Riding Uphill
Many accidents happen while riding on
hills and as a result of the ATV rolling
or flipping. So, obviously, use extreme
caution and follow this method for rid-
ing uphill.
ATV-207
1. Accelerate before you start climb-
ing; then maintain a steady pace.
2. Both the operator and the passen-
ger should lean as far forward as
possible. For steeper hills, the
operator should come off the seat
to stand and lean forward.
3. If you lose speed, release the throttle
(so your front tires don’t lift),
OR
4. If that doesn’t work and you still
have forward motion and the ter-
rain permits, do a U-turn, go back
down, and try climbing again,
OR
5. If you have lost all forward motion,
follow the K-turn procedure.
