Driving Downhill - Polaris 2008 Defense MVRS 800 6X6 Owner's Manual

Driving Safely
Driving on a Sidehill (Sidehilling)
Crossing hillsides or turning on hills can result in loss of control or vehicle
overturn, resulting in severe injury or death. Avoid crossing the side of a hill
when possible. When unavoidable, exercise extreme caution. Avoid steep
hills (15° maximum) unless you have received proper training from a certified
training instructor.

Driving Downhill

Whenever descending a hill, follow these precautions:
1. Proceed directly downhill.
2. Slow down.
3. Apply the brakes slightly to aid in slowing.
Traveling downhill improperly could cause loss of control or vehicle overturn.
Always check the terrain carefully before descending a hill.
Never descend a hill at high speed. Excessive speed may result in loss of
vehicle control and lead to serious injury or death. Always operate slowly
when traveling downhill.
Avoid descending a hill at an angle, which would cause the vehicle to lean
sharply to one side. Travel straight downhill when possible.
Avoid steep hills (15° maximum) unless you have received proper training
from a certified training instructor.
