Uphill
If the ATV stalls while climbing a hill, never back it down the hill! One
maneuver which can be used when it is necessary to turn around
while climbing a hill is the K-turn.
1. Stop and lock the parking brake while maintaining body weight uphill.
2. Leave transmission in forward and shut off engine.
3. Dismount on left or uphill side of ATV.
4. Staying uphill of ATV, turn handlebars full left (while facing front of ATV).
5. While holding service brake, release parking brake lock and slowly allow ATV
to roll around to your right until ATV is pointing across the hill or slightly down-
ward.
6. Lock the parking brake and remount ATV from the uphill side, maintaining body
weight uphill.
7. Restart engine with transmission still in forward, release parking brake, and
proceed slowly, controlling speed with the service brake, until ATV is on rea-
sonably level ground.
WARNING
Avoid climbing steep hills.
Loss of vehicle control or overturning of the ATV could occur.
