OPERATION
Driving Downhill
When driving downhill, follow these precautions:
1. Always move the 4X4 switch to ADC 4X4 (if equipped) before
ascending or descending a hill. See page 47. Never operate in
TURF mode while operating on a hill or other irregular terrain.
2. Avoid steep hills. Maximum
incline is:
15° (Touring/X2)
25° (1-up Models)
3. Always check the terrain
carefully before descending a
hill.
4. Always descend a hill with
the transmission in forward
gear. Do not descend a hill
with the transmission in
neutral.
5. Slow down. Never travel
down a hill at high speed.
6. Drive straight downhill.
Avoid traveling down a hill at
an angle, which would cause
the vehicle to lean sharply to
one side.
7. Shift body weight uphill. A
passenger should also shift
body weight uphill.
8. Apply the brakes slightly to
aid in slowing. Applying the
brakes too firmly may cause
the rear wheels to lock,
which could result in loss of
control.
Touring/X2
15° Maximum
1-Up ATVs
