WARNING
EWB01580
Never operate the ATV on hills too steep for the
ATV or for your abilities. The ATV can overturn
more easily on extremely steep hills than on
level surfaces or small hills. Practice on small-
er hills before attempting large hills.
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.
WARNING
EWB01670
●
Always follow proper procedures for climb-
ing hills as described in this Owner’s Manu-
al.
●
Always check the terrain carefully before
you start up any hill.
●
Never climb hills with excessively slippery or
loose surfaces.
●
Shift your weight forward.
●
Never open the throttle suddenly. The ATV
could flip over backwards.
● Never go over the top of any hill at high
speed. An obstacle, a sharp drop, or another
vehicle or person could be on the other side
of the hill.
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.
