RIDING DOWNHILL
When riding your ATV downhill, shift your
weight as far to the rear and uphill side of
the ATV as possible. Move back on the seat
and sit with your arms straight. Choose a
low gear which will allow the engine com-
pression to do most of the braking for you.
Improper braking may cause a loss of trac-
tion.
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.
Whenever possible, ride your ATV straight
downhill. 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.
WARNING
POTENTIAL HAZARD
Going down a hill improperly.
WHAT CAN HAPPEN
Could cause loss of control or cause
ATV to overturn.
HOW TO AVOID THE HAZARD
Always follow proper procedures for
going down hills as described in this
Owner’s Manual. Note: a special tech-
nique is required when braking as you
go down a hill.
Always check the terrain carefully be-
fore you start down any hill.
Shift your weight backward.
Never go down a hill at high speed.
Avoid going down a hill at an angle that
would cause the vehicle to lean sharply
to one side. Go straight down the hill
where possible.
