OPERATION

Driving Downhill

When driving downhill, follow these precautions:

1. Avoid steep hills (25

° maximum).

2. Shift body weight uphill.

3. Drive straight downhill.

4. Slow down. Excessive speed when traveling downhill can cause

loss of control.

5. Squeeze the rear (left) brake lever gradually. Applying the brakes

too firmly may cause the rear wheels to lock, which could result in
loss of control.
