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
compression will do most of the braking
for you. For maximum engine compres-
sion braking effect, select low range and
change to 4WD before beginning to de-
scend the hill. Improper braking may cause
a loss of traction. Use caution while de-
scending a hill with loose or slippery sur-
faces. Braking ability and traction may be
adversely affected by these surfaces. Im-
proper 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 ei-
ther brake lever or the brake pedal will
brake the wheels on the downhill side.
Avoid sudden application 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 grad-
ually.
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.
