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.
POTENTIAL HAZARD
Improperly crossing hills or turning on
hills.
WHAT CAN HAPPEN
Could cause loss of control or cause the

HOW TO AVOID THE HAZARD
Never attempt to turn the ATV around on
any hill until you have mastered the turn-
ing technique as described in the Owner’s
