turn at faster speeds. Do not turn at exces-
sive speeds.
Always have the ATV inspected by an
authorized Polaris dealer if it's been

for the ATV or for your abilities. Practice
on smaller hills before attempting larger
hills.
Always follow proper procedures for
climbing hills. Check the terrain carefully
before ascending a hill. Never climb hills

Always follow proper procedures for
going downhill and for braking on hills.

going down a hill at an angle, which
would cause the vehicle to lean sharply to
one side. Drive straight downhill.
