Turning Around on a Hill
1. Stop the vehicle 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.
NOTE: If a passenger is on board, ask the passenger to dismount
first, then the operator may dismount.
4. Staying uphill of the vehicle, turn the handlebars full left.
5. While holding the service brake, 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 downward.
6. Lock the parking brake and remount the vehicle from the uphill
side, keeping body weight uphill.
7. Restart the engine with the transmission still in forward.
8. Release the parking brake and proceed slowly, controlling speed
with the service brake, until the vehicle is on more level ground.
NOTE: A passenger should not remount until the vehicle returns to
firm, level ground.
