1. Accelerate before you start climb-
ing; then maintain a steady pace.
2. Both the operator and the passenger
should lean as far forward as possi-
ble. For steeper hills, the operator
should come off the seat to stand and
lean forward.
3. If you lose speed, release the throttle
(so your front tires don't lift), OR
4. If that doesn't work and you still
have forward motion and the terrain
permits, do a U-turn, go back down,
and try climbing again, OR
5. If you have lost all forward motion,
follow the K-turn procedure.
