OPERATING ON STEEP HILLS
Operating on excessively steep hills could cause an overturn.
Never operate on hills too steep for the ATV or for your abilities.
• Never operate a 1-up ATV on hills steeper than 25 degrees.
STALLING WHILE CLIMBING A HILL
Stalling, rolling backwards or improperly dismounting
while climbing a hill could cause a rollover.
• Always maintain a steady speed when climbing a
hill.
• Always move the 4X4 switch to ADC (if equipped)
before ascending or descending a hill.
If all forward speed is lost:
• Lean forward to keep body weight uphill. A passenger should also lean uphill.
• Apply the brakes.
• Lock the parking brake when fully stopped.
• Dismount on the uphill side of the vehicle, or on the left if the vehicle is
pointing straight uphill. Have a passenger dismount first, then the operator
may dismount.
• Turn the ATV around and remount, following the procedure described in the
owner's manual.
If the ATV begins rolling downhill:
• Keep operator and passenger body weight uphill.
• Never apply engine power.
• Never apply the rear brake while rolling backwards. Apply the hand brake
gradually.
• When fully stopped, apply the rear brake as well, and then lock the parking
brake.
• Dismount on the uphill side of the vehicle, or on the left if the vehicle is
pointing straight uphill. Have a passenger dismount first, then the operator
may dismount.
• Turn the ATV around and remount, following the procedure described in the
owner's manual.
