techniques described in this Operator’s Manual.
WARNING
WARNING
Stalling, rolling backwards or improperly dismounting while climbing a hill could
result in ATV overturning. If you cannot control the ATV, dismount immediately on the
uphill side.
Approximately 20% of ATV accidents that happen while riding on hills and as a result
of the ATV rolling or ipping over. Use extreme caution when riding your ATV on
hills. Use this method for riding uphill:
1.
Slightly accelerate before you start to climb a hill and maintain a steady pace.
2.
Lean as far forward as possible. For steeper hills, lift slightly o the ATV seat,
stand and lean forward.
3. If you lose speed, carefully apply more throttle. Be prepared to release the
throttle so your front tires do not lift.
4. If you still have forward momentum and the terrain permits, do a U-turn and go
back down the hill.
5. If you have lost all forward motion, use the K-turn maneuver and go safely
down the hill.
