RIDING

Sidehilling

Sidehilling your ATV is one of the most dangerous types of

riding and should be avoided if possible. In the event you do

enter into a situation where sidehilling is necessary, always:

1. Slow down.
2. Lean into the hill transferring your upper body weight toward the

hill while keeping your feet on the footrests.

3. Steer slightly into the hill to maintain vehicle directions.

If vehicle begins to tip, quickly turn the front wheel downhill, if pos-

sible, or dismount on the uphill side immediately!

Improperly crossing hills or turning on hills can be danger-

ous. Loss of vehicle control or overturning of the ATV

could occur causing severe injury or death.
