ATV & UTV Season Prep: 7 Things to Check Before Heading Into the Woods

Fall is one of the busiest times of year for ATV and UTV owners in the Northwoods. Whether you’re heading to deer camp, checking trail cameras or exploring the trails, taking a few minutes to inspect your machine before the season gets underway can help keep your adventures running smoothly.

Before heading into the woods, be sure to check:

  • Tire pressure and tread for safe handling on changing terrain.
  • Battery condition and connections.
  • Headlights, brake lights and other safety lighting.
  • Brakes and steering components.
  • Fluid levels and look for any leaks.
  • Body panels for cracks or damage.
  • Winches, racks and other accessories to make sure they’re secure and working properly.
