OPERATION

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 the vehicle. Keep your weight uphill.
2. Lock the parking brake. Leave the transmission in forward gear.

Turn the engine off.

3. Dismount on the uphill side of the vehicle, or on the left if the vehi-

cle is pointing straight uphill.

4. Staying uphill of the vehicle, turn the handlebars full left. Squeeze

the brake lever to release the parking brake.

5. Slowly release the brake lever and allow the vehicle to roll around

to your right until it's pointing across the hill or slightly downward.

6. Lock the parking brake. Remount from the uphill side. Keep your

weight uphill.

7. Apply the foot brake. Squeeze and release the brake lever to release

the parking brake.

8. Release the foot brake and drive slowly downhill. Control speed

with either the hand or foot brake until the vehicle is on level

ground.
