●
Never attempt to operate over large obstacles, such as large rocks or fallen trees. Always
follow proper procedures when operating over obstacles as described in this manual.
●
Always use proper procedures if you stall or roll backwards when climbing a hill. To avoid
stalling, use proper gear and maintain a steady speed when climbing a hill. If you stall or roll
backwards, follow the special procedure for braking described in this manual. Dismount on
the uphill side or to a side if pointed straight uphill. Turn the ATV around and remount,
follow the procedure described in this manual.
●
Always be careful when skidding or sliding. Learn to safety control skidding or sliding by
practicing at low speeds and on level, smooth terrain. On extremely slippery surface, such
as ice, go slowly and be very cautious in order to reduce the chance of skidding or sliding
out of control.
●
Never operate an ATV in fast flowing water or in water deeper than the recommended in this
manual. Remember that wet brakes may have reduced stopping ability. Test your brakes
after leaving water. If necessary, apply them several times to let friction dry out the linings.
●
Always follow proper procedures for going down hills and for braking on hills as described
in this manual. Check the terrain carefully before you start down any hill. Shift your weight
backward. Never go down a hill at high speed. Avoid going down a hill at an angle that will
cause the ATV to lean sharply to one side. Go straight down the hill where possible.
