Important Safeguards

Always block the wheels to prevent rolling.
• Always block the wheels on the downhill side of the ATV if leaving it
parked on a hill. Another option is to park the ATV in a sidehill posi-
tion.
• Never depend on the parking brake alone if the ATV is parked on a
hill. Always block the wheels to prevent rolling.
WARNING
Operating the ATV while the parking brake is engaged could result in an
accident and serious injury or death. Always check to be sure the parking
brake is disengaged before operating.
