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
engage ADC mode (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.
DESCENDING HILLS IMPROPERLY
Improperly descending a hill could cause loss of control or rollover.
• 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 select ADC
driveline mode (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.
