Yamaha RAPTOR 700R Owner's Manual page 77

WHAT CAN HAPPEN
The ATV can overturn more easily on ex-
tremely 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.
It is important when climbing a hill to make sure
that your weight is transferred forward on the ATV.
This can be accomplished by leaning forward and,
on steeper inclines, standing on the footboards
and leaning forward over the handlebars.
