RIDING YOUR ATV
To climb a hill with the ATV, follow the directions
below.
1. Speed up and maintain a steady speed
before reaching the top of the hill.
Remember that you must ride at a steady
speed all the way to the top of the hill.
2. Shift your body forward by sliding forward
on the seat. Lean slightly forward. For steep
hills, stand on the footrests and lean forward.
3. Maintain a steady speed while climbing the
hill.
4. Slow down gradually when you reach the top
of the hill.
WARNING
Going down a hill improperly.
Could cause loss of control or cause ATV to overturn.
Always follow proper procedures for going down hills as described in the owners
manual. NOTE: a special technique is required when braking as you go down a hill.
Always check the terrain carefully before you start down any hill.
Shift your weight backward.
Never go down a hill at high speed.
Avoid going down a hill at an angle that would cause the vehicle to lean sharply to
one side. Go straight down the hill where possible.
DESCENDING A HILL
If you climb a hill and are unable to make it to the top, use one of the correct
procedures described below to get back down the hill. Never attempt to turn an ATV
around on a steep hill, doing so could cause the ATV to overturn.
If you lose forward momentum, or begin to roll backwards, follow these instructions.
1. Lean uphill.
2. Never apply rear brake but use front brake.
4. Gradually back down the hill with body weight leaning forward while
applying front brake. Use extreme caution when backing down a hill.
