OPERATION
Driving Over Obstacles
Follow these precautions when operating over
obstacles:
1. Always check for obstacles before operating
in a new area.
2. Look ahead and learn to read the terrain. Be
constantly alert for hazards such as logs,
rocks and low hanging branches.
3. Travel slowly and use extra caution when
operating on unfamiliar terrain. Not all
obstacles are immediately visible.
4. Avoid operating over large obstacles such as
large rocks and fallen trees. If unavoidable,
use extreme caution and operate slowly.
5. Always have all passengers dismount and move away from the vehicle before operating
over an obstacle that could cause a rollover.
Driving Uphill
Whenever traveling uphill, follow these
precautions:
1. Always travel straight uphill.
2. Avoid excessively steep hills.
3. Keep both feet on the floor.
4. Always check the terrain carefully before
ascending any hill. Never climb hills with
excessively slippery or loose surfaces.
5. Proceed at a steady rate of speed and
throttle opening. Never open the throttle
suddenly.
6. Never go over the crest of a hill at high
speed. An obstacle, a sharp drop, or
another vehicle or person could be on the other side of the hill.
