Driving Downhill - Polaris ACE 900 SP Owner's Manual

OPERATION

Driving Downhill

Whenever descending a hill, follow these precautions:
1. Avoid excessively steep hills.
2. Never operate in TURF mode (if equipped) while operating on a hill
or other irregular terrain. Always switch to AWD before ascending
or descending a hill.
3. Slow down. Never travel down a hill at high speed.
4. Always check the terrain carefully before descending a hill. Never
drive on hills with excessively slippery or loose surfaces.
5. Always descend a hill with the transmission in forward gear. Never
descend a hill with the transmission in neutral.
6. Avoid traveling down a hill at an angle, which would cause the
vehicle to lean sharply to one side. Travel straight downhill.
7. Apply the brakes lightly to aid in slowing.
