CAUTION Before riding, manually move the ATV forward and backward to make certain that all wheels roll freely. ACTIVE RIDING 3. If the brakes are frozen, take the ATV to a warmer area to thaw out the brakes. n Note: After the brakes thaw, dry them by applying them several times while riding slowly. !
