WARNING
POTENTIAL HAZARD
Stalling or rolling backwards while climbing a hill.
WHAT CAN HAPPEN
Stalling or rolling while climbing a hill could result in vehicle
overturn.
HOW TO AVOID THE HAZARD
Maintain steady speed when climbing a hill.
If you lose all forward speed:
Keep your body weight toward the front of the vehicle (uphill).
Apply the brakes. After the vehicle has completely stopped, lock
the parking brake.
If you begin rolling backwards:
Keep your body weight toward the front of the vehicle (uphill).
Do not apply engine power.
Do not apply the rear brakes.
Gradually apply the service brake. When fully stopped, apply the
auxiliary brake as well, and then lock the parking brake.
Dismount on the uphill side, or to either side if the vehicle is
pointed straight uphill.
Turn the vehicle around and remount, following the procedure
described in the owner's manual. See page 59. In the event of
an accident, have an authorized Polaris dealer inspect the entire
vehicle for possible damage, including (but not limited to) brakes,
throttle and steering.
