2. Always move the 4X4 switch to ADC 4X4 before ascending or

descending a hill. See page 31.

3. Lock the hydraulic parking brake.
4. Leave the transmission in forward gear. Turn the engine off.
5. A passenger should dismount first.The operator should dismount

last. Dismount on the uphill side, or on the left side if the vehicle is

pointed straight uphill.

6. Stay uphill of the vehicle and turn the handlebars full left.
7. Squeeze the brake lever to release the parking brake.
8. Slowly release the brake lever and allow the vehicle to roll around

to your right until it's pointing across the hill or slightly downward.
