Skidding and Sliding
To avoid skidding and sliding, reduce the Crosski’s speed before commencing the turn. If the
Crosski starts to slide sideways in a turn, turn the handlebars in the direction of the slide. Avoid
heavy braking or application of the throttle, until you have regained steering control.
Public roads
Never ride on a public street, road or highway (except for traversing as permitted by law).
This includes unpaved dirt or gravel roads.
Operating the Crosski on public streets, roads or highways could result in a collision with
another vehicle. Drivers of other vehicles may have difficulty seeing or avoiding you
In many state it is unlawful to operate ATVs on public streets, roads and highways.
Paved surfaces
Avoid riding on paved surfaces, including sidewalks, driveways, parking lots and streets.
Your Crosski and the tires installed on it are designed and manufacture for off-road use only.
Riding on paved surfaces will affect the handling and control of the Crosski.
If it is necessary to ride on or across a paved surface, proceed slowly and with caution.
Sand dunes and hilly terrains
When riding on terrains where you might not be easily visible to others, consider installing a
flag (available from a Hison dealer) to alert other off road users to your presence.
Always be observant for other off-road vehicles.
Note: You may be required to install a flag in certain riding areas. Check with local authorities.
Crossing shallow water
Your Crosski can cross shallow water in Land mode. When crossing shallow water, keep in
mind that the jet intake is operating whenever throttle is applied and can draw in debris, weeds,
etc.
Before entering the water, choose a crossing point which has a gentle incline into and out of
the water. Avoid areas which have fast moving water or a sharp drop off. Avoid rocks or other
obstacles.
Note: Be aware that the Crosski will float if the water is deep enough and maybe carried in the
direction of the current.
After the Crosski has been ridden through water, apply the brakes lightly several times while
moving to dry them. Wet brakes will reduce the stopping ability of the Crosski.
Speed
Never operate the Crosski at speeds too fasts for your skills or the conditions. Always ride at
a speed that is appropriate for the terrain, visibility, operating condtions and your experience to
avoid losing control.
