SAFETY Operator Safety WARNING POTENTIAL HAZARD Stalling, rolling backwards or improperly dismounting while climbing a hill. WHAT CAN HAPPEN The vehicle could overturn. HOW TO AVOID THE HAZARD Maintain steady speed when climbing a hill. If your ATV is equipped with Active Descent Control, always engage AWD before ascending a hill. See page 43. If all forward speed is lost: Keep your weight uphill. Apply the brakes. Lock the parking brake when fully stopped. If the ATV begins rolling backwards: Keep 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 uphill side, or to either side if ATV is pointed straight uphill. Turn the ATV around and remount, following the procedure described in the owner's manual. See page 64. 28
