IV RIDING THE VEHICLE
sfvmo2014-012-524
Wet brakes will affect the braking ability of your vehicle. Make sure you dry the
brakes by applying them several times after the vehicle leaves the water, mud or
snow. Allow greater distance for braking.
Mud or marsh lands may be encountered near water. Be prepared for sudden
“holes” or changes in depth. Similarly so, be watchful of hazards such as rocks,
logs, etc., partially covered by vegetation.
Riding on Ice
If your route crosses frozen waterways, make sure the ice is thick enough and
sound enough to support the total weight of yourself, your passenger (2-UP mod-
els), the vehicle and its load. Be ever watchful of open water it is a sure indication
that the ice thickness will vary.
On 2-UP models, the operator is responsible for the safety of the passenger; in
doubt, do not attempt to cross.
Ice will also affect the control of the vehicle. Slow down and operate the throttle
lever smoothly. This will only result in spinning of the tires and possible tip over of
the vehicle or passenger ejection (2-UP models. Avoid rapid braking. This again
will possibly result in an uncontrolled slide and tip over of the vehicle. Slush should
be avoided at all times since it could block the operation or controls of the vehicle.
Riding on Snow Covered Surfaces
When performing the pre-ride inspection, pay special attention to locations on the
vehicle where snow and/or ice accumulations may obstruct visibility of the taillight
and reflectors, clog ventilation openings, block the radiator and fan, and interfere
with the movement of control levers, switches and brake pedal. Before starting
with your ATV check the steering, throttle and brake lever and pedal controls for
interference free operation.
Whenever an ATV is ridden on a snow covered drive path the tire grip is generally
reduced causing the vehicle to react differently to control inputs from the oper-
ator. On low grip surfaces, the steering responses are not as crisp and precise,
stopping distances are lengthened and acceleration becomes sluggish. Slow
down and operate the throttle lever smoothly. This will only result in spinning of
the tires and possibly in an over steering slide of the vehicle. Avoid hard braking.
