ATV Operation
Riding Uphill
Many accidents happen while riding on
hills and as a result of the ATV rolling or
flipping. So, obviously, use extreme caution
and follow this method for riding uphill.
1. Accelerate before you start climbing;
then maintain a steady pace.
2. Both the operator and the passenger
should lean as far forward as possible.
For steeper hills, the operator should
come off the seat to stand and lean
forward.
3. If you lose speed, release the throttle
(so your front tires don't lift), OR
4. If that doesn't work and you still have
forward motion and the terrain per-
mits, do a U-turn, go back down, and
try climbing again, OR
5. If you have lost all forward motion,
follow the K-turn procedure.
Never Operate Up Or
Down Hills Steeper
Than 25°
Riding Downhill
Success in riding downhill depends on
how well you know your brakes—take it
easy on them, or you could flip over.
1. Shift your body weight and passen-
ger's body weight as far back on the
seat as possible.
2. Keep it in a gear; stay out of neutral.
3. Lightly apply the brake and ease up
on the throttle.
