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 pas-
senger.
If you decide to keep your passenger, the passenger must synchronize its move-
ments with yours.
Keep your body weight forward towards the top of the hill. Keep your feet on
the footrests and shift into low gear then accelerate and when necessary, change
gear quickly as you climb. Do not over-speed since this may cause the front of
the vehicle to lift from the ground and fall back on you. If the hill is too steep
and you cannot proceed or the vehicle begins to roll backwards, apply the brake,
being careful not to slide. Dismount, passenger first, then use the "U" turn or
"K" turn (while walking back, next to the vehicle on the up hill side and with a
hand on the brake lever, slowly back the rear of the vehicle toward the top of
the hill then drive downhill). Always walk or dismount on the upside of the slope
while keeping clear of the vehicle and its rotating wheels. Do not try to hold on to
the vehicle if it begins to topple. Stay clear. Do not ride over the crest of the hill
at high speed. Obstacles, including sharp drop-offs, may exist. The passenger
should get on the vehicle only when the vehicle has returned to a safe location.
