Yamaha KODIAK ULTRAMATIC YFM400FA Manuel Du Propriétaire page 44

Always follow proper procedures for cross-
ing the side of a hill as described in this
manual. Avoid hills with excessively slip-
pery or loose surfaces. Shift your weight to
the uphill side of the ATV. Never attempt to
turn the ATV around on any hill until you
have mastered the turning technique de-
scribed in this manual on level ground.
Avoid crossing the side of a steep hill if pos-
sible.
Always use proper procedures if you stall or
roll backwards when climbing a hill. To
avoid stalling, use proper gear range and
maintain a steady speed when climbing a
hill. If you stall or roll backwards, follow the
special procedure for braking described in
this manual. Dismount on the uphill side or
to a side if pointed straight uphill. Turn the
ATV around and remount, following the
procedure described in this manual.
