  • Page 44: Design Limitation

    Design Limitation Although the vehicle is exceptionally rugged for its class, it is still a light vehicle by definition and its operation must be restricted to its proper purpose. The addition of weight to any part of the vehicle changes its gravitational stability and modifies its performance.
  • Page 45: Downhill Driving

    It is also wise to know the terrain condition on the other side of the hill or bank. All too often there exists a sharp drop-off that is impossible to negotiate or descend. Downhill Driving This vehicle can climb slopes that are steeper than it can safely descend. There- fore, it is essential to assure that a safe route exists to descend a slope before you climb it.
  • Page 46 V00A0UL Even though there is an adequate suspensions system on this vehicle there are “washboard” or rough terrain conditions that will make you feel uncomfortable and even cause back injury. “Posting“ or riding in a crouched position will often be required.

  • Page 48 When riding in sand dunes it is advisable to equip the vehicle with an antenna type safety flag. This will help make your location more visible to others over the next sand dune . Proceed carefully should you see another safety flag ahead. Since the antenna type safety flag can snag and rebound on your body if caught, do not use it in areas where there are low hanging branches or obstacles.
  • Page 49 Uphill Keep your body weight forward towards the top of the hill. Keep your feet on the footpegs 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.
