CROSSING HILLSIDES
Driving on a sidehill is not recommended. Improper
procedure could cause loss of control or overturn.
Avoid crossing the side of any hill unless absolutely
necessary.
If crossing a hillside is unavoidable, always follow
proper procedures as described in the owner’s
manual. See page 42.
Never attempt to turn the ATV around on any hill until you’ve mastered the
turning technique (on level ground) as described in the owner’s manual. See the
Turning Around on a Hill section for details.
STALLING WHILE CLIMBING A HILL
Stalling, rolling backwards or improperly dismounting

and then lock the parking brake.
• Dismount on uphill side, or to either side if the ATV
is pointed straight uphill.
• Turn the ATV around and remount, following the
procedure described on page 42.
If the ATV begins rolling downhill:
• Keep body weight uphill.
• Apply the front brakes gradually.
• Never apply the rear brake while rolling backwards.
• Never apply engine power.
• When fully stopped, apply the rear brake as well, and then lock the parking
brake.
• Dismount on uphill side, or to either side if ATV is pointed straight uphill.
