To reduce the possibility for the front wheels
to slide in loose or slippery conditions, put-
ting 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 place to do so) by steering in the di-
rection of the slide. Applying the brakes or
accelerating is not recommended until you
have corrected the slide.
With practice, over a period of time, skill at
controlled sliding can be improved. The ter-
rain should be chosen carefully before at-
tempting such maneuvers, since both stabil-
ity and control are reduced. Bear in mind that
sliding maneuvers should always be avoided
on extremely slippery surfaces such as ice,
since all control may be lost.

What to do … ?
● If your ATV doesn’t turn when you want it
to: Bring the ATV to a stop and practice the
turning maneuvers again. Be sure you are
positioning your weight on the footboard to
the outside of the turn. Put your weight over
the front wheels for better control. (See page
39.)
● If your ATV begins to tip while turning: Lean
more into the turn to regain balance. If
necessary, gradually release the throttle and/
or steer to the outside of the turn. (See
page39.)
● If your ATV can’t make it up a hill you are
trying to climb: Turn the ATV around if you
still have forward. If not, stop, dismount on
