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.
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.
POTENTIAL HAZARD
Going down a hill improperly.
WHAT CAN HAPPEN
Could cause loss of control or cause the
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 technique is
required when braking as you go down a
hill.
Always check the terrain carefully before
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.
