If Your ATV Stops on a Hill

If you lose all forward momentum while climbing a hill:

• Keep your weight forward. Apply the brakes. Do not let the ATV roll backward.
• Set the parking brake while keeping your weight forward.
• Dismount on the uphill side of the ATV.
• Shift the ATV into neutral, and turn off the engine.
• Hold the front brake, and disengage the parking brake.
• Turn the handlebars sharply toward the middle of the hill.
• Slowly release the front brake until the ATV is parallel with the side of the hill.
• Set the parking brake, and start the engine.
• Mount the ATV from the uphill side, keeping your weight uphill.
• Point the front wheels downhill, and disengage the parking brake.
• Slowly ride downhill, shifting your weight to the rear of the ATV.
