RIDING THE VEHICLE
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 affected. Remember that “gun-
ning” 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.
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. 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 momen-
tum and do not “gun” the throttle. Hold handlebar firmly. Place your 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
slippery surfaces or terrain variations and obstacles and use proper body position-
ing.
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 carring cargo,
the wheels should be blocked using rocks or bricks.

Before trying to climb a hill, keep these things in mind. Hill Climbing should only
be attempted by experienced operators. Start on shallow slopes. Always drive
straight uphill and keep your body weight forward towards the top of the hill.
Keep your feet on the footrests, shift your ATV into a lower gear and accelerate
before you start to climb. Try to keep a steady speed and go easy on the throttle
to avoid acceleration. Abrupt slope or terrain variation or rolling one wheel over
