RIDING OVER OBSTACLES
If you come to an obstacle that you
cannot avoid, you may be able to
cross over it using the following pro-
cedure.
1. With the obstacle straight in front
of you, approach at walking
speed.
2. Rise up slightly on the footrests.
3. Pull up on the handlebars and
apply a little throttle as the front
wheels reach the obstacle.
4. Lean forward and release the
throttle after the front wheels have
cleared the obstacle.
5. Return to your normal riding posi-
tion after the rear wheels clear the
obstacle.
Remember that some obstacles are
too high for your ATV or for your abili-
ties. If you are not sure that you can
safely cross over an obstacle, back up
and ride around the obstacle.
RIDING THROUGH WATER
You can ride the ATV through shallow
water. Make sure it is not more than
30 cm deep and is not moving fast.
Choose a good place to cross before
you ride through any water. Look for a
spot where the banks are gently
sloped on both sides and the bottom
of the stream is hard. If you are unfa-
miliar with the area, park the ATV and
inspect the stream first to find a suit-
able spot for crossing. When cross-
ing, operate the ATV at a slow, steady
speed. Be careful not to damage
banks when crossing.
WARNING
Improperly operating this ATV
over obstacles can be hazardous.
Improperly crossing obstacles can
cause loss of control or a colli-
sion. It can also cause the ATV to
overturn.
Follow the procedure in this sec-
tion carefully when crossing over
obstacles.
WARNING
Operating this ATV through deep
or fast flowing water can be haz-
ardous.
The ATV tires may float, causing
loss of traction and loss of con-
trol. This could lead to an acci-
dent.
• Never operate this ATV in fast
flowing water or in water deeper
than described in this section.
• Remember that wet brakes may
have reduced stopping ability.
Test your brakes after leaving
the water. If necessary, apply
them several times to let friction
dry out the linings.
