Honda TRX420FA, Owner'S Manual

Page: 90 / 266

Operating on excessively steep hills can cause
the vehicle to overturn more easily than
operating on level surfaces or small hills.
Never operate the ATV on hills too steep for the
ATV or for your abilities.
Climbing hills improperly could cause loss of
control or cause the ATV to overturn.
Always follow proper procedures for climbing
hills as described in this owner’s manual.

Riding Up Hills
Riding Your ATV
Basic Operation & Riding
The ATV’s ability to safely climb hills largely depends on the rider’s
skill and judgment. Begin by practicing on smooth, gentle slopes. As
you gain experience, you’ll learn the hazards and your own limitations.
You may then proceed to ride on more difficult terrain. However, you
must be able to decide which hills or hazards might cause the ATV to
overturn. Avoid excessively steep hills.
When climbing hills, you must shift weight toward the front wheels to
help keep them on the ground. To do this, shift your body slightly
forward on the seat and lean forward. For greater weight shift, move
your body farther forward and lean forward.
