Always go slowly and be extra careful when operating on unfamiliar terrain. Always be alert
to changing terrain conditions when operating this vehicle. Always keep in mind that you are
carrying a passenger.
Never operate on excessively rough, slippery or loose terrain until you have learned and
practiced the skills necessary to control this vehicle on such terrain. 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 Operator'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 vehi-
cle.
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 exces-
sively 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 vehicle. Never attempt to turn the vehicle around
on any hill until you have mastered 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 climbing 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 fur-
ther in this Operator's Guide.
