Driving on a Sidehill (Sidehilling)

Avoid crossing the side of a hill (sidehilling) if possible. If sidehilling is

necessary, follow these precautions:
1. Slow down.
2. Avoid hills with slippery or loose surfaces.
3. Avoid crossing the sides of steep hills.
4. Shift your weight uphill.
5. Keep your feet on the footrests.
6. If the vehicle begins to tip, quickly turn the front wheel downhill, if

possible, or dismount on the uphill side immediately!

Always follow the procedures outlined in this

manual for crossing the side of a hill.
Never attempt to turn the Tractor around on

any hill until you've mastered (on level

ground) the turning technique outlined in this

manual.
