RIDING OVER OBSTACLES
WARNING
Crossing hills or turning on hills improperly
could be hazardous.
Crossing hills or turning on hills improperly
could cause loss of control or overturn.

hill until you have mastered the turning

when turning on any hill. Avoid crossing the side of a steep hill if possible.
TRAVERSING A SLOPE
WARNING
Operating this ATV over obstacles improperly could be hazardous.
Improperly crossing obstacles could cause loss of control or a
collision. It could also cause the ATV to overturn.
If you come to an obstacle that you cannot avoid, you may be able to cross over it by
using the following procedure.
1. If the obstacle is in front of you, approach at walking speed.
2. Rise up slightly on the footrests.
3. Pull up on the handlebar and apply a little throttle as the front wheels reach the obstacle.
4. Lean forward and release the throttle after the front wheels are over the obstacle.
Remember that some obstacles are too high for your ATV or for your abilities. If you are
not sure that you can safely cross over an obstacle, back up and ride around the obstacle.
