CLIMBING UPHILL

Use proper riding techniques to avoid ve-

hicle overturns on hills. Be sure that you

can maneuver your ATV well on flat

ground before attempting 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 sur-

faces, or obstacles that might cause you to

lose control.

It is important when climbing a hill to make

sure that your weight is transferred for-

ward on the ATV. This can be accom-

plished by leaning forward and, on steeper

inclines, standing on the footboards and

leaning forward over the handlebars.

WARNING

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.

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 attempt-

ing large hills.
