Stalling the ATV and/or Rolling Backwards:
Riding Your ATV
Basic Operation & Riding
What to do if the ATV stalls or rolls backwards when climbing a hill:
If you are about to lose all forward speed:
Using the front and rear brakes together, bring the ATV to a stop
with the vehicle pointed straight uphill.
Get off the ATV while you continue holding the brakes.
Shift into neutral, set the parking brake and turn the engine off.
Then assess the situation.
If the ATV starts rolling backwards before you begin braking:
If the ATV continues sliding backwards:
After you’ve applied the brakes, get off and away from the vehicle.
Keep your weight uphill.
Carefully apply the front brakes first, then carefully apply the
rear brake. Do not apply the rear brake only or abruptly if you
are rolling backwards, or the vehicle may overturn.
If you incorrectly estimate climbing capability or terrain conditions, the
ATV may not have enough power or traction to continue uphill. If this
happens, the ATV can stall and/or roll backwards.
