Turning Around on a Hill
If the vehicle stalls while climbing a hill, never back it down the hill! One m aneuver that
can be used when it’s necessary to turn around while climbing a hill is the K-turn:
1. Keep your body weight uphill.
2. Pull in the clutch lever and apply the front and rear brakes.
3. When completely stopped, shut off the engine. Leaving the transmission in gear, release
the clutch lever and lock the park brake.
4. Dismount on the uphill side of the vehicle, or on the left side if the vehicle is pointing
straight uphill.
WARNING
Improper hill climbing procedures could cause loss of control or overturn and result in
serious injury or death. Avoid climbing steep hills (25_ maximum). Use extreme
caution when operating on hills, and follow proper operating procedures outlined in
the owner’s manual.
