Riding Downhill - Arctic Cat 350 Manual

ATV Operation
1. Shift down and accelerate before
you start climbing; then maintain a
steady pace.
2. Lean as far forward as possible. For
steeper hills, come off your seat to
stand and lean forward.
3. If you lose speed, quickly shift to
low range. At the same time, release
the throttle (so your front tires don't
lift), OR
4. If that doesn't work and you still
have forward motion and the terrain
permits, do a U-turn, go back down,
and try climbing again, OR
5. If you have lost all forward motion,
follow the K-turn procedure.
Never Operate Up Or Down
Hills Steeper Than 25°

how well you know your brakes—take it
easy on them, or you could flip over.

Sidehilling/Traversing
Sidehilling is considered an advanced
skill; it's really tricky and unpredictable.
So, whether your skills are advanced or
not, try to avoid this kind of riding. If
you're in a situation where you absolutely
have to sidehill, follow this method:
