Riding Your ATV
Basic Operation & Riding
If the hill is too steep or too slippery, or if you have any doubt whether
you can safely walk the ATV back down the hill, leave the vehicle
where it is and get help. If possible, block the wheels so the vehicle
doesn’t roll backwards.
If the hill is not too steep and you have good footing, you may be able
to walk the ATV back down the hill. Make sure your intended path is
clear in case you lose control of the ATV.
Stand with your body facing downhill, beside the vehicle so you can
reach the rear brake lever with your right hand.
Be sure your legs are clear of the wheels.
Check your footing.
Slowly and carefully back the ATV down the hill using the rear brake
lever to control speed.
If you lose control of the ATV, for your safety, get away from the
vehicle.
