could be injured.
• Always keep both hands on the steering wheel when driving.
• Always go slowly and be careful when operating on unfamiliar
terrain. Always be alert to changing terrain conditions when
driving the vehicle.
• Never wrap your thumbs and fingers around the steering
wheel. This is particularly important when driving in rough
terrain. The front wheels will move right and left as they
respond to the terrain, and this movement will be felt in the
steering wheel. A sudden jolt could wrench the steering
wheel around, and your thumbs or fingers could be injured if
they are in the way of the steering wheel spokes.
• Never turn at excessive speed. Practice turning at slow
speeds before attempting to turn at faster speeds. Do not
attempt turns on steep inclines.
• Always follow proper procedures for going uphill. If you lose
control and cannot continue up a hill, back down the hill with
the engine in reverse gear. Use engine braking to help you go
slowly. If necessary, use the brakes gradually to help you go
slowly.
• Never operate the vehicle on hills that are too steep. Go
straight up and down hills where possible.
• Never operate the vehicle in fast flowing water or water
deeper than the floorboards on this model. Remember that
wet brakes may have reduced stopping ability. Test your
brakes after leaving water. If necessary, apply the brake
several times to let friction dry out the linings.
• Always be sure there are no obstacles or people are behind
you when you operate in reverse. When it is safe to proceed
in reverse, go slowly.
• Always check terrain before going down hills. Go as slowly as
possible. Never go down a hill at high speed.
