7 Use caution while descending a hill with loose or slippery surfaces. Braking ability and traction may be adversely affected by these surfaces. Improper braking may also cause a loss of traction. When this ATV is in "4WD", all wheels (front and rear) are interconnected by the drive train. This means that applying either the front brake or the rear brake will brake all wheels. When descending hills, using either brake lever or the brake pedal will brake the wheels on the downhill side. Avoid sudden application of either the front or rear brake because the wheels on the uphill side could come off the ground. Apply both the front and rear brakes gradually. Whenever possible, ride your ATV straight downhill. Avoid sharp angles which could allow the ATV to tip or roll over. Carefully choose your path and ride no faster than you will be able to react to obstacles which may appear. CROSSING A SLOPE EWB01632 WARNING Improperly crossing hills or turning on hills could cause loss of control or cause the ATV to overturn. G Always follow proper procedures as described in the Owner's Manual. G Avoid hills with excessively slippery or loose surfaces. G Avoid crossing the side of a steep hill. 7-17
