Riding downhill
When riding your ATV downhill, shift your weight
as far to the rear and uphill side of the ATV as
possible. Move back on the seat and sit with your
arms straight. Choose a low gear which will allow
the engine compression to do most of the braking
for you. Wrong braking may lead to a loss of
traction.
Use caution while descending a hill with loose or
slippery surfaces. Braking ability and traction may
be adversely affected by these surfaces. Wrong
braking may also cause a loss of traction If
possible, ride your ATV straight downhill. Avoid
sharp angles which could cause the ATV to tip or
roll over. Carefully choose your path and ride no
faster than you will be able to react to obstacles
which may appear.
POTENTIAL HAZARD
Going down a hill improperly.
WHAT CAN HAPPEN
Could cause loss of control or cause the ATV
to overturn.
HOW TO AVOID THE HAZARD
Always follow proper procedures for going
down hills as described in this Owner’s
Manual.
Note: a special technique is required when
braking as you go down a hill.
Always 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
would cause the ATV to lean sharply to one
side. Go straight down the hill where
possible.
