Safety Warnings
Stalling While Climbing a Hill
Stalling, rolling backwards or improperly dismounting while climbing a
hill could cause an overturn.
Always maintain a steady speed when climbing a hill.
If all forward speed is lost
Keep body weight uphill. Apply the front brakes gradually (right
lever). When fully stopped, apply the foot brake as well, and then lock
the parking brake.
If the ATV begins rolling downhill:
Keep weight uphill. Never apply engine power. Never apply the rear
brake while rolling backwards. Apply the front brake slowly. When
fully stopped, apply the rear brake as well, and then lock the parking
brake. Dismount on uphill side, or to either side if ATV is pointed
straight uphill. Turn the ATV around and remount, following the
procedure described in the owner's manual. See page 76.
