POTENTIAL HAZARD
Skidding or sliding improperly.
WHAT CAN HAPPEN
You may lose control of this ATV.
You may also regain traction unexpectedly, which may cause the
ATV to overturn.
HOW TO AVOID THE HAZARD
Learn to safely control skidding by practicing at low speeds and
on level, smooth terrain.
On extremely slippery surfaces, such as ice, go slowly and be very
cautious in order to reduce the chance of skidding or sliding out of
control.
The terrain surface can be a major factor affecting turns. Skidding
during a turn is more likely to occur on slippery surfaces, such as snow,
ice, mud and loose gravel. If you skid on ice, you may lose all
directional control. To avoid skidding on slippery terrain, keep your
speed low and ride with caution.
If your FOURTRAX skids sideways during a turn, steer in the direction
of the skid. Avoid hard braking or accelerating until you have regained
directional control.
