HOW TO BRAKE SMOOTHLY & SAFELY

• Look well ahead and behind you. Is it safe to stop here?
• Fully release the throttle before applying the brake.
• Avoid braking heavily, especially when you’re changing direction or cornering, as the machine can become unbalanced.
• Use the brakes lightly on icy terrain - slamming on the brakes can cause your sled to spin out of control.
