Driving in Hilly Terrain
WARNING!
Climbing a hill or crossing the face of a slope may result in loss of
balance and machine roll-over, causing serious injury or death. Use caution and
good judgement when driving in hilly terrain.
Use extra caution when operating in hilly terrain. If climbing a hill is
unavoidable, keep your weight low and forward. If you must cross the
face of a slope, keep your weight on the uphill side of the machine to
maintain proper balance and avoid possible roll-over.
Slow down when reaching the crest of a hill. Be prepared to react to
obstacles, sharp drops or other people or vehicles that may be on the
other side of the hill.
If you're unable to continue up a hill, turn the machine downhill before
it loses momentum. If this isn't possible, spin the track just enough to
dig in to prevent it from rolling back down the hill. Stop the engine and
set the parking brake (if equipped). Keeping away from the downhill
side of the machine, pull the rear of the snowmobile around and point
the front end and skis downhill. Remount the machine, restart the
engine, release the parking brake, and descend the hill carefully.
