CLIMBING UPHILL
Use proper riding techniques to avoid vehicle overturns on
hills. Be sure that you can maneuver your ATV well on
flat ground before attempt ing any incline and then practice
riding first on gentle slopes. Try more difficult climbs only
after you have developed your skill. In all cases avoid
inclines with slippery or loose surfaces, or obstacles that
might cause you to lose control.
POTENTIAL HAZARD
Operating on excessively steep hills.
WHAT CAN HAPPEN
The vehicle can overturn more easily on extremely steep hills
than on level surfaces or small hills.
HOW TO AVOID THE HAZARD
Never operate the ATV on hills too steep for the ATV or
for your abilities. Practice on smaller hills before attempting
largehills.
It is important when climbing a hill to make sure that your
weight is transferred forward on the ATV. This can be
accomplished by leaning forward and, on steeper inclines,
standing on the footboards and leaning forward over the
handlebars.
