This Quad incorporates our accumulated competition experience and that which we have gained from the achievement of many important titles. You are now in possession of a machine with which, as well as being entirely satisfied, you are offered the infinite possibilities of driving at the highest level of your skill while maintaining a maximum of security. [. . . ] Exhaust system The temperature of the QUAD's exhaust system increases with use. Park the QUAD in a especially reserved place or somewhere away from pedestrians or children. 1 1 - Turning to the right. 2 - Turning to the left. 2 HOW TO TURN YOUR QUAD At low speeds you will have no problem to turn with the handlebars. On the other hand, if speed increases the difficulty to turn will also increase. The back wheels are rigidly mounted on the same axle and turn at the same speed, so the QUAD will resist turning into corners unless the inside wheel loses some traction. A technique -28- If the technique used is not correct, the QUAD will probably continue in a straight line. If it does not turn, stop and practise the procedure again. If the vehicle starts to turn over towards the outside of the corner, reduce speed, compensate with the steering or lean even more to the inside. It could also be necessary to reduce your speed gradually and to turn the steering to the outside of the corner to avoid tumbling over. UPHILLS We recommend starting gradually on gradual slopes and increase the inclination as your skill improves. In any case, avoid loose or slippery surfaces or obstacles at any time, as we have already mentioned, the QUAD has not been designed to jump obstacles so it is advisable to avoid doing this. While climbing a slope you discover that you have not correctly calculated your ability to reach the top, turn the QUAD while you still have some traction (if there is enough room) and descend. If the vehicle starts rolling backwards, do not use the rear brake or try to insert a gear, the QUAD might easily tumble over backwards. DOWNHILLS When descending a slope with the QUAD, transfer your weight to the back, to the uphill side of the slope. Move to the back of the seat and remain seated their with your arms straight. 4 3 It is important to transfer your weight to the front part of the QUAD during climbs. This can be done by leaning forward and moving the seating position back and, if slope is very steep, standing on the footrests and leaning forward a little. Use the front and rear brakes accordingly in order to avoid slides or tumbling over. In this case the rear guard would not help, as the inertia would be considerable. On the other side, there could be an obstacle, a steep descent, another vehicle or even a person. To cross a slope with your QUAD you must place your weight correctly to maintain correct balance. Before attempting to cross a slope make sure you have learned the basic skills on flat ground -29- on flat ground. Avoid slippery sections and rough terrain that may cause you to lose balance. It might be necessary to correct direction on loose surfaces by turning the steering slightly uphill. If the QUAD begins to turn over, gradually turn downhill if there is no obstacle in the way when stability is regained, turn once more in the required direction. CROSSING SHALLOW WATERS With the QUAD you can, at slow speed, cross shallow water up to 35 mm in depth.
