Operator Safety
Always follow proper procedures for going downhill and for braking on hills. Check the terrain carefully
.
before you start down a hill. Shift your weight backward.
Never go down a hill at high speed. Avoid going
down a hill at an angle, which would cause the vehicle to lean sharply to one side. Travel straight down the
hill when possible.
Always follow proper procedures for crossing the side of a hill. Avoid hills with excessively 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 '
ve mastered (on level ground) the turning technique
outlined in this manual. Avoid crossing
the side of a steep hill when possible.
Always use proper procedures if you stall or roll backwards while climbing a hill. To avoid stalling, maintain
a steady speed when climbing a hill.
If you stall or roll backwards, follow the special procedure for braking
described in this manual. Always dismount on the uphill side, or to either side if the ATV is pointed straight
uphill. Turn the ATV around and remount following the procedure described in this manual.
