Always be careful when skidding or sliding.
Learn to safely control skidding or sliding
by practicing at low speeds and on level,
smooth terrain. On extremely slippery sur-
faces, 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 that recommended
in this manual. Remember that wet brakes
may have reduced stopping ability. Test
your brakes after leaving water. If neces-
sary, apply them several times to let friction
dry out the linings.


Always be sure there are no obstacles or
people behind you when you operate in re-
verse. When it is safe to proceed in reverse,
go slowly.


Always use the size and type tires specified
in this manual.


Always maintain proper tire pressure as de-
scribed in this manual.
