WARNING
POTENTIAL HAZARD
Operating on excessively steep hills.
WHAT CAN HAPPEN
The vehicle can overturn more easily on extremely steep hills than on level
surfaces or small hills.
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. Never operate ATV on hills with an
incline steeper than 15 degrees.
WARNING
POTENTIAL HAZARD
Going down a hill improperly.
WHAT CAN HAPPEN
Could cause loss of control or cause ATV to overturn.
HOW TO AVOID THE HAZARD
Always follow proper procedures for going down hills as described in Section 12
"Riding – Traveling Downhill".
NOTE:
A special technique is required when braking as you go
downhill. Always check the terrain carefully before you start down
any hill. Shift your weight backward. Never go down a hill at high speed. Avoid
going down a hill at an angle which would cause the vehicle to lean sharply to one
side. Go straight down the hill where possible.
WARNING
POTENTIAL HAZARD
Improperly crossing hills or turning on hills.
WHAT CAN HAPPEN
Could cause loss of control or cause ATV to overturn.
HOW TO AVOID THE HAZARD
Never attempt to turn the ATV around on any hill until you have mastered the level
ground turning technique as described in Section 12 "Riding – Making Turns". Be
very careful when turning on any hill. Avoid crossing the side of a steep hill if
possible.
When crossing the side of a hill:
Always follow proper procedures as described in Section 11 "Riding – Side Hilling".
Avoid hills with excessively slippery or loose surfaces. Shift your weight to the
uphill side of the ATV.
