To climb a hill with the ATV, follow the
directions below.
1. Speed up and maintain a steady
speed before reaching the bottom

top of the hill.
2. Shift body weight forward by slid-
ing forward on the seat. Lean
slightly forward. For steep hills,

climbing the hill.
4. Slow down when you reach the
top of the hill.

ardous.
The ATV could overturn if you do
not climb a hill properly.
Use the proper gear and maintain
a steady speed when climbing a

cedures for climbing hills as
