RIDING THE VEHICLE
Decelerating while negotiating a slippery downhill slope could "toboggan" the
vehicle. Maintain steady speed and/or accelerate slightly to regain control. Try
to avoid steep inclines. If you're not careful, you could tip over when going down
hills.

The operator is responsible for the safety of the passenger; in doubt, disembark
the passenger before proceeding.
Always remember that the vehicle handling, stability and braking distance may be
affected when riding with a passenger.
The passenger must synchronize his movements with the operator. The passen-
ger must remain seated at all times.
Operator and passenger must keep their body weight rearwards. Apply the brake
gradually to prevent skidding. Do not "coast" down the slope using solely engine
compression or in neutral gear. Try to avoid steep inclines. If you're not careful,
you could tip over when going down hills.
Vehicle Behaviors
This vehicle can climb slopes that are steeper than it can safely descend. There-
fore, it is essential to ensure that a safe route exists to descend a slope before you
climb it.
Side Hilling
This is one of the most risky types of riding since it may drastically change the bal-
ance of the vehicle. It should be avoided whenever possible. However, if it is nec-
essary to do so , it is important that you ALWAYS keep your body weight on the up-
side of the slope and be prepared to dismount on that side should the vehicle begin
to topple.
Avoid all objects or depressions that will intensify the raising of one side of the ve-
hicle higher than the other, thus causing rollover.
