1. Introduction
hills as described in this manual. Check the terrain carefully before you
start down any hill. Shift your weight backward. Never go down a hill at
high speed. Avoid going down a hill at an angle which would cause the
vehicle to lean sharply to one side. Go straight down the hill where
possible.
 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 turning technique described
in this manual on level ground. Avoid crossing the side of a steep hill if
possible.
 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. Dismount on the uphill side or to either side if pointed
straight uphill. Turn the ATV around and remount, following the procedure
described in this manual.
 Always check for obstacles before operating in a new area. Never attempt
to operate over large obstacles, such as large rocks or fallen trees. Always
follow proper procedures when operating over obstacles as described in
this manual.
 Always be careful of skidding of 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.
 Avoid operating the ATV through deep or fast flowing water. Avoid water
which exceeds the recommended maximum depth. Go slowly, balance
your weight carefully avoiding sudden movements, maintain a slow and
steady forward motion, do not make sudden turns or stops, and do not
make sudden throttle changes.
 Wet brakes may have reduced stopping ability. Test your brakes after
leaving water. If necessary apply them lightly several times to let friction
dry out the pads.
 Always be sure there are no obstacles or people behind you when you
operate in reverse. When it is safe to proceed in reverse, go slowly. Avoid
turning at sharp angles in reverse.
 Always use the size and type tires specified in this manual. Always
maintain proper tire pressure as described in this manual.
 Never modify an ATV through improper installation or use of accessories
 Never exceed the stated load capacity for an ATV. Cargo should be
properly distributed and securely attached. Reduce speed and follow
instructions in this manual for carrying cargo or pulling a trailer. Allow
greater distance for braking.
