RIDING
Backing Up
Backing Up
1. Whenever backing up, always avoid backing downhill.
2. Back slowly.
3. When in reverse, apply the brakes lightly for stopping.
4. Avoid turning at sharp angles in reverse.
5. Never open the throttle suddenly while backing.
6. Never activate override button while throttle is open. Loss of control may result.
NOTE: This vehicle is equipped with a reverse speed limiter. The override button
should be used with caution as rearward vehicle speed is greatly increased. Do
not operate at wide open throttle. Only open the throttle enough to maintain a de-
sired speed. Opening the throttle more than required may cause excessive fuel
to build in the exhaust, resulting in engine popping and/or engine damage.
WARNING
Backing your ATV can be dangerous! You could hit an obstacle or person
behind you; or the ATV could tip over rearward on a steep incline.
D
Always back slowly, avoiding excessive speed; and do not use the
reverse speed override switch system unless additional power is
required for vehicle movement.
D Avoid backing on steep inclines.
