S
Always follow proper procedures for
crossing the side of a hill. Avoid hills
with excessively slippery or loose sur-
faces. Shift your weight to the uphill
side of the ATV. Never attempt to turn
the ATV around on any hill until you’ve
mastered (on level ground) the turning
technique outlined in this manual. Avoid
crossing the side of a steep hill when
possible.
S
Always be careful of skidding or sliding.
On slippery surfaces like ice, travel slow-
ly and use extra caution to reduce the
chance of skidding or sliding out of con-
trol.
S
Always use proper procedures if you
stall or roll backwards while climbing a
hill. To avoid stalling, maintain a steady
speed when climbing a hill. If you stall
or roll backwards, follow the special pro-
cedure for braking described in this
manual. Always dismount on the uphill
side, or to either side if the ATV is
pointed straight uphill. Turn the ATV
around and remount following the proce-
dure described in this manual.
S
Always check for obstacles before oper-
ating in a new area. Never attempt to
operate over large obstacles, such as
rocks or fallen trees. Always follow
proper procedures when operating over
obstacles as described in this manual.
