Improperly crossing hills or turning on hills could
cause loss of control or cause the ATV to
overturn.
Always follow proper procedures for crossing or
turning on slopes as described in this Owner’s
Manual. Avoid crossing steep hills if possible.

Crossing or Turning on Hills or Slopes
Riding Your ATV
Basic Operation & Riding
When you’ve selected a safe downhill path, shift into a lower gear, shift
your weight back with your arms extended and braced against the
handlebar, then go down slowly with the throttle closed.
Use mainly the rear brake to control speed. Avoid using either the front
brake or rear brake hard or abruptly when riding down hills.
Riding on hills or slopes is different from riding on level terrain. Be
careful when riding on any hill. Make sure that you practice on gentle,
smooth slopes before attempting to ride on steeper or more difficult
terrain.
Remember, braking effectiveness is reduced on any hill with a loose
surface.
Remember that operating any brake control with four-wheel drive will
cause braking at both the front and rear wheels.
