12. RIDING
Turning Around On A Hill
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
parking brake, and proceed slowly, controlling speed with the
service brake, until ATV is on reasonably level ground.
WARNING
Avoid climbing steep hills. Loss of vehicle control or overturning
of the ATV could occur resulting in severe injury or death.
