Parking; Dismounting Your Atv; How To Handle The Atv (Active Riding Techniques) - KYMCO MXU 450i Owner's Manual

ACTIVE RIDING
Always shift the transmission into LOW range when
operating on wet or uneven terrain, when towing or
pushing heavy loads, or when using a plow. Failure to
follow this caution may result in premature V-belt fail-
ure or other damage to the drive system.
3. To engage reverse gear from neutral, move the shift lever
forward, outward and back to the "R" position.
Never shift the transmission while your ATV is in mo-
tion. Should your ATV be on a surface that is not level,
engage the parking brake (brake lever lock) before shift-
ing into another transmission range or into reverse.
Do not start the engine or operate your ATV with the
clutch shield removed. Severe injury could result.

well as the following guidelines:

on a hill, shift the ATV's transmission into low gear.
