100 SAFE OPERATION WARNING HAZARD Removing hands from handlebars or feet from footboards during operation. WHAT CAN HAPPEN Removing even one hand or foot can reduce your ability to control the ATV or could cause you to lose your balance and fall off of the ATV. If you remove a foot from a footboard, your foot or leg may come into contact with the rear wheels, which could injure you or cause an accident. HOW TO AVOID THE HAZARD Always keep both hands on the handlebars and both feet on the footboards of your ATV during operation. The type of riding terrain has a large effect on turning. On loose surfaces the inside rear wheel will slip easily and the vehicle can be turned sharply. On hard surfaces the inside rear wheel will not slip as easily, and the vehicle's turning radius will increase. Thus you must allow more room to complete your turn. If the vehicle starts to tip in a turn, lean more to the inside of the turn. It may be necessary to reduce your speed and straighten out if possible. Don't put your foot down; keep both feet on the footboards. Remember: żSlow down before entering the turn. żSit forward on the seat. żLean into the turn. żPut your weight on the outer footboard. żMaintain an even speed through the turn. j
