• Always follow proper procedures for
crossing the side of a hill. Avoid hills
with excessively slippery or loose sur-
faces. Shift your weight uphill. 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.
• 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 procedure
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 procedure described in this
manual.
