Yamaha GRIZZLY 350 Owner's Manual page 74

If you are climbing a hill and you find that you have
not properly judged your ability to make it to the
top, you should turn the ATV around while you still
have forward motion (provided you have the room
to do so) and go down the hill.
EWB01190
POTENTIAL HAZARD
Improperly crossing hills or turning on hills.
WHAT CAN HAPPEN
Could cause loss of control or cause the
ATV to overturn.
HOW TO AVOID THE HAZARD
Never attempt to turn the ATV around on any
7
hill until you have mastered the turning tech-
nique as described in the Owner's Manual
on level ground. Be very careful when turn-
ing on any hill.
Avoid crossing the side of a steep hill if pos-
sible.
WARNING
When crossing the side of a hill:
Always follow proper procedures as de-
scribed in the Owner's Manual.
Avoid hills with excessively slippery or loose
surfaces.
Shift your weight to the uphill side of the
ATV.
If your ATV has stalled or stopped and you believe
you can continue up the hill, restart carefully to
make sure you do not lift the front wheels which
could cause you to lose control. If you are unable
to continue up the hill, dismount the ATV on the up-
hill side. Physically turn the ATV around and then
descend the hill.
