Practice riding your ATV in an open
snow- or ice-covered area, at slow
speeds, before heading out on snow-
or ice-covered trails. Learn how your
ATV responds to steering and braking
on the type of terrain you will encoun-
ter on your ride.
Your eyes may be sensitive to sunlight
when you ride over snow or ice on a
bright, sunny day. Snow or ice reflects
more light into your eyes than dirt or
grass does. Tinted eye protection will
reduce the amount of light reaching
your eyes. Always use clear eye pro-
tection when riding at night. On over-
cast days, you may find it helpful to
use yellow-tinted eye protection.
WARNING
Failure to use extra care when
operating on slippery surfaces
such as hard-packed snow and ice
can be hazardous.
Failure to use extra care can
cause loss of traction or loss of
vehicle control. This could result
in an accident, including an over-
turn.
Do not operate on slippery sur-
faces until you have learned and
practiced the skills necessary to
control the ATV on such terrain.
Always use extra care on slippery
surfaces. Avoid snow- or ice-cov-
ered hills whenever possible.
WARNING
Indicates a potential hazard that
could result in injury or death.
