OPERATION
Turning Around on a Hill (K-Turn)
If the vehicle stalls while climbing a hill, never back it down the hill!
Use the K-turn to turn around.
1. Stop the vehicle. Keep your weight uphill.
2. Always move the 4X4 switch to 4WDC before ascending or
descending a hill. See page 42.
3. Lock the hydraulic parking brake.
4. Leave the transmission in forward gear. Turn the engine off.
5. If a passenger is on board, ask the passenger to dismount first, then
the operator may dismount. Dismount on the uphill side of the
vehicle, or on the left if the vehicle is pointing straight uphill.
A
passenger should not remount until the vehicle returns to firm, level
ground.
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.
