OPERATION
Driving Downhill
When driving downhill, follow these precautions:
1. Always check the terrain
carefully before descending
a hill.
2. Always move the 4X4
switch to ADC 4X4 before
ascending or descending a
hill. See page 43.
3. Avoid steep hills. Maximum
incline is:
15° (2-Up Models)
25° (1-Up Models)
4. Always descend a hill with
the transmission in forward
gear. Do not descend a hill
with the transmission in
neutral.
5. Slow down. Never travel
down a hill at high speed.
6. Drive straight downhill.
Avoid traveling down a hill
at an angle, which would
cause the vehicle to lean
sharply to one side.
7. Shift body weight uphill. A
passenger should also shift
body weight uphill.
8. Apply the brakes slightly to
aid in slowing. Applying the
brakes too firmly may cause
the rear wheels to lock,
which could result in loss of
control.
2-Up ATVs
