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 or sliding 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.

WHAT TO DO...
●If your ATV doesn’t turn when you want it to: Bring the ATV to a stop and practice the turning maneuvers again. Be sure you are putting your weight on the footboard to the outside of the turn. Position your weight over the front wheels for better control. (See page
●If your ATV begins to tip while turning:
Lean more into the turn to regain balance. If nec- essary, gradually let off the throttle and/or steer to the outside of the turn. (See page
●If your ATV starts to slide sideways:
Steer in the direction of the slide if you have the room. Applying the brakes or accelerating is not recommended until you have corrected the slide. (See page
●If your ATV can’t make it up a hill you are trying to climb:
Turn the ATV around if you still have forward speed. If not, stop, dismount on the uphill side of the ATV and physically turn the ATV around. If
the ATV starts to slip backwards, DO NOT USE 7 THE REAR BRAKE – the ATV may tip over on top of you. Dismount the ATV on the uphill side. (See page
●If your ATV is traversing a sloping surface:
Be sure to ride with your weight positioned to- wards the uphill side of the ATV to maintain proper balance. If the ATV starts to tip, steer down the hill (if there are no obstacles in your way) to regain balance. If you discover that the ATV is going to tip over, dismount on the uphill side. (See page
