DRIVING UPHILL
Braking and handling are greatly affected when operating in hilly terrain.
Improper procedure could cause loss of control or rollover. Whenever traveling
uphill, 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. Drive straight uphill.
3. Avoid steep hills. Maximum incline is:
• 15° (Touring/X2)
• 25° (1–Up Models)
4. Always check the terrain carefully before ascending any hill.
5. Never climb hills with excessively slippery or loose surfaces.
6. Keep both feet on the footrests.
7. Shift body weight uphill. A passenger should also shift body weight uphill.
8. Proceed at a steady rate of speed and throttle opening. Opening the throttle
suddenly could cause the ATV to flip over backwards.
9. Never go over the top of any hill at high speed. An obstacle, a sharp drop, or
another vehicle or person could be on the other side of the hill.
10. Remain alert and be prepared to take emergency action. This may include
quick dismounting of the vehicle.
