It explains all the aspects concerning your safety and that of third parties, in addition to ensuring the correct care and maintenance of the GAS GAS quad bike which you have just purchased. [. . . ] Keep feet firmly on the foot rests at all times. Avoid jumping with the vehicle, as this may cause you to lose control and damage the machine. SLIDING AND SKIDDING When driving over loose or slippery surfaces, take care as the QUAD could skid. Unexpected skidding which is not corrected could lead to a serious accident. To reduce the tendency of the front wheels to skid on loose or slippery terrain, sometimes it is useful to load your body weight onto the wheels. If the rear wheels of the QUAD start to slip sideways, usually it is possible to regain control by turning the steering (if there is sufficient space to do so) in the direction of the skid. It is not a good idea to accelerate or brake until the skid has been corrected. With practice, after some time, the technique of controlled skidding can be mastered. Before trying such manoeuvres choose the terrain carefully, as stability and control are reduced while manoeuvring. Remember that skids on extremely slippery surfaces, such as ice, should be avoided, as you could lose control completely. NOTE Learn to safely control skids by practicing at low speed on smooth flat terrain. -31- TUNING TUNING FRONT SUSPENSION Formed of two trapezoidal arms with 2 ÖLHINS multi-adjustable shock absorbers.
