BOMBARDIER outlander max series Operator's Manual page 55

Uphill
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 dis-
tance may be affected when riding with a passenger.
If you decide to keep your passenger, he must synchronize his movements with yours.
Operator and passenger must keep their 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. 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.
