Driving Safely

Driving Downhill

When driving downhill, follow these precautions:

1. Always move the 4X4 switch to ADC 4X4 before ascending or

descending a hill. See page 44.

2. Shift your weight uphill.

3. Drive straight downhill.

4. Slow down.

5. Squeeze the brake lever gradually.

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.
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.
