OPERATION
Driving Uphill
Braking and handling are greatly affected when operating in hilly ter-
rain. Improper procedure could cause loss of control or overturn. When-
ever traveling uphill, follow these precautions:
1. Always move the 4X4 switch to ADC 4X4 before ascending or
descending a hill. See page 39.
2. Drive straight uphill.
3. Avoid steep hills (15° maximum).
4. Always check the terrain carefully before ascending any hill.
5. Never climb hills with excessively slippery or loose surfaces.
6. Keep both feet on the footrests.
7. Shift body weight uphill. A passenger should also shift body weight
uphill.
8. Proceed at a steady rate of speed and throttle opening. Opening the
throttle suddenly could cause the ATV to flip over backwards.
9. 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.
10. Remain alert and be prepared to take emergency action. This may
include quick dismounting of the vehicle.
