7-28

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, 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 use the
rear brake to stop or try to put the ATV in gear.
The ATV could easily tip over backwards. In-
stead, dismount the ATV immediately on the
uphill side.

WARNING

POTENTIAL HAZARD 
Stalling, rolling backwards or improper-
ly dismounting while climbing a hill. 
WHAT CAN HAPPEN 
Could result in the ATV overturning. 
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 the parking brake after you are
stopped.

If you begin rolling backwards: 

Keep weight uphill. 
Never apply the rear brake while roll-
ing backwards. 
Apply the front brake. 
When fully stopped, apply the rear
brake as well, and then lock the park-
ing brake.
