CROSSING A SLOPE
Traversing a sloping surface on your ATV re-
quires you to properly position your weight to
maintain proper balance. Be sure that you
have learned the basic riding skills on flat
ground before attempting to cross a sloping
surface. Avoid slopes with slippery surfaces
or rough terrain that may upset your balance.
As you travel across a slope, lean your body
in the uphill direction. It may be necessary to
correct the steering when riding on loose sur-
faces by pointing the front wheels slightly up-
hill. When riding on slopes be sure not to
make sharp turns either up or down hill.
If your ATV does begin to tip over, gradually
steer in the downhill direction if there are no
obstacles in your path. As you regain proper
balance, gradually steer again in the direction
you wish to travel.
WARNING
POTENTIAL HAZARD
Improperly crossing hills or turning on
hills.
WHAT CAN HAPPEN
Could cause loss of control or cause the
ATV to overturn.
HOW TO AVOID THE HAZARD
Never attempt to turn the ATV around
on any hill until you have mastered the
turning technique as described in the
Owner’s Manual on level ground. Be
very careful when turning on any hill.
Avoid crossing the side of a steep hill if
possible.
When crossing the side of a hill:
Always follow proper procedures as de-
scribed in the Owner’s Manual.
Avoid hills with excessively slippery or
loose surfaces. Shift your weight to the
uphill side of the ATV.
