CLIMBING UPHILL
Use proper riding techniques to avoid vehicle
overturns on hills. Be sure that you can maneu-
ver your ATV well on flat ground before attempt-
ing any incline and then practice riding first on
gentle slopes. Try more difficult climbs only after
you have developed your skill. In all cases avoid
inclines with slippery or loose surfaces, or obsta-
cles that might cause you to lose control.
It is important when climbing a hill to make sure
that your weight is transferred forward on the
ATV. This can be accomplished by leaning for-
ward and, on steeper inclines, standing on the
footboards and leaning forward over the handle-
bars.
POTENTIAL HAZARD
Operating on excessively steep hills.
WHAT CAN HAPPEN
The vehicle can overturn more easily on
extremely steep hills than on level sur-
faces or small hills.
q
WARNING
HOW TO AVOID THE HAZARD
Never operate the ATV on hills too steep
for the ATV or for your abilities.
Practice on smaller hills before attempting
large hills.
