CLIMBING UPHILL
WARNING
EWB01591
Climbing hills improperly can cause overturns
or loss of control. Use proper riding tech-
niques described in this Owner’s Manual.
●
Never operate the ATV on hills too steep for
the ATV or for your abilities. The ATV can
overturn more easily on extremely steep hills
than on level surfaces or small hills.
●
Always check the terrain carefully 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
sudden gear changes. The ATV could flip
over backwards.
●
Never go over the top of any hill at high
speed. An obstacle, a sharp drop, or another
vehicle or person could be on the other side
of the hill.
●
Never attempt to turn the ATV around on any
hill until you have mastered the turning tech-
nique as described in the Owner’s Manual on
level ground. Be very careful when turning
on any hill.
●
Avoid crossing the side of a steep hill if pos-
sible. When crossing the side of a hill, shift
your weight to the uphill side of the ATV.
