Whenever riding on slippery surfaces such as wet trails or loose gravel, or
during freezing weather, follow these precautions:
1. Do not operate on excessively rough, slippery or loose terrain.
2. Slow down when entering slippery areas.
3. Engage 4X4 before wheels begin to lose traction.
Severe damage to drive train may occur if the 4X4 is engaged while the wheels
are spinning. Allow the rear wheels to stop spinning before engaging 4X4, or
4. Maintain a high level of alertness, reading the trail and avoiding quick, sharp
turns, which can cause skids.
5. Never apply the brakes during a skid. Correct a skid by turning the
handlebars in the direction of the skid and shifting your body weight forward.
