2007 YAMAHA RHINO 660 steering wheel

7-15
Position your hands on the steering wheel so that
your thumbs and fingers do not wrap around the
wheel. This is particularly important when driving
in rough terrain. The front wheels will move right
and left as they respond to the terrain, and this
movement will be felt in the steering wheel. A sud-
den jolt could wrench the steering wheel around,
and your thumbs or fingers could be injured if they
are in the way of the steering wheel spokes.
BRAKING
Braking ability is affected by the type of terrain. In
most cases, gradually application of the brakes is
more effective than abrupt braking, particularly on
loose surfaces like gravel. Always allow for greater
braking distance on rough, loose, or slippery sur-
faces.
