SLIDING AND SKIDDING
Care should be used when riding on loose or
slippery surfaces since the ATV may slide. If
unexpected and uncorrected, sliding could
lead to an accident.
To reduce the tendency for the front wheels to
slide in loose or slippery conditions, position-
ing 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 direc-
tion of the slide. Applying the brakes or accel-
erating is not recommended until you have
corrected the slide.
