STALLING WHILE CLIMBING A HILL
Stalling, rolling backwards or improperly dismounting while climbing a hill could
cause a rollover.
• Always maintain a steady speed when climbing a hill.
• Always engage ADC mode (if equipped) before ascending or descending a
hill.
If all forward speed is lost:
• Lean forward to keep body weight uphill. A passenger should also lean uphill.
• Apply the brakes.
• Lock the parking brake when fully stopped.
• Dismount on the uphill side of the vehicle, or on the left if the vehicle is
pointing straight uphill. Have a passenger dismount first, then the operator
may dismount.
• Turn the ATV around and remount, following the procedure described in the
owner's manual.
If the ATV begins rolling downhill:
• Keep operator and passenger body weight uphill.
• Never apply engine power.
• Never apply the rear brake while rolling backwards. Apply the single-lever
brake gradually.
• When fully stopped, apply the rear brake as well, and then lock the parking
brake.
• Dismount on the uphill side of the vehicle, or on the left if the vehicle is
pointing straight uphill. Have a passenger dismount first, then the operator
may dismount.
• Turn the ATV around and remount, following the procedure described in the
owner's manual.
IMPROPER HILL CLIMBING
Improper hill climbing could cause loss of control or rollover. Always follow
proper procedures for climbing hills as described in the owner's manual. Always
engage ADC driveline mode (if equipped) before ascending or descending a hill.
