SKIDDING OR SLIDING

You may experience skidding or slid-
ing when you are not braking. You
may be able to overcome it by using
the techniques listed below.

If your front wheel skids:
Gain front wheel traction by reducing
the throttle opening and leaning your
body weight slightly forward.

If your rear wheel skids:
If space permits, steer in the direction
of the skid. Shift your body weight
away from the skid slightly. Avoid
using the throttle or brakes until you
regain directional control of the vehi-
cle.

OPERATION ON HILLS



WARNING

Skidding or sliding improperly can
be hazardous.

You may lose control of your ATV,
or regain traction unexpectedly,
which may cause the ATV to over-
turn.

• Learn to safely control skidding

or sliding by practicing at low
speeds and on level, smooth
terrain.

• On extremely slippery surfaces,

such as ice, go slowly and be
very cautious in order to reduce
the chance of skidding or slid-
ing out of control.



WARNING

Operating this ATV on excessively
steep hills can be hazardous.

The ATV can overturn more easily
on extremely steep hills than on
level surfaces or small hills.

Never operate the ATV on hills too
steep for the ATV or for your abili-
ties. Practice on smaller hills
before trying larger hills.
