Owner's Manual

7-22

If your ATV has stalled or stopped and you believe

you can continue up the hill, restart carefully to

make sure you do not lift the front wheels which

could cause you to lose control. If you are unable

to continue up the hill, dismount the ATV on the up-

hill side. Physically turn the ATV around and then

descend the hill.

If you start to roll backwards, DO NOT apply either

brake abruptly. If you are in 2WD, apply only the

WD-LOCK, be-

cause all wheels are interconnected by the drive

train, applying either brake will brake all wheels,

therefore, avoid sudden application of either the

front or rear brake as the wheels on the uphill side

could come off the ground. The ATV could easily

tip over backwards. Apply both the front and rear

brakes gradually, or dismount the ATV immediate-

ly on the uphill side.
