5. Safe Operation on Land
Make sure all operators follow the rules for safe operation on land in this section. Failure to do
so can increase the risk of collisions overturning, impact injuries, injuries from moving parts
and other accidents that can cause severe injury or death.
Learn about off-road safety and laws and regulations.
It is highly recommended that you complete an ATV rider safety course. Ensure that you are
familiar with local and federal laws and regulations concerning the riding areas that you will use.
Be qualified
Be sure all operators are qualified to operate this Crosski on land.
Plan your ride
Before you go, plan ahead for where you will be riding, what to wear and what to bring.
Prepared trails
On land, the Crosski should be operated on prepared trails only. Avoid extreme conditions
such as deep mud or rugged terrain.
Your Crosski is rear wheel drive only and will not have the same level of traction as a four,
wheel drive ATV.
Note: When riding off-road, obey local off-road riding laws and regulations.
Riding on unfamiliar terrain
Use caution and reduce your speed when riding on unfamiliar terrain. Driving too fast for
the terrain could result in you losing control of the Crosski, overturning r damage to the hull.
Always be alert to changing terrain conditions and stay focused upon the terrain ahead as
you could come across hidden rocks, holes or other obstacles without enough time to react.
Slippery or loose surfaces
Terrain surface and speed are the major factors determining how the Crosski will react in a
turn. Riding on loose, slippery or rough terrain (e.g. snow, ice, mud or gravel) makes it more likely
for the Crosski to lose traction and skid or slide. This can result in a collision, or if you
unexpectedly regain traction, could result in the Crosski overturning. Stopping distances can also
be longer.
To reduce your risk:
Avoid these slippery surfaces if possible
Practice maneuvering in slippery terrain in a controlled situation before going for a ride
where you might encounter such terrain.
Use caution and go slowly on slippery surfaces
