Always follow proper procedures for going down hills and for braking on hills as described in this

manual. Check the terrain carefully before you start down any hill. Shift your weight backward.

Never go down a hill at high speed. Avoid going down a hill at an angle that will cause the ATV to lean

sharply to one side. Go straight down the hill where possible.

Always follow proper procedures for crossing the side of a hill as described in this manual. Avoid

hills with excessively slippery or loose surface. 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 check for obstacles before operating in a new area.
