Climbing Uphill - Yamaha Raptor 700 Owner's Manual

CLIMBING UPHILL

Use proper riding techniques to avoid vehicle
overturns on hills. Be sure that you can maneu-
ver your ATV well on flat ground before attempt-
ing any incline and then practice riding first on
gentle slopes. Try more difficult climbs only after
you have developed your skill. In all cases avoid
inclines with slippery or loose surfaces, or obsta-
cles that might cause you to lose control.
w
Never operate the ATV on hills too steep for
the ATV or for your abilities. The vehicle can
overturn more easily on extremely steep hills
than on level surfaces or small hills. Practice
on smaller hills before attempting large hills.
