Sliding and skidding
●
Care should be used when riding on loose
or slippery surfaces because the ATV may
lose traction and slide.
●
If unexpected and uncorrected, sliding
could lead to an accident.
●
To reduce the tendency for the front wheels
to slide on loose or slippery conditions,
positioning your weight over the front
wheels will sometimes help.
●
If the rear wheels of your ATV start to slide
sideways, control can usually be regained
(if there is room to do so) by steering in the
direction of the slide. Applying the brakes
or accelerating is not recommended until
you have corrected the slide.
