General Guidelines
Taking Care of the Unexpected
Taking Care of the Unexpected
Keeping your ATV well-maintained is the best way to reduce the
possibility of having a problem while riding. However, problems can
arise even with well-maintained machines.
Remember to take along your owner’s manual, the tool kit that came
with your ATV, and any other items (such as tire repair supplies and
additional tools) that might help you solve a problem on your own.
If something goes wrong during a ride, the first thing to do is stop as
soon as you safely can. Do not continue riding if you have a flat tire, or
you hear an unusual noise, or your ATV just doesn’t feel right. If you
continue riding, you could cause more damage and endanger your own
safety.
After a stop, take time to assess the situation. Carefully inspect your
ATV to identify the problem, then consider your options before you
decide what to do.
If a problem is relatively minor and you have the tools, supplies, and
skills to make a permanent repair, you may be able to fix it on the trail
and continue riding. Or, you may be able to make a temporary repair
that allows you to slowly ride back to your base where you can make a
permanent repair or get help.
When a problem is more serious
or you don’t have the tools, supplies,
experience, or time to deal with it
you need to choose the safest way to
get yourself and your ATV back to base. For example, if you are close
enough, you (or you and another person) might be able to push it back.
