– Always follow proper procedures for turning as described further in
this Operator's Guide. Practice turning at low speeds before at-
tempting to turn at faster speeds. Do not turn at excessive speed.
– Never operate this vehicle on hills too steep for the vehicle or for
your abilities. Practice on smaller hills before attempting larger
hills.
– Always follow proper procedures for climbing hills as described fur-
ther in this Operator's Guide. Check the terrain carefully before
you start up any hill. Never climb hills with excessively slippery or
loose surfaces. Shift your weight forward. Never open the throttle
suddenly or make sudden gear changes. Never go over the top of
any hill at high speed.
– Always follow proper procedures for going down hills and for brak-
ing on hills as described further in this Operator's Guide. Check the
terrain carefully before you start down any hill. Shift your weight
backward. Never go down a hill at high speed. Avoid going down a
hill at an angle that would cause the vehicle to lean sharply to one
side. Go straight down the hill where possible.
– Always follow proper procedures for crossing the side of a hill as
described further in this Operator's Guide. Avoid hills with exces-
sively slippery or loose surfaces. Shift your weight to the uphill side
of the vehicle. Never attempt to turn the vehicle around on any hill
until you have mastered the turning technique described in this Op-
erator's Guide on level ground. Avoid crossing the side of a steep
hill if possible.
– Always use proper procedures if you stall or roll backwards when
climbing a hill. To avoid stalling, use proper gear and maintain a
steady speed when climbing a hill. If you stall or roll backwards, fol-
low the special procedure for braking described in this Operator's
Guide. Dismount on the uphill side or to a side if pointed straight
uphill. Turn the vehicle around and remount, following the proce-
dure described further in this Operator's Guide.
– Always check for obstacles before operating in a new area. Never
attempt to operate over large obstacles, such as large rocks or fall-
en trees. Always follow proper procedures when operating over ob-
stacles as described further in this Operator's Guide.
– Always be careful when skidding or sliding. Learn to safely control
skidding or sliding by practicing at low speeds and on level smooth
terrain. On extremely slippery surfaces, such as ice, go slowly and
be very cautious in order to reduce the chance of skidding out of
control.
– Never operate this vehicle in fast flowing water or in water deeper
than that specified in this Operator's Guide. Remember that wet
brakes may have reduced stopping ability. Test your brakes after
leaving water, mud or snow. If necessary, apply them several times
to let friction dry out the pads.
– Always keep in mind that braking distance is readily affected by but
not limited to; weather and terrain conditions, braking system and
