OPERATION WARNINGS
POTENTIAL HAZARD
Stalling, rolling backwards or improperly dismount-
ing while climbing a hill.
WHAT CAN HAPPEN Could result in ATV overturn-
ing.
HOW TO AVOID THE HAZARD
Maintain steady speed when climbing a hill.
If you lose all forward speed: Keep weight uphill.
Apply the brakes. Lock parking brake after you are stopped.
If you begin rolling backwards: Keep weight uphill; never apply engine power.
Never apply the rear brake while rolling backwards. Apply the front brake slowly
by squeezing the RH lever. When fully stopped, apply rear brake as well, and
then lock parking brake. Dismount on uphill side, or to either side if pointed
straight uphill. Turn the ATV around and remount, following the procedure de-
scribed in the Owner’s Manual. See page 96.
