Braking; Going Uphill - Yamaha RHINO YXR45FW Owner's Manual

BRAKING

Braking ability is affected by the type of ter-
rain. In most cases, gradually application of
the brakes is more effective than abrupt brak-
ing, particularly on loose surfaces like gravel.
Always allow for greater braking distance on
rough, loose, or slippery surfaces.

GOING UPHILL

Do not attempt to climb hills until you have
mastered basic maneuvers on flat ground.
Use proper driving techniques to avoid over-
turns on hills and slopes. Drive straight up
hills, and avoid crossing the side of a hill,
which increases your chance of rollover.
Practice first on gentle slopes before attempt-
ing steeper hills. Always check the terrain
carefully before attempting any hill. Use com-
mon sense and remember that some hills are
too steep for you to climb.
Maximum slope angle: 15°
Choose carefully which hills you attempt to
climb. Avoid hills with slippery surfaces or
ones where you will not be able to see far
enough ahead of you.
