Riding in Reverse
7. To stop, close the throttle and gradually apply both the front and rear
brakes. Do not abruptly apply the rear brake by itself.
8. To shift out of reverse and into neutral, shift the shift lever into ''N''
(Neutral) gear.
Applying only the rear brake abruptly when
operating in reverse gear could cause the front
wheels to lift off the ground and the ATV could
overturn backwards.
Carefully apply both the front and rear brakes
when stopping in reverse gear.
