RIDING DOWN SLOPE
When riding your ATV down slope, shift your
weight as far to the rear and up slope side of
the ATV as possible. Move back on the seat
and sit with your arms straight. Improper
braking may cause a loss of traction.
Use caution while descending a slope with
loose or slippery surfaces. Braking ability and
traction may be adversely affected by these
surfaces.
Improper braking may also cause a loss of
traction. Whenever possible, ride your ATV
straight down slope. Avoid sharp angles
which could allow the ATV to tip or roll over.
Carefully choose your path and ride no faster
than you will be able to react to obstacles
which may appear.
POTENTIAL HAZARD
Going down a slope improperly.
WHAT CAN HAPPEN
Could cause loss of control or cause the
ATV to overturn.
HOW TO AVOID THE HAZARD
Always follow proper procedures for
going down slopes as described in this
Owner's Manual. Note: a special
technique is required when braking as
you go down a slope.
Always check the terrain carefully before
you start down any slope.
Shift your weight backward.
Never go down a slope at high speed.
Avoid going down a slope at an angle
that would cause the vehicle to lean
sharply to one side. Go straight down the
slope where possible.
