Operating on Hills
Climbing hills improperly can cause loss of control or vehicle
overturn. Always check the terrain carefully before climbing a hill.
Never climb hills with excessively slippery or loose surfaces.
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.
When traveling uphill:
1. Drive straight uphill.
2. Avoid steep hills.
3. Keep both feet on the floor.
4. Proceed at a steady rate of speed and throttle opening.
Traveling downhill improperly could cause loss of control or vehicle
overturn. Always check the terrain carefully before descending a
hill.
Never descend a hill at high speed. Excessive speed may result in
loss of vehicle control and lead to serious injury or death.
Avoid descending a hill at an angle, which would cause the vehicle
to lean sharply to one side. Travel straight downhill when possible.
When descending a hill:
1. Drive directly downhill.
2. Slow down.
3. Apply the brakes lightly to aid in slowing.
