Polaris Sportsman 9921483 Owner's Manual page 16

• 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 turn-
ing technique described in this manual on
level ground. Avoid crossing the side of a
steep hill.
• Always use proper procedures if you stall
or roll backwards when climbing a hill.
To avoid stalling, maintain a steady speed
when climbing a hill. If you stall or roll
backwards, follow the special procedure
for braking described in this manual. Dis-
mount on the uphill side or to either side
if pointed straight uphill. Turn the ATV
around and remount, following the proce-
dure described in this manual.
• Always be careful of skidding or sliding.
On slippery surfaces, such as ice, go
slowly and be very cautious in order to
reduce the chance of skidding or sliding
out of control.
