ATV Operation 1. With the transmission in neutral, move the ATV forward and back- ward to check that the wheels roll freely. If the ATV will not roll, the tires may be frozen to the ground or the brake pads may be frozen to the discs. NOTE: After riding through water, mud, snow, or slush, it is important to dry both brake systems before parking the ATV. ! WARNING 2. If the tires are frozen to the ground, pour warm water around them to melt the ice. Go slowly and be extra careful when riding on snow-covered or ice-cov- ered terrain. Always be alert to changing terrain conditions when operating the ATV.
CAUTION Before riding, manually move the ATV forward and backward to make certain that all wheels roll freely. 4. Practice driving in an open snow- covered or ice-covered area at slow speeds before driving on snow-cov- ered or ice-covered trails. 3. If the brakes are frozen, take the ATV to a warmer area to thaw out the brakes. 5. Learn how the ATV responds to steering and braking on the type of terrain to be encountered on the ride. Stopping The ATV To stop the ATV, first release the throttle lever. Next, apply the brake. Stopping The Engine To stop the engine, turn the ignition switch key to the OFF position. !
WARNING Do not attempt to free frozen brakes by pouring warm water on the brake pads and housings. Division II - Operation/ Maintenance NOTE: After the brakes thaw, dry them by applying them several times while riding slowly. 35 35 35 35
