7-28
If your ATV has stalled or stopped and you be-
lieve you can continue up the hill, restart care-
fully 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, dis-
mount the ATV on the uphill side. Physically
turn the ATV 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 ATV is in 4WD,
all wheels (front and rear) are interconnected
by the drive train. This means that applying ei-
ther the front brake or the rear will brake all
wheels. When descending hills, using either
brake lever or the brake pedal will brake the
wheels on the downhill side. Avoid sudden ap-
plication of either the front or rear brake be-
cause the wheels on the uphill side could
come off the ground. The ATV could easily tip
over backwards. Apply both the front and rear
brakes gradually, or dismount the ATV imme-
diately on the uphill side.
WARNING
POTENTIAL HAZARD
Stalling, rolling backwards or improper-
ly dismounting while climbing a hill.
WHAT CAN HAPPEN

HOW TO AVOID THE HAZARD
Use proper gear and 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.
