CLIMBING UPHILL

Use proper riding techniques to avoid vehicle

overturns on hills. Be sure that you can maneu-

ver your ATV well on flat ground before attempt-

ing any incline and then practice riding first on

gentle slopes. Try more difficult climbs only after

you have developed your skill. In all cases avoid

inclines with slippery or loose surfaces, or obsta-

cles that might cause you to lose control.

It is important when climbing a hill to make sure

that your weight is transferred forward on the

ATV. This can be accomplished by leaning for-

ward and, on steeper inclines, standing on the

footboards and leaning forward over the handle-

bars.

POTENTIAL HAZARD

Operating on excessively steep hills.

WHAT CAN HAPPEN

The vehicle can overturn more easily on

extremely steep hills than on level sur-

faces or small hills.

WARNING

HOW TO AVOID THE HAZARD

Never operate the ATV on hills too steep

for the ATV or for your abilities.

Practice on smaller hills before attempting

large hills.
