Driving Downhill
When driving downhill, follow these precautions:
1. Shift your weight uphill.
2. Drive straight downhill.
3. Slow down.
4. Apply the brakes slightly to gradually slow the vehicle.
NOTE: Before operating your ATV, learn how to use the auxiliary brake for
emergency situations (if service brakes become inoperable).
WARNING
Excessive speed when traveling downhill can cause loss of control and
serious injury or death. Slow down.
Hard use of the braking system while descending a hill could result in a front-
end overturn, causing serious injury or death. Always operate the brakes
slightly when descending a hill.
