce speed
and allow greater distance for braking. Snow projection may cause ice build up or
snow accumulation on brake components and controls. Apply brakes frequently
to prevent ice or snow accumulation. Refer to General Operating and Safety
Precautions in this subsection for more detailed information regarding riding on
snow Covered surfaces.
Riding on sand, sand dunes, or on snow is another unique experience, but there
are some basic precautions that should be observed. Wet, deep or fine sand/snow
may create a loss of traction and cause the vehicle to slide, drop off, or become
“bogged“ down. If this occurs, look for a firmer base. Again, the best advice is to
slow down and be watchful of the conditions.
When riding in sand dunes it is advisable to equip the vehicle with an antenna type
safety flag. This will help make your location more visible to others over the next
sand dune. Proceed carefully should you see another safety flag ahead. Since the
antenna type safety flag can snag and rebound on your body if caught, do not use it
in areas where there are low hanging branches or obstacles.
Riding on loose stones or gravel is very similar to riding on ice. They will affect
the steering of vehicle... possibly causing it to slide and tip over especially at
high speeds. In addition, braking distance may be a affected. Remember that
“gunning“ the throttle or sliding may cause loose stones to be ejected rearwards
into the path of another rider. Never do it deliberately.

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.
