Climbing Up Slope - KYMCO MXU 150 Owner's Manual

CLIMBING UP SLOPE

Use proper riding techniques to avoid vehicle
overturns on slopes. Be sure that you can
maneuver your ATV well on flat ground before
attempting any incline and then practice riding
first on gentle slopes. Try more difficult climbs
only after you have developed your skill. In all
cases avoid inclines with slippery or loose
surfaces, or obstacles that might cause you to
lose control.
POTENTIAL HAZARD
Operating on excessively steep slopes.
WHAT CAN HAPPEN
The vehicle can overturn more easily on
extremely steep slopes than on level
surfaces or small slopes.
HOW TO AVOID THE HAZARD
Never operate the ATV on slopes too steep
for the ATV or for your abilities.
Practice on smaller slopes before
attempting large slopes.
It is important when climbing a slope to make
sure that tour weight is transferred forward on
the ATV. This can be accomplished by leaning
forward, steeper inclines and standing on the
footboards and leaning forward over the
handlebars.
