AN ATV CAN BE HAZARDOUS TO OPERATE. An ATV handles differently

·Always follow proper procedures for going downhill 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

·Always be careful of skidding or sliding. On slippery surfaces, such as ice, go
slowly and be very cautious in order to reduce the chance of skidding or sliding out of

exceeds the recommended maximum depth, go slowly, balance your weight carefully
avoiding sudden movements, and maintain a slow and steady forward motion. Do not
make sudden turns or stops, and do not make sudden throttle changes.
·Wet brakes may have reduced stopping ability. Test your brakes after leaving water.

If necessary, apply them lightly several times to let friction dry out the pads.
·Always be sure there are no obstacles or people behind you when you operate in

angles in reverse.
·Always use the size and type of tires specified in this manual. Always maintain
proper tire pressure as described in this manual.
