 WARNING
Stalling, rolling backwards or
improperly dismounting the ATV
while climbing a hill can be haz-
ardous.
The ATV could overturn if you do
not climb a hill properly.
Maintain a steady speed when
climbing a hill. Always follow the
proper procedures for climbing
hills as described in this section.
You may start to climb a hill and may
be unable to make it to the top. If this
happens, use the correct procedure
described below to turn around to get
back down the hill.
If you still have forward movement
and enough space to turn around
safely, follow these instructions.
1. Turn around on the hill before you
lose forward speed. As you turn
on the side of the hill, lean your
body weight uphill.
2. Once you have turned around,
ride down the hill as described in
the Descending a Hill section.
If you lose forward movement, or
begin to roll backwards, follow these
instructions.
1. Lean farther forward, uphill.
2. Apply the front brake to stop the
ATV.
3. After the vehicle has stopped,
apply the rear brake as well as the
front brake.
4. Set the parking brake and dis-
mount to the left side while still
leaning uphill.
