Never operate on excessively rough, slippery or loose terrain until you have
learned and practiced the skills necessary to control this vehicle on such ter-
rain. Always be especially cautious on these kinds of terrain. Always keep in
mind that you are carrying a passenger.
Always follow proper procedures for turning as described further in this Oper-
ator's Guide. Practice turning at low speeds before attempting to turn at faster
speeds. Do not turn at excessive speed. Carrying a passenger may affect the
stability and the handling of the vehicle.
Never operate this vehicle on hills too steep for the vehicle or for your abilities.
Do not forget, the operator is responsible for the safety of the passenger. In
doubt, disembark him before climbing hill. Always remember that the vehicle
handling, stability and braking distance may be affected when riding with a
passenger.
Always follow proper procedures for climbing hills as described further in this
Operator's Guide. Check the terrain carefully before you start up any hill.
Never climb hills with excessively slippery or loose surfaces. Shift operator
and passenger weight forward. Never open the throttle suddenly or make
sudden gear changes. Never go over the top of any hill at high speed. Always
keep in mind that you are carrying a passenger.
Always follow proper procedures for going down hills and for braking on hills as
described further in this Operator's Guide. Check the terrain carefully before
you start down any hill. Shift operator and passenger weight backward. Never
go down a hill at high speed. Avoid going down a hill at an angle that would
cause the vehicle to lean sharply to one side. Go straight down the hill where
possible. Always keep in mind that you are carrying a passenger.
Always follow proper procedures for crossing the side of a hill as described
further in this Operator's Guide. Avoid hills with excessively slippery or loose
surfaces. Shift operator and passenger weight to the uphill side of the vehi-
cle. Never attempt to turn the vehicle around on any hill until you have mas-
tered the turning technique described in this Operator's Guide on level ground.
Avoid crossing the side of a steep hill if possible. Always keep in mind that
you are carrying a passenger.
Always use proper procedures if you stall or roll backwards when climbing a
hill. To avoid stalling, use proper gear and maintain a steady speed when climb-
ing a hill. If you stall or roll backwards, follow the special procedure for braking
described in this Operator's Guide. First, disembark the passenger then the
operator. Dismount on the uphill side or to a side if pointed straight uphill. Turn
the vehicle around and remount, following the procedure described further in
this Operator's Guide.
Always check for obstacles before operating in a new area. Never attempt to
operate over large obstacles, such as large rocks or fallen trees. Always follow
proper procedures when operating over obstacles as described further in this
Operator's Guide. Do not forget, the operator is responsible for the safety of
the passenger. In doubt, disembark him to get through the obstacles.
