S Always follow proper procedures for crossing the side of a hill. Avoid hills with exces-
sively slippery or loose surfaces. Shift your weight to the uphill side of the ATV. Never
attempt to turn t he ATV around on any hill until you’ve mastered (on level ground) the

avoid stalling, maintain a steady speed when climbing a hill. If you stall or roll back-
wards, follow the special procedure for braking described in this manual. Always dis-
mount 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.
S Always check for obstacles before operating in a new area. Never attempt t o operate
over large obstacles, such as rocks or fallen trees. Always follow proper procedures
when operating over obstacles as described in this manual.
