Slow down or stop at the top Of a hill so you can pick a safe path for descent where you can clearly see far enough ahead to avoid any obstacles.
HAZARD
Going down a hill improperly.
WHAT CAN HAPPEN
Could cause loss Of control or cause ATV to overturn.
HOW TO AVOID THE HAZARD
Always follow proper procedures for going down hills as described in this manual. Note: a special technique is required when braking as you go down a hill. Always check the terrain carefully before you start down any hill. Shift your weight backward. Never go down a hill at high speed. Avoid going down a hill at an angle that would cause the vehicle to lean sharply to one side. GO straight down the hill where possible.
Normally you should descend straight down a hill, since riding at an angle could cause the vehicle to lean to one side and possibly tip over. Sit back on the seat and brace yourself by straightening your arms. Hold your speed down by keeping the throttle closed. Apply the brakes as necessary. Avoid excessive use of the front brake; it could cause the vehicle to overturn. Be careful if the surface is loose; the tires may skid and braking effectiveness will be reduced. Turning while descending a slope must be done very carefully and gradually to avoid tipping the vehicle over. You should keep your feet on the footpegs and transfer your weight to the rear of the vehicle, and on the uphill side of the vehicle.
