OPERATION
Turning Around on a Hill (K-Turn)
If the vehicle stalls while climbing a hill, never back it down the hill!
Use the K-turn to turn around.
1. Stop the vehicle. Keep your weight uphill.
2. Always move the 4X4 switch to ADC 4X4 before ascending or
descending a hill. See page 30.
3. Lock the hydraulic parking brake.
4. Leave the transmission in forward gear. Turn the engine off.
5. Dismount on the uphill side, or on the left side if the vehicle is
pointed straight uphill.
6. Stay uphill of the vehicle and turn the handlebars full left.
7. Squeeze the brake lever to release the parking brake.
8. Slowly release the brake lever and allow the vehicle to roll around
to your right until it's pointing across the hill or slightly downward.
