O

POTENTIAL HAZARD

Climbing hills improperly with your UTV.
WHAT CAN HAPPEN

Climbing hills improperly may cause you to lose control of your UXV500iG or cause the vehicle to overturn.
HOW TO AVOID THIS HAZARD

Always follow proper procedures for climbing hills as described in this Owner's Manual. Always check

the terrain carefully before you start up any hill.
Never climb hills with slippery or loose surfaces. Never accelerate suddenly, as the vehicle

might flip over backwards. Never go over the top of any hill at high speed, as an obstacle, a

sharp drop, or another vehicle or person might be on the other side of the hill.

POTENTIAL HAZARD

Going down a hill improperly on your UTV.
WHAT CAN HAPPEN

Going down a hill improperly could cause you to lose control of your UXV500iG or cause the vehicle to overturn.
HOW TO AVOID THIS HAZARD

Always follow proper riding procedures for going down hills as described in this Owner's Manual.  Always check the terrain carefully before you start down

any hill on your UXV500iG. Never go downhill at a high speed. Avoid going down a hill at an angle that would cause your vehicle to lean sharply to one side.

Go straight down the hill whenever possible.
