BRP Can-am Renegade 70 2023 Operator's Manual page 53

We recommend sitting on your ATV when operating in reverse. Avoid
standing up. Your weight could shift forward against throttle lever,
causing an unexpected acceleration.

Obstacles in the "trail" should be traversed with caution. This includes
loose rocks, fallen trees, slippery surfaces, fences, posts, and em-
bankments and depressions. You should avoid them whenever possi-
ble. Remember that some obstacles are too large or dangerous to
cross and should be avoided. Small rocks or fallen trees may be safely
crossed approach at a 90° angle. Stand on the footrests while keeping
your knees flexed. Adjust speed without losing momentum and do not
"gun" the throttle. Hold handlebar firmly. Place body weight rearwards
and proceed. Do not try to lift the vehicle front wheels off the ground.
Be aware that the object may be slippery or may move while crossing.

Before trying to climb a hill, keep these things in mind. Hill Climbing
should only be attempted by experienced operators. Start on shallow
slopes. Always drive straight uphill and keep your body weight forward
towards the top of the hill. Keep your feet on the footrests, shift your
ATV into a lower gear and accelerate before you start to climb. Try to
keep a steady speed and go easy on the throttle to avoid acceleration.
Abrupt slope or terrain variation or rolling one wheel over an obstacle
could have a big impact on the stability as it will lift the front of the ve-
hicle increasing the risk of tipping over. Some hills are too steep to
safely stop or recover from after an unsuccessful climbing attempt. Try
to avoid steep inclines. If you're not careful, you could tip over when
going up hills. If the hill is too steep and you cannot proceed or the ve-
hicle begins to roll backwards, apply the brake, being careful not to
slide, put the parking brake. Dismount on the left side then use the "K"
turn (while walking back, next to the vehicle on the up hill side and with
a hand on the brake lever, slowly back the rear of the vehicle toward
the top of the hill then drive downhill). Always walk or dismount on the
upside of the slope while keeping clear of the vehicle and its rotating
wheels. Do not try to hold on to the vehicle if it begins to topple. Stay
clear. Do not ride over the crest of the hill at high speed. Obstacles, in-
cluding sharp drop-offs, may exist.
