8 Never attempt to operate over large obsta-
cles, such as large rocks or fallen trees.
Always follow proper procedures when oper-
ating over obstacles as described in this man-
ual.
8 Always be careful when skidding or sliding.
Learn to safely control skidding or sliding by
practicing at low speeds and on level, smooth
terrain. On extremely slippery surfaces, such
as ice, go slowly and be very cautious in
order to reduce the chance of skidding or slid-
ing out of control.
8 Never operate an ATV in fast flowing water or
in water deeper than that recommended in
this manual. Remember that wet brakes may
have reduced stopping ability. Test your
brakes after leaving water. If necessary, apply
them several times to let friction dry out the
linings.
8 Always use the size and type of tires specified
in this manual.
