Side Hilling; Traveling Downhill - Craftsman 108.27807 Operator's Manual

Side Hilling

WARNING
Improperly crossing hills or turning on hills can be dangerous. Loss of vehicle
control or overturning of the ATV could occur causing severe injury or death.
Side hilling your ATV is one of the most dangerous types of riding and should be
avoided. If you do enter into a situation where side hilling is necessary, always:
1. Slow down.
2. Lean into the hill transferring your upper body weight toward the hill while
keeping your feet on the footrests.
3. Steer slightly into the hill to maintain vehicle direction.
4. If vehicle begins to tip, quickly turn the front wheel downhill, if possible, or
dismount on the uphill side immediately!

Traveling Downhill

WARNING
When traveling downhill do not travel at excessive speeds. It is dangerous and can
cause loss of vehicle control and tipping, resulting in severe injury or death.
Whenever descending a hill, always:
1. Drive directly downhill.
2. Transfer your weight to the rear of
the vehicle.
3. Slow down.
4. Apply the brakes slightly to aid in
slowing.
Familiarize yourself with the auxiliary
rear brake pedal and its use in the event of losing the primary brakes.
