Crossing a Slope
WARNING
Improperly crossing hills or turning on hills could cause loss of control or cause the
ATV to overturn.
Success in riding downhill depends on how familiar and skilled you are with using
your brakes. Use care and balance braking force and downhill speed so you don’t
lose control. Use this method for riding downhill:
1. Shift your body weight as far back on the seat as possible.
2.
Do not shift the ATV into neutral (“N”).
3.
Lightly apply the brakes and use very little throttle.
Side-hilling requires advanced ATV riding skills as the terrain can be dicult and
unpredictable. Whether your skills are advanced or not, try to avoid this kind of
riding. If you are in a situation where you absolutely have to side-hill on your ATV,
use this riding method:
1.
Keep the ATV speed low and consistent.
2. Shift all your body weight to the uphill side of the seat; also, support your
weight on the uphill footrest.
3.
Steer as if you are driving into the hill.
4. If your ATV feels like it may tip over, turn the handlebar downhill. If that is not
possible because of the terrain or other conditions, stop and get o the ATV.
Dismount your ATV on the uphill side.
