Your Vehicle 7-24
4WD or 4WD-LOCK before beginning to
descend the hill.
● Improper braking may cause a loss of
traction.
● Use caution while descending a hill with
loose or slippery surfaces. Braking
effectiveness and traction may be
adversely affected by these surfaces.
Improper braking may also cause a loss of
traction.
● When this ATV is in 4WD or 4WD-LOCK,
all wheels (front and rear) are
interconnected by the drive train. This
means applying either the front brake or
the rear brake will brake all the wheels.
When descending hills, using either brake
lever or the brake pedal will brake the
wheels on the downhill side. Avoid sudden
application of either the front or rear
brakes because the wheels on the uphill
side could lift off the ground. Apply both the
front and rear brakes gradually.
● Whenever possible, ride your ATV straight
down a hill. Avoid sharp angles which
could allow the ATV to tip or roll over.
Carefully choose your path and ride no
faster than you will be able to react to
obstacles which may appear in front of
you.
