• Always follow proper procedures

for climbing hills as described in the

Operator’s Guide

and the

Safety

Handbook

. Check the terrain care-

fully before you start up any hill.
Never climb hills with excessively
slippery or loose surfaces. Shift
your weight forward. Never open
the throttle suddenly or make sud-
den gear changes. Never go over
the top of any hill at high speed.

• Always follow proper procedures

for going down hills and for braking
on hills as described in the

Opera-

tor’s Guide

and the

Safety Hand-

book

. Check the terrain carefully be-

fore you start down any hill. Shift
your weight backward. Never go
down a hill at high speed. Avoid go-
ing down a hill at an angle that would
cause the vehicle to lean sharply to
one side. Go straight down the hill
where possible.

• Always follow proper procedures

for crossing the side of a hill as de-
scribed in the

Operator’s Guide

and

the

Safety Handbook

. Avoid hills

with excessively slippery or loose
surfaces. Shift your weight to the
uphill side of the ATV. Never at-
tempt to turn the ATV around on any
hill until you have mastered the
turning technique described in the

Operator’s Guide

and the

Safety

Handbook

on level ground. Avoid

crossing the side of a steep hill if
possible.

• Always use proper procedures if

you stall or roll backwards when
climbing a hill. To avoid stalling, use
proper gear and maintain a steady
speed when climbing a hill. If you
stall or roll backwards, follow the
special procedure for braking de-
scribed in the

Operator’s Guide

and

the

Safety Handbook

. Dismount on

the uphill side or to a side if pointed
straight uphill. Turn the ATV around
and remount, following the proce-
dure described in the

Operator’s

Guide

and the

Safety Handbook

• Always check for obstacles before

operating in a new area. Never at-
tempt to operate over large obsta-
cles, such as large rocks or fallen
trees. Always follow proper proce-
dures when operating over obsta-
cles as described in the

Operator’s

Guide

and the

Safety Handbook

• Always be careful when skidding or

sliding. Learn to safely control skid-
ding or sliding by practicing at low
speeds and on level, smooth ter-
rain. On extremely slippery surfac-
es, such as ice, go slowly and be
very cautious in order to reduce the
chance of skidding out of control.

• Never operate an ATV in fast flow-

ing water or in water deeper than
that specified in the

Operator’s

Guide

and the

Safety Handbook

Remember that wet brakes may
have reduced stopping ability. Test
your brakes after leaving water. If
necessary, apply them several
times to let friction dry out the pads.

• Always be sure there are no obsta-

cles or people behind you when you
operate in reverse. When it is safe
to proceed in reverse, go slowly.

• Always use the size and type tires

specified in the

Operator’s Guide

Always maintain proper tire pres-
sure as described in this guide.

• Never modify an ATV through im-

proper installation or use of accesso-
ries.

• Never exceed the stated load limits

for an ATV. Cargo should be properly
distributed and securely attached.
Reduce speed and follow instruc-
tions in the

Operator’s Guide
