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. Engine compres-
sion will do most of the braking for you. For
maximum engine compression braking effect,
select low range and change to 4WD before
beginning to descend the hill. Improper brak-
ing may cause a loss of traction. Use caution
while descending a hill with loose or slippery
surfaces. Braking ability and traction may be
adversely affected by these surfaces. Improp-
er 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 hills, using either brake le-
ver or the brake pedal will brake the wheels
on the downhill side. Avoid sudden applica-
tion of either the front or rear brake because
the wheels on the uphill side could come off
the ground. Apply both the front and rear
brakes gradually.
Whenever possible, ride your ATV straight
downhill. Avoid sharp angles which could al-
low 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.
