Use caution while descending a hill with loose or
slippery surfaces. Braking ability and traction may
be adversely affected by these surfaces. Improper
braking may also cause a loss of traction.
When this ATV is in “4WD”, all wheels (front and
rear) are interconnected by the drive train. This
means that applying either the front brake or the
rear brake will brake all wheels. When descending
hills, using either brake lever or the brake pedal will
brake the wheels on the downhill side. Avoid sud-
den application of either the front or rear brake be-
cause the wheels on the uphill side could come off
the ground. Apply both the front and rear brakes
gradually.
Whenever possible, ride your ATV straight down-
hill. Avoid sharp angles which could allow the ATV
to tip or roll over. Carefully choose your path and
ride no faster than you will be able to react to ob-
stacles which may appear.

CROSSING A SLOPE

WARNING

EWB01632

Improperly crossing hills or turning on hills
could cause loss of control or cause the ATV to
overturn.

●

Always follow proper procedures as de-
scribed in the Owner’s Manual.

●

Avoid hills with excessively slippery or loose
surfaces.

●

Avoid crossing the side of a steep hill.
