Driving Uphill - Polaris Scrambler 1000 Owner's Manual

Driving Uphill

If all forward speed is lost:
1. Keep your weight uphill. A passenger should also lean uphill.
2. If the vehicle begins rolling downhill, never apply engine power.
Never apply the brakes aggressively while rolling backwards.
3. Apply the brakes gradually. When fully stopped, lock the hydraulic
parking brake.
4. Dismount on the uphill side, or on the left side if the vehicle is
pointed straight uphill. Have a passenger dismount first, then the
operator may dismount.
5. Use the K-turn to turn around. See page 78.
Always follow the procedures outlined in this
manual for braking if you stall or roll
backwards while climbing a hill. Never back
down a hill.
