An ATV is NOT a Toy and Can Be Hazardous To Operate
• Always follow proper procedures for climbing hills as described in this manual.
Check the terrain carefully before you start up any hill. Never climb hills with
slippery or loose surfaces. Shift your weight forward. Never accelerate suddenly.
Never go over the top of any hill at a high rate of speed.
• Always follow proper procedures for going down hills and for braking on hills as
described in this manual. Check the terrain carefully before you start down any
hill. Shift your weight towards the back of the ATV. Never go down a hill at a high
rate of speed. Avoid going down a hill at an angle which would cause the ATV to
lean sharply to one side. Go straight down the hill whenever possible.
• Always follow proper procedures for crossing the side of a hill as described in
this manual. Avoid hills with slippery or loose surfaces. Shift your weight to the
uphill side of the ATV. Never attempt to turn the ATV around on any hill until you
have mastered the turning techniques described in this manual on level ground.
Avoid crossing the side of a steep hill if possible.
• Always use proper procedures if you stall or roll backward when climbing a hill.
To avoid stalling, maintain a steady speed when climbing a hill. If you stall or roll
backwards, follow the special instructions for braking described in this manual.
Dismount the ATV on the uphill side or to either side if pointed straight uphill.
Turn the ATV around and mount the ATV following the special instructions
described in this manual.
• Always check for obstacles before operating in a new area.
• Never attempt to operate over large obstacles, such as large rocks or fallen
trees. Always follow proper procedures when operating over obstacles as
described in this manual.
• Always use caution when skidding or sliding. On slippery surfaces, such as ice,
go slow and be very cautious in order to reduce the chance of skidding or sliding
out of control.
• Never operate an ATV in fast owing water or in water deeper than the footrests.
Remember that wet brakes may have reduced stopping capability. Test your
brakes after exiting any water. If necessary, apply the brake lightly several times
to let friction dry out the pads.

• Always maintain proper tire pressure as described in this manual.
