If your ATV has stalled or stopped and you
believe you can continue up the hill, restart care-
fully to make sure you do not lift the front wheels
which could cause you to lose control. If you are
unable to continue up the hill, dismount the ATV
on the uphill side. Physically turn the ATV
around and then descend the hill.
If you start to roll backwards, DO NOT use the
rear brake to stop or try to put the ATV in gear.
The ATV could easily tip over backwards.
Instead, apply the front brake gradually, or dis-
mount the ATV immediately on the uphill side.
