OPERATION
Driving with a Passenger
6. Mount the vehicle from the left side.
7. After the operator is seated, the passenger should mount the vehicle
from the left side.
NOTE: Allow a passenger to ride only in the approved passenger seat with
both feet on the footrests and both hands on the passenger grab han-
dles at all times. The passenger should never hold on to the operator.
8. Drive slowly. Control may be more difficult with a passenger on
board. Allow more time and distance for braking.
9. Avoid unexpected or aggressive maneuvers that could cause a pas-
senger to fall from the vehicle.
10. Do not cross a hillside with a passenger on board. See page 54.
11. Never secure a passenger to the vehicle or to the operator with a
belt, rope or similar device.
12. Make sure the passenger understands the importance of "active
riding." When hill-climbing or performing maneuvers, a passenger
should shift body weight in the same manner in which the driver
shifts body weight. For example, the passenger should lean to the
inside of a turn along with the operator and should always lean
uphill when climbing and descending hills.
