If your AT V has stalled or stopped and you believe

you 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 AT V on the

uphill side. Physically turn the AT V around and

then descend the hill.

If you start to roll backwards, DO NOT apply

either brake abruptly. If you are in 2WD, apply

only the front brake. When this AT V is in 4WD,

all wheels (front and rear) are interconnected by

the drive train. This means that applying either the

front brake or the rear brake will brake all wheels.

When descending hills, using either brake lever or

the brake pedal will brake the wheels on the down-

hill side. Avoid sudden application of either the

front or rear brake because the wheels on the up-

hill side could come off the ground. The AT V

could easily tip over backwards. Apply both the

front and rear brakes gradually, or dismount the

AT V immediately on the uphill side.

POTENTIAL HAZARD

Stalling, rolling backwards or improperly

dismounting while climbing a hill.

W H AT CAN HAPPEN

Could result in AT V overturning.

H O W TO AV OID THE HAZARD

Maintain steady speed when climbing a hill.

If you lose all forward speed:

Keep weight uphill.

Apply the brakes.

Apply the parking brake after you are

stopped.
