Driver Warnings
POTENTIAL HAZARD
Stalling, rolling backwards or improperly dismounting while climb-
ing a hill.
WHAT CAN HAPPEN: The ATV could overturn and cause injury.
HOW TO AVOID THE HAZARD: Maintain steady speed when
climbing a hill.
If you lose all forward speed: Keep your weight uphill. Apply the
front brakes gradually (right lever). When fully stopped, apply the
rear brake as well (left lever) and then lock the parking brake.
If you begin rolling backwards: Keep weight uphill. Never apply engine power. Never apply the rear
brake while rolling backwards. Apply the front brake slowly. When fully stopped, apply rear brake as
well, and then lock the parking brake. Dismount on uphill side, or to either side if pointed straight
uphill. Turn the ATV around and remount, following the procedure described in the Owner's Manual.
