WARNING

EWB01600

Never attempt to turn the ATV around on any
hill until you have mastered the turning tech-
nique as described in the Owner’s Manual on
level ground. Be very careful when turning on
any hill. Avoid crossing the side of a steep hill
if possible.
When crossing the side of a hill:

●

Always follow proper procedures as de-
scribed in the Owner’s Manual.

●

Avoid hills with excessively slippery or loose
surfaces.

●

Shift your weight to the uphill side of the
ATV.

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 up-
hill side. Physically turn the ATV around and then
descend the hill.
If you start to roll backwards, DO NOT apply the
brake pedal to stop or try to put the ATV in gear.
The ATV could easily tip over backwards. Instead,
apply the front brake gradually, or dismount the
ATV immediately on the uphill side.
