To climb a hill with the LT-F400/F,
follow the directions below.
1. Speed up and maintain a
steady speed before reaching
the bottom of the hill. Shift
down to increase approach
speed, if necessary. Remem-
ber that you must ride at a
steady speed all the way to the
top of the hill.
2. Shift body weight forward by
sliding forward on the seat.
Lean slightly forward. For
steep hills, stand on the foot-
rests and lean out over the
front wheel.
3. Maintain a steady speed while
climbing the hill.
4. Slow down when you reach
the top of the hill.
WARNING
Braking on hills can be hazard-
ous.
As the LT-F400F is four-wheel
drive, using either the front
brake alone or the rear brake
alone will actually brake all four
wheels. Therefore, any applica-
tion of the brakes will result in
braking force being applied to
the downhill wheels. This could
cause the vehicle to overturn.
Be extra careful when braking
on a hill.
WARNING
Stalling, rolling backwards or
improperly dismounting the
ATV while climbing a hill can be
hazardous.
The ATV could overturn if you
do not climb a hill properly.
Use the proper gear and main-
tain a steady speed when
climbing a hill. Always follow
the proper procedures for
climbing hills as described in
this section.
