RIDING OVER ROUGH TERRAIN
WARNING
Riding improperly over obstacles could cause loss
of control or a collision. Before operating in a new
area, check for obstacles. Never attempt to ride over
large obstacles, such as large rocks or fallen trees.
When you go over obstacles, always follow proper
procedures as described in the Owners Manual.
Riding over rough terrain should be done with caution.
Look out for obstacles which could cause damage to the
ATV or could lead to upset or accident. Be sure to keep
your feet firmly mounted on the footrests at all times.
Avoid jumping the ATV as loss of control and damage to the
ATV may result.
SLIDING AND SKIDDING
WARNING
Skidding or sliding improperly may cause you
to lose control of this ATV. You may also re-
gain traction unexpectedly, which may cause
the ATV to overturn.
Learn to safely control skidding or sliding by
practicing at low speeds and on levels,
smooth terrain.
On extremely slippery surfaces, such as ice,
go slowly and be very cautions in order to
reduce the chance of skidding or sliding out of control.
Care should be used when riding on loose or slippery
surfaces since the ATV may slide. If unexpected and
uncorrected, sliding could lead to an accident.
To reduce the tendency for the front wheels to slide in
loose or slippery conditions, positioning your weight
over the front wheels will sometimes help.
If the rear wheels of your ATV start to slide side-
ways, control can usually be regained (if there is
room to do so) by steering in the direction of the
slide. Applying the brakes of accelerating is not
recommended until you have corrected the slide.
