After the engine has warmed up, check
the brakes. Do this inspection on level
ground and do not exceed walking speed.
Be sure to check the operation of both front
and rear brakes. If the brakes do not work
adequately, stop riding the ATV. Bring the
ATV to a warmer area to allow the brakes
to thaw out. After the brakes thaw, dry them
by applying them several times while riding
slowly. If the brakes do not regain full
stopping power, have your local
Hyosung
dealer check them before you continue
riding your ATV.
Operating the ATV without a properly
functioning brake system can be
hazardous.
Wet or frozen brakes will increase
stopping distance. This will increase
your chance of having an accident.
Be sure to inspect the brakes before
each use of the ATV in cold weather
as described above.
WARNING
Any water that enters the brakes while
you ride may freeze after you park your
ATV. The frozen water can prevent the
wheels from turning or the brakes from
working. After riding through water, mud,
snow, or slush it is important to dry the
brakes before parking the ATV. To dry the
brakes, apply them several times while
riding slowly. Before your next ride, be sure
to do a Pre-ride inspection as described
earlier in this section.
Operating your ATV in cold weather
without proper clothing can be
hazardous.
Continued
exposure
to
cold
temperatures can lead to hypothermia.
Hypothermia is a condition where
your body’s inner temperature drops
low enough to cause injury or death.
Always dress for the worst weather
conditions you might encounter. Be
prepared for bad weather and ATV
breakdowns.
WARNING
Riding in cold weather can be hazardous.
At a temperature of
─
12
�
C (10
�
F), the wind
chill created by going just 15 km/h (9 mph)
makes you as cold as if you were standing
still at a temperature of
─
23
�
C (
─
9
�
F). At
this temperature, exposed flesh will freeze
in just a few minutes.
Continued exposure to cold temperatures
can also lead to hypothermia. Hypothermia
occurs when your body’s inner temperature
drops. Symptoms include numbness in the
extremities (hands, feet, arms, and legs),
and shivering. Damp clothing contributes to
hypothermia because cold water on your
skin will drain heat from your body’s core.
We strongly recommend that if you do
any cold-weather riding, you familiarize
yourself with the symptoms, treatment, and
prevention of hypothermia. Information is
available at libraries and through
government agencies.
