KYMCO Mongoose 90 R, Owner'S Manual

Page: 89 / 160

If your ATV 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 ATV on the uphill side. Physically turn the
ATV around and then descend the hill.
If you start to roll backwards, DO NOT use the
rear brake to stop. The ATV could easily tip over
backwards. Instead, dismount the ATV
immediately on the uphill side.
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 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 the rear brake while rolling
backwards.
Apply the front brake.
