RIDING DOWN SLOPE
When riding your ATV down slope, shift your
weight as far to the rear and up slope side of the
ATV as possible. Move back on the seat and sit
with your arms straight. Engine compression
will do most of the braking for you. For maximum
engine compression braking effect, select low
range “L” and change to 4WD before beginning
to descend the slope. Improper braking may
cause a loss of traction.
Use caution while descending a slope 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 slope, using either brake lever or
the brake pedal will brake the wheels on the
downslope side. Avoid sudden application of
either the front or rear brake because the
wheels on the up of slope side could come off
the ground. Apply both the front and rear brakes
gradually.
POTENTIAL HAZARD
Going down a slope improperly.
WHAT CAN HAPPEN
Could cause loss of control or cause the
ATV to overturn.
HOW TO AVOID THE HAZARD
Always follow proper procedures for going
down slopes as described in this Owner's
Manual. Note: a special technique is
required when braking as you go down a
slope.

WARNING
Whenever possible, ride your ATV straight down
slope. 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 obstacles which may appear.
