Active Riding Riding Uphill Roughly 20% of accidents happen while riding on hills and as a result of the ATV rolling or fl ipping. So, obviously, use extreme caution and follow this method for riding uphill. 1. Accelerate before you start climbing; then maintain a steady pace. 2. Lean as far forward as possible. For steeper hills, come off your seat to stand and lean forward. 3. If you lose speed, quickly shift to a lower gear (in case of gear box). At the same time, release the throttle (so your front tires don’t lift), OR 4. If that doesn’t work and you still have forward motion and the ter- rain permits, do a U-turn, go back down, and try climbing again, OR 5.
If you have lost all forward motion, follow the K-turn procedure. ACTIVE RIDING ATV-0019 ATV-0032 ATV-0033 NEVER OPERATE UP OR DOWN HILLS STEEPER THAN 25°. MAXIMAL 41
