Stalling While Climbing a Hill

Stalling, rolling backwards or improperly dismounting while climbing a hill could cause an overturn. Always maintain a steady speed when climbing a hill. If you lose all forward speed: Keep your weight uphill. Apply the brake lever gradually. When fully stopped, lock the parking brake.

If the ATV begins rolling downhill: Keep weight uphill. Never apply engine power. Never apply the foot brake while rolling backwards. Apply the hand brake lever slowly. When fully stopped, lock the parking brake. Dismount on uphill side, or to either side if pointed straight uphill. Turn the ATV around and remount, following the procedure described in the Owner’s Manual. See Turning Around on a Hill for details.
