RIDING OVER OBSTACLES
If you come to an obstacle that
you cannot avoid, you may be
able to cross over it using the fol-
lowing procedure.
1. With the obstacle straight in
front of you, approach at walk-
ing speed.
2. Rise up slightly on the foot-
rests.
3. Pull up on the handlebars and
apply a little throttle as the
front wheels reach the obsta-
cle.
4. Lean forward and release the
throttle after the front wheels
have cleared the obstacle.
5. Return to your normal riding
position after the rear wheels
clear the obstacle.
Remember that some obstacles
are too high for your ATV or for
your abilities. If you are not sure
that you can safely cross over an
obstacle, back up and ride around
the obstacle.
