Going Downhill - Massimo Alligator 700-4 Owner's Manual

If you start to lose traction or momentum
when climbing, and you decide you will be
unable to continue, use the brakes to come
to a stop. Do not attempt to turn the vehicle
around. With your foot on the brake, look
behind you and plan your descent. Shift the
drive select lever in reverse so you can use
the engine brake if necessary to slow your
descent. Release the brake and begin to
coast down the hill. Use engine braking as
much as possible, gently applying the brakes
when necessary.

GOING DOWNHILL

Check the terrain carefully before going
down a hill. When possible, choose a path
that lets you drive your vehicle straight
downhill. Avoid sharp angles that could allow
the vehicle to pitch or roll over. Carefully
choose your path and drive no faster than
you will be able to react to obstacles that
may appear.
