  • Page 108 Safe Operation - Driving Safely WARNING When driving downhill in reverse, gravity can increase the vehicle speed above the set limited reverse speed� Failure to use caution when operating in reverse can result in serious injury or death� NOTE: This vehicle is equipped with a reverse speed limiter function. In reverse operation, the engine RPM is limited, thus limiting the vehicle reverse speed.
  • Page 109 Safe Operation - Driving Safely Beware of slippery surfaces such as rocks, grass, logs, etc., both in the water and on its banks. A loss of traction may occur. Do not attempt to enter the water at high speed. Water will affect the braking ability of your vehicle.
  • Page 110 Safe Operation - Driving Safely Riding on Gravel, Loose Stones, or Other Slippery Surfaces Riding on gravel or loose stones is very similar to riding on ice. They affect the steering of vehicle, possibly causing it to slide and tip over especially at high speeds. In addition, braking distance may be affected. Remember that “gunning”...
  • Page 111 Safe Operation - Driving Safely Uphill Driving Use the low gear (  L   ) for uphill driving. Due to its configuration, this vehicle has very good traction even while climbing, so much so that tip-over is possible before traction is lost. For example, it is common to encounter terrain situations where the top of the hill has eroded to a point that the hill peak rises very sharply.
