Safety Warnings

Stalling While Climbing a Hill

Stalling or rolling backwards while climbing a hill
could cause a rollover. Maintain a steady speed
when climbing a hill.
If you lose all forward speed:
Apply the brakes gradually until the vehicle is
fully stopped. Place the transmission in reverse
and slowly allow the vehicle to roll straight
downhill while applying light brake pressure to
control speed.

Crossing Hillsides

Driving on a sidehill is not recommended.
Improper procedure could cause loss of control
or rollover. Avoid crossing the side of any hill
unless absolutely necessary.
If crossing a hillside is unavoidable, always follow proper procedures as
described in this owner's manual. See page 47.

Operating in Unfamiliar Terrain

Failure to use extra caution when operating
on unfamiliar terrain could result in an
accident or rollover.
Unfamiliar terrain may contain hidden rocks,
bumps, or holes that could cause loss of
control or rollover.
Travel slowly and use extra caution when
operating on unfamiliar terrain. Always be
alert to changing terrain conditions.
