Avoid higher speeds until you are thoroughly familiar with the operation of your ATV. 
Do not attempt to climb hills until you have mastered basic maneuvers on fl t ground. 
Always check the terrain carefully before attempting any hill. In all cases avoid inclines 
with slippery or loose surfaces, or obstacles that might cause you to lose control.

UPHILL RIDING
To climb a hill, you need traction, momentum and steady throttle.  Travel fast enough to maintain momentum, but not 
so fast that you cannot react to changes in the terrain as you climb.

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 foot boards and leaning forward over the 
handlebars. When ever possible, ride straight up hills. Slow 
down when you reach the crest of the hill if you cannot see 
clearly what is on the other side - there could be another 
person, an obstacle, or a sharp drop-

off

. Use common sense 

and remember that some hills are too steep for you to climb 
or descend.

If you are climbing a hill and you find 

that

 you have not properly judged your ability to make it to the top, you should 

turn the ATV around while you still have forward motion (provided you have the room to do so) and go down the hill If 
your ATV has stalled or stopped and you believe you can continue up the hill, restart carefully to make sure you do not lift 
the front wheels which could cause you to lose control. If you are unable to continue up the hill, dismount the ATV on the 
uphill side. Physically turn the ATV around and then descend the hill.

If you start to roll backwards, DO NOT apply the brakes abruptly. Apply only the front brake. When fully 
stopped, apply the rear brake as well, and then lock the parking brake. The ATV could easily tip over 
backwards so immediately dismount the ATV on the uphill side or to the left-hand side when the ATV is 
pointed straight uphill. If possible, get help to turn the ATV around and then remount it when safe and ride 
downhill carefully as explained in the next section.
