Riding On Hills
Here are some basic guidelines for traversing:
• Keep both feet firmly on the footrests.
• Lean your upper body uphill.
• When riding on soft terrain, you may need to gently turn your front
wheel(s) uphill to keep the ATV on a straight line across the hill.
• If your ATV begins to tip, turn the front wheels downhill if the terrain
allows. If the terrain does not permit, dismount on the uphill side
immediately.
• Avoid making sudden throttle changes.
