If you start to roll backwards, DO NOT apply either

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

front brake. If you are in 4WD or 4WD-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.

WARNING

EWB01351

POTENTIAL HAZARD

Stalling, rolling backwards or improperly dis-

mounting while climbing a hill.

WHAT CAN HAPPEN

Could result in ATV overturning.

HOW TO AVOID THE HAZARD

Use the proper gear and maintain a steady

speed when climbing a hill.

If you lose all forward speed:

●

Keep weight uphill.

●

Apply the brakes.

●

Shift to the park position after you are

stopped.

If you begin rolling backwards:

●

Keep weight uphill.

●

2WD: Never apply the rear brake while roll-

ing backwards. Apply the front brake.

●

4WD or 4WD-LOCK: Apply both front and

rear brakes gradually.

●

When fully stopped, shift to the park posi-

tion.

Dismount on uphill side or to a side if point-

ed straight uphill. Turn the ATV around and

remount, following the procedure described

in the Owner’s Manual.
