Driving in reverse
If you need to ride in reverse, make sure the area behind you is
clear and only operate the ATV at low speed.
Do not use the override switch unless additional wheel speed is
required for vehicle movement. Use the override with caution as
rearward vehicle speed is greatly increased. Do not operate at
wide open throttle. Operate the throttle just enough to maintain a
desired speed.
To reverse, follow the following procedure
:
1. Always check for obstacles or people behind the vehicle
,
be
sure there are no obstacles or people in the way.
2. Press the brake to change the shifter to "R".
Turning around on a hill (k-turn)
If the vehicle stalls while climbing a hill, never back it down the hill!
Use the K- turn to turn around.
1. Stop and lock the parking brake while keeping body weight
uphill.
2. Leave the transmission in forward and shut off the engine.
3. Dismount on the uphill side of the vehicle, or on the left if the
vehicle is pointing straight uphill. Staying uphill of the vehicle,
turn the handlebars full left.
4. While holding the brake lever, release the parking brake lock
and slowly allow the vehicle to roll around to your right until
it's pointing across the hill or slightly downwards.
5. Lock the parking brake. Remount the vehicle from the uphill
side, keeping body weight uphill. Start the engine with the
transmission still in forward.
6. Keep the transmission in forward and start the engine.
