KYMCO 2006 MXU 500 Off-Road Owner's Manual page 111

If your ATV has stalled or stopped and you
believe you can continue up the hill, restart
carefully to make sure you do not lift the front
wheels which could cause you to lose control. If
you are unable to continue up the hill, dismount
the ATV on the uphill side. Physically turn the
ATV around and then descend the hill.
If you start to roll backwards, DO NOT apply
either brake abruptly. If you are in 2WD, apply
only the front brake. When this ATV is in 4WD,
all wheels (front and rear) are interconnected by
the drive train. This means that applying either
the front brake or the rear brake will brake all
wheels. When descending hills, using either
brake lever or the brake pedal will brake the
wheels on the downhill side. Avoid sudden
application of either the front or rear brake
because the wheels on the uphill side could
come off the ground. The ATV would easily tip
over backwards. Apply both the front and rear
brakes gradually, or dismount the ATV
immediately on the uphill side.
POTENTIAL HAZARD
Stalling, rolling backwards or improperly
dismounting while climbing a hill.
WHAT CAN HAPPEN
Could result in ATV overturning.
HOW TO AVOID THE HAZARD
Use proper gear and maintain steady speed
when climbing a hill.
If you lose all forward speed:
Keep weight uphill.
Apply the brakes.
Shift to the parking position "P" after you
are stopped.
