OPERATION
DRIVING OVER OBSTACLES
Follow these precautions when operating over obstacles:
• Always check for obstacles before operating in a new area.
• Look ahead and learn to read the terrain. Be constantly alert for hazards such
as logs, rocks and low hanging branches.
• Travel slowly and use extra caution when operating on unfamiliar terrain. Not
all obstacles are immediately visible.
• Move the gear selector to Low Gear, if needed.
• Avoid operating over large obstacles such as large rocks and fallen trees. If
unavoidable, use extreme caution and operate slowly.
• Always have all passengers dismount and move away from the vehicle before
operating over an obstacle that could cause a rollover.
DRIVING UPHILL
Whenever traveling uphill, follow these precautions:
• Avoid excessively steep hills.
• ADC Models: Always operate in low gear and engage ADC 4X4 before
ascending or descending a hill.
• Always travel straight uphill.
• Keep both feet on the floor.
• Always check the terrain carefully before ascending any hill. Never climb hills
with excessively slippery or loose surfaces.
• Proceed at a steady rate of speed and throttle opening. Never open the
throttle suddenly.
• Never go over the crest of a hill at high speed. An obstacle, a sharp drop, or
another vehicle or person could be on the other side of the hill.
