handlebars full left (while facing front of ATV).
5. While holding brake lever down, release parking brake lock and slowly allow
ATV to roll around to your right until ATV is pointing across the hill or slightly
downward.
6. Lock the parking brake and remount ATV from the uphill side, maintaining body
weight uphill.
7. Restart engine with transmission still in forward, release the parking brake, and
proceed slowly, controlling speed with the brake lever, until ATV is on
reasonably level ground.
