If the hill is not too steep and you have good footing, you may be able
to walk the FOURTRAX back down the hill. Make sure your intended
path is clear in case you lose control of the FOURTRAX.
If you decide you can walk the FOURTRAX safely:
1. Stand with your body facing downhill, beside the vehicle so you
can reach the rear brake lever with your right hand (see Figure
3-14 ).
2. Be sure your legs are clear of the wheels.
3. Check your footing.
4. Then slowly and carefully back the FOURTRAX down the hill using
the rear brake lever to control speed.
5. If you lose control of the FOURTRAX, for your safety, get away
from the vehicle.
If the hill is too steep or too slippery, or if you have any doubt whether
you can safely walk the FOURTRAX back down the hill, leave the
vehicle where it is and get help. If possible, block the wheels so the
vehicle won't roll backwards.
Fig. 3-14 Be sure your legs are
clear of the wheels.
