Always follow proper procedures for climbing hills as described in this manual. 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. Never go over the top of
a hill at high speed.
Always follow proper procedures for going down hills and for braking on hills as described in
this manual. 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 that would
cause the vehicle to lean sharply to one side. Go straight down the hill where possible.
Always follow proper procedures for crossing the side of a hill as described in this manual.
Avoid hills with excessively slippery or loose surfaces. Shift your weight to the uphill side of the
ATV. Never attempt to turn the ATV around on any hill until you have mastered the turning
technique described in this manual on level ground. Avoid crossing the side of steep hill if
possible.
Always use proper procedures if you stall or roll backwards when climbing a hill. To avoid
stalling, use the proper gear range and maintain a steady speed when climbing a hill. If you stall
or roll backwards, follow the special procedure for braking described in this manual. Dismount
on the uphill side or to a side if pointed straight uphill. Turn the ATV around and remount,
following the procedure described in this manual.
Always check for obstacles before operating in a new area.
Never attempt to operate over large obstacles, such as large rocks or fallen trees. Always follow
proper procedures when operating over obstacles as described in this manual.
Always be careful when skidding or sliding. Learn to safety control skidding or sliding by
practicing at low speeds and on level, smooth terrain. On extremely slippery surfaces, such as
ice, go slowly and be very cautions in order to reduce the chance of skidding or sliding out of
control.
Never operate an ATV in fast flowing water or in water deeper than that recommended in this
manual. Remember that the wet brakes may have reduced stopping ability. Test your brakes
after leaving water. If necessary, apply them several times to let friction dry out the linings.
Always be sure there are no obstacles or people behind you when you operate in reverse.
When it is safe to proceed in reverse, go slowly.
Always use the size and type of tires specified in this manual.
Always maintain proper tire pressure as described in this manual.
Never modify an ATV through improper installation or use of accessories.
Never exceed the stated load capacity for an ATV. Cargo should be properly distributed and
securely attached. Reduce speed and follow instructions in this manual or carrying cargo or
pulling a trailer. Allow greater distance for braking.
