Owner's manual

• Always follow proper procedures for traveling down hills as described in the

owner's manual.

NOTE

A special technique is required when braking while traveling downhill. See the

Driving Downhill section.

• Always descend a hill with the transmission in forward gear. Do not descend a

hill with the transmission in neutral. Always move the 4X4 switch to 4WDC (if

equipped) before ascending or descending a hill.

• Always check the terrain carefully before descending a hill.

• Shift your weight rearward.

• Never travel down a hill at high speed.

• Avoid traveling down a hill at an angle, which would cause the vehicle to lean

sharply to one side. Travel straight down the hill when possible.

CROSSING HILLSIDES

Driving on a sidehill is not recommended.

Improper procedure could cause loss of

control or overturn. Avoid crossing the side of

any hill unless absolutely necessary. Always

move the AWD switch to ADC (if equipped)

before ascending or descending a hill. If

crossing a hillside is unavoidable, always

follow proper procedures as described in the

owner’s manual. Never attempt to turn the

ATV around on any hill until you’ve mastered

the turning technique (on level ground) as

described in the owner’s manual.

OPERATING OVER OBSTACLES

Improperly operating over obstacles could

cause loss of control or rollover. Before

operating in a new area, check for obstacles.

Avoid operating over large obstacles such as

rocks and fallen trees. If unavoidable, use

extreme caution and always follow proper

operating procedures as outlined in this

manual.
