Safety Warnings

Stalling While Climbing a Hill

Stalling, rolling backwards or improperly dismounting while

climbing a hill could cause an overturn.
Always maintain a steady speed when climbing a hill.
If all forward speed is lost
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 the ATV begins rolling downhill: 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. See page 88.
