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.
HOW TO AVOID THE HAZARD
Always follow proper procedures for climb-
ing hills as described in this Owner’s Manual.
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 or make
sudden gear changes. 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.
