!! CAUTION !! Before riding, manually move the ATV forward and backward to make certain that all wheels roll freely. !! WARNING !! Go slowly and be extra careful, when riding on snow-covered or ice-covered terrain. Always be alert to changing terrain conditions when operating the ATV! 1. If the brakes are frozen, take the ATV to a warmer area to thaw out the brakes. 2. Practice driving in an open snow-covered or ice-covered area before driving on ice-covered trails. 3. Learn how the ATV responds to steering and braking on an ice-co- vered terrain. !! WARNING !! Never attempt to free frozen brakes by pouring warm water on the bra- ke pads and housings!
q NOTE After the brakes thaw, dry them by applying them several times while riding slowly. q NOTE After riding through water, mud and snow, it is important to dry both brake systems before parking the ATV. Page 65
