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 t ransmission 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.
Avoid climbing steep hills. Loss of vehicle control or overturning of
the ATV could occur resulting in severe injury or death.
