Parking on a Hill
This shouldn't be necessary, but if it is:
1.Keep it in gear.
2.Engage the brake lever lock.
3.Find something to block the rear tires.
Stalling on a Hill

engine damage due to water inges-
tion.

WARNING
Indicates a potential hazard that could
result in a serious injury or death.
CAUTION
1.Slow down.
2.Move forward on the seat.
3.Lean to inside of turn.
4.Turn handlebar.
Sometimes your ATV may not respond
and goes straight ahead instead of letting
you turn. Here's how to handle it:
3.Shift your weight forward.
If you lose control after hitting sand, ice,
mud, or water:
Skidding or Sliding
3.Backing down hills is a bad idea; do a
U-turn or K-turn instead to turn around.
2.Keep your handlebar straight.
1.Go slowly. It's hard to see behind you.
1.Turn your handlebar into the direction
of the slide.
2.Keep your hand off the brakes until
you're out of the skid.
If you use the right method for riding uphill,
this shouldn't happen. But if you have a pr-
oblem, do this:
1.If the ATV hasn't started rolling backw-
ards yet, follow the procedure for the
K-Turn, OR
2.If the ATV is already rolling backward,
lean as far forward as possible standi-
ng up on the footrests.
3.Nice and easy, apply the hand brake
lever.
4.When you come to a stop, follow the
procedure for the K-turn.
5.If the ATV continues to roll backward,
dismount immediately on the uphill side.
Crossing Water
Your ATV can only handle water up to its
footrests. Any more than that and you risk
engine damage and/or personal injury.
Stay away from fast moving rivers. ATV
tires can be buoyant, so if the water is too
deep, you might find the ATV suddenly
afloat.
