OPERATION OF YOUR ATV
87
Practice
The driving procedures described in this manual should be practiced at slow speed many times in a large
area with no obstacles. If an incorrect technique is used, your vehicle may continue to go straight. If the
vehicle does not turn, stop and practice the procedure again. If the riding surface is slippery or loose, it
may help to transfer more of your weight to the front wheels by moving forward on the seat. Once you
have learned the proper techniques, you should be able to perform maneuvers at higher speeds or in
tighter curves.
Improper driving procedures such as abrupt throttle changes, excessive braking, incorrect body
movements, or too much speed for the sharpness of the turn may cause the Vehicle to tip. If the Vehicle
begins to tip over to the outside while negotiating a turn, lean more to the inside. It may also be necessary
to gradually let off on the throttle and steer to the outside of the turn to avoid tipping over.
Remember: Avoid higher speeds until you are thoroughly familiar with the operation of your Vehicle.
NOTE
Low gear is the preferred transmission gear selection for all forward motion other than prolonged high
speed travel. Do not use high gear for continuous slow speed travel or towing, as this can lead to
excessive heating of the clutch system, which may damage components.
