OPERATION

Driving Downhill

Whenever descending a hill, follow these precautions:
1. Always descend a hill with the transmission in forward gear. Do

not descend a hill with the transmission in neutral.

2. Slow down.
3. Proceed directly downhill.
4. Shift body weight uphill.
5. Apply the brakes slightly to aid in slowing.
Familiarize yourself with operation of the auxiliary brake in the event

loss of normal service brakes occurs.

WARNING

Excessive speed can cause loss of control and lead to serious

injury or death. Always operate slowly when traveling downhill.
