·
Never operate ATV on hills too steep for the ATV or for your abilities. Practice on
smaller hills before attempting larger hills.
·
Always follow proper procedures for climbing hills as described in this manual.
Check the terrain carefully before you start up any hill. Never climb hills with
excessively slippery or loose surfaces. Shift your weight forward. Never open the
throttle suddenly or make sudden gear changes. Never go over the top of any hill at
high speed.
·
Always follow proper procedures for going downhill and for braking on hills as
described in this manual. Check the terrain carefully before you start down any hill.
Shift your weight backward. Never go down a hill at high speed. Avoid going down a
hill at an angle, which would cause the vehicle to lean sharply to one side. Go straight
down the hill when possible.
·
Always follow proper procedures for crossing the side of a hill as described in this
manual. Avoid hills with excessively slippery or loose surfaces. Shift your weight to
the uphill side of the ATV. Never attempt to turn the ATV around on any hill until you
have mastered the turning technique described in this manual on level ground. Avoid
crossing the side of a steep hill when possible.
·
Always use proper procedures if you stall or roll backwards when climbing a hill. To
avoid stalling, maintain a steady speed when climbing a hill. If you stall or roll
backwards, follow the special procedure for braking described in this manual.
Dismount on the uphill side, or to either side if pointed straight uphill. Turn the ATV
around and remount, following the procedure described in this manual.
·
Always check for obstacles before operating in a new area. Never attempt to operate
over large obstacles, such as large rocks or fallen trees. Always follow proper
procedures when operating over obstacles as described in this manual.
·
Always be careful of skidding or sliding. On slippery surfaces, such as ice, go
slowly and be very cautious in order to reduce the chance of skidding or sliding out of
control.
·
Avoid operating the ATV through deep or fast-flowing water. Avoid water which
exceeds the recommended maximum depth, go slowly, balance your weight carefully
avoiding sudden movements, and maintain a slow and steady forward motion. Do not
make sudden turns or stops, and do not make sudden throttle changes.
·
Wet brakes may have reduced stopping ability. Test your brakes after leaving water.
