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.
