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 the engine.
3. Dismount on the left or uphill side of the ATV.
4. Staying uphill of the ATV, turn handlebars full left (while facing front of ATV).
5. While holding the service brake, release parking brake lock and slowly allow the
ATV to roll around to your right until the ATV is pointing across the hill or slightly
downward.
6. Lock the parking brake and remount the 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 the 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.
