If the vehicle starts to turn over towards the outside of the corner,
reduce speed, compensate with the steering or lean even more to
the inside. It could also be necessary to reduce your speed gradually
and to turn the steering to the outside of the corner to avoid tumbling
over.
CLIMBING HILLS
We recommend starting gradually on gradual slopes and increase
the inclination as your skill improves. In any case, avoid loose or
slippery surfaces or obstacles at any time, as we have already
mentioned, the QUAD has not been designed to jump obstacles so
it is advisable to avoid doing this.
WARNING
Do not accelerate or change gear suddenly. The QUAD could tumble
over backwards. In this case the rear guard would not help, as the
inertia would be considerable. Never go over the top of a climb at
full speed. On the other side, there could be an obstacle, a steep
descent, another vehicle or even a person.
While climbing a slope you discover that you have not correctly
calculated your ability to reach the top, turn the QUAD while you still
have some traction (if there is enough room) and descend.
If the vehicle starts rolling backwards, do not use the rear brake or
try to insert a gear, the QUAD might easily tumble over backwards.
Get off the vehicle immediately on the ascending side of the slope.
Remember that your safety comes first.
DESCENTS
Select a short gear that allows the engine compression to act as the
main brake. Braking incorrectly may lead to a loss of traction. See
the example in the image.
TRAVERSING SLOPES
To cross a slope with your QUAD you must place your weight correctly
to maintain correct balance. Before attempting to negotiate a slope
make sure you have learnt the basic skills on flat ground. Avoid
slippery sections and rough terrain that may cause you to lose
balance.
When descending a slope with
the QUAD, transfer your
weight to the back, to the
uphill side of the slope. Move
to the back of the seat and
remain seated their with your
arms straight.

It is important to transfer your
weight to the front part of the
QUAD during climbs. This can
be done by leaning forward
and moving the seating
position back and, if slope is
very steep, standing on the
footrests and leaning forward
a little.
