If your ATV can't make it up a hill you are trying
1
to climb:
Turn the ATV around if you still have forward

speed. If not, stop, dismount on the uphill side of
the ATV and physically turn the ATV around. If
3
the ATV starts to slip backwards, DO NOT USE
THE REAR BRAKE – the ATV may tip over on
4
top of you. Dismount the ATV on the uphill side.

If your ATV is traversing a sloping surface:
Be sure to ride with your weight positioned to-
6
wards the uphill side of the ATV to maintain
proper balance. If the ATV starts to tip, steer
7
down the hill (if there are no obstacles in your
way) to regain balance. If you discover that the
8
ATV is going to tip over, dismount on the uphill
9 side. (See page 7-17.)
G If your ATV encounters shallow water:
10
Ride slowly and carefully through slow moving
water, watching for obstacles. Be sure to let wa-
11
ter drain from the ATV and CHECK YOUR
BRAKES FOR PROPER OPERATION when
you come out of the water. Do not continue to
ride your ATV until you have regained adequate
braking ability. (See page 7-18.)
