If your ATV has stalled or stopped and you believe
7you can continue up the hill, restart carefully to make sure you do not lift the front wheels which could cause you to lose control. If you are unable to continue up the hill, dismount the ATV on the up- hill side. Physically turn the ATV around and then descend the hill.
If you start to roll backwards, DO NOT apply the rear brake to stop or try to put the ATV in gear. The ATV could easily tip over backwards. Instead, ap- ply the front brake gradually, or dismount the ATV immediately on the uphill side.

WARNING
POTENTIAL HAZARD
Stalling, rolling backwards or improperly dismounting while climbing a hill.
WHAT CAN HAPPEN
Could result in ATV overturning.
HOW TO AVOID THE HAZARD
Maintain a steady speed when climbing a hill. If you lose all forward speed:
●Keep weight uphill.
●Apply the brakes.
●Lock the parking brake after you are stopped.
If you begin rolling backwards:
●Keep weight uphill.
●Never apply the rear brake while rolling backwards. Apply the front brake.
●When fully stopped, apply the rear brake as well, and then lock the parking brake.
Dismount on uphill side or to a side if pointed straight uphill. Turn the ATV around and re- mount, following the procedure described in the Owner’s Manual.
