RIDING
Turning Around On A Hill
8’
Uphill
If the ATV stalls while climbing a hill, never back it down the
hill! One maneuver which can be used when it is necessary
to turn around while climbing a hill is the K-turn.
1. Stop and lock the parking brake while maintaining body weight
uphill.
2. Leave transmission in forward and shut off engine.
3. Dismount on left or uphill side of ATV.
4. Staying uphill of ATV, turn handlebars full left (while facing front
of ATV).
5. While holding service brake, release parking brake lock and
slowly allow ATV to roll around to your right until ATV is pointing
across the hill or slightly downward.
6. Lock the parking brake and remount ATV from the uphill side,
maintaining body weight uphill.
7. Restart engine with transmission still in forward, release park-
ing brake, and proceed slowly, controlling speed with the ser-
vice brake, until ATV is on reasonably level ground.
Avoid climbing steep hills. Loss of vehicle control or over-
turning of the ATV could occur resulting in severe injury or
death.
