Driving Safely
Driving Downhill
When driving downhill, follow these precautions:
1. Shift your weight uphill.
2. Drive straight downhill.
3. Slow down.
4. Squeeze the brake lever gradually.
NOTE: Before operating your ATV, learn how to use the auxiliary brake for
emergency situations (if single-lever brakes become inoperable).
WARNING
Excessive speed when traveling downhill can cause loss of control and seri-
ous injury or death. Slow down.
Applying the brakes too firmly may cause the rear wheels to lock, which
could result in loss of control and serious injury or death. Apply the brakes
gradually.
