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
If you lose all forward speed: Keep your weight uphill. Apply the
front brakes gradually (right lever). When fully stopped, apply the
rear brake as well (left lever) 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 rear brake as well, and then lock the parking brake.
Dismount on uphill side, or to either side if pointed straight uphill.
Turn the ATV around and remount, following the procedure
described in the Owner's Manual. See page 86.
