ATV Operation
Sidehilling/Traversing
Sidehilling is considered an advanced
skill; it’s really tricky and unpredictable.
So, whether your skills are advanced or
not, try to avoid this kind of riding. If
you’re in a situation where you absolutely
have to sidehill, follow this method:
ATV-0017
ATV-0028
ATV-0029
1. Keep your speed low and consistent.
2. Shift all your body weight and pas-
senger’s body weight to the uphill
side of the seat; also, support weight
on the uphill footrest.
3. Steer like you’re driving into the hill.
4. If the ATV feels like it’s tipping, turn
the handlebar downhill. If that’s not
possible because of the terrain or
other conditions or if it just doesn’t
work, stop and get off. Have the pas-
senger dismount on the uphill side
first; then you should dismount on the
uphill side.
Swerving
Swerving is usually an emergency reac-
tion to avoid an obstacle but is similar to
quick turns. The difference is that quick
turns involve slight acceleration in the
turn; don’t accelerate if you swerve.
ATV-0043
ATV-0042
ATV-0041
1. Ease off the throttle as you approach
the obstacle.
2. Turn the handlebar. At the same time,
shift weight and balance as you
swerve. Use the principles of leaning,
weight shifting, and balancing —
shift your body weight to the inside of
the turn.
3. Keep your hand off the brake until the
emergency is over and you’re back in
control.
