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. Improper braking
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.
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.
WARNING
POTENTIAL HAZARD
Going down a hill improperly.
WHAT CAN HAPPEN
Could cause loss of control or cause the
ATV to overturn.
Always follow proper procedures for go-
ing down hills as described in this Own-
er’s Manual. Note: a special technique is
required when braking as you go down
a hill.
HOW TO AVOID THE HAZARD
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.
