2-4 Safety Information
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 if possible.
Always use proper procedures if you stall or roll backwards when climbing a hill. To avoid
stalling, use proper gear range and 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 a 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 when skidding or sliding. Learn to safely control skidding or sliding by
practicing at low speeds and on level, smooth terrain. On extremely slippery surfaces,
such as ice, go slowly and be very cautious in order to reduce the chance of skidding or
sliding out of control.
