SKIDDING OR SLIDING
Slow down and use caution when riding over loose,
slippery, or unstable surfaces such as snow, ice, or mud.
Slides are more likely on slippery or loose surfaces
when turning. If you skid or slide you may lose all steering
control of the ATV and an accident will result.
If you skid sideways when turning on a loose or slippery
surface, steer in the direction of the skid.
WARNING
POTENTIAL HAZARD

WHAT CAN HAPPEN

HOW TO AVOID THE HAZARD

slow 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.
