Your Vehicle 7-34
With practice, over a period of time, skill at
controlled sliding can be developed. The
terrain should be chosen carefully before
attempting such maneuvers, since both
stability and control are reduced. Bear in
mind that sliding maneuvers should always
be avoided on extremely slippery surfaces
such as ice, since all control may be lost.
WARNING
POTENTIAL HAZARD
Skidding or sliding improperly.
WHAT CAN HAPPEN
You may lose control of this ATV. You may
also regain traction unexpectedly, which may
cause the ATV to overturn.
HOW TO AVOID THE HAZARD
Learn to safely control skidding or slid-ing 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
sliding out of control.
CONCLUSION:
1. If your ATV doesn’t turn when you want it
to:
● Bring the ATV to a stop and practice the
turning maneuvers again. Be sure you are
putting your weight on the footboard to the
outside of the turn. Position your weight
over the front wheels for better control.
2．If your ATV begins to tip while turning:
● Lean more into the turn to regain balance.
● If necessary, gradually let off the throttle
