POTENTIAL HAZARD
Going down a hill improperly.

Could cause loss of control, passenger ejection or cause vehicle to overturn.
HOW TO AVOID THE HAZARD
Always follow proper procedures for going down hills as described fur-
ther in this Operator’s Guide. NOTE: A special technique is required when
braking as you go down a hill.
Always check the terrain carefully before you start down any hill. Do not
forget, the operator is responsible for the safety of the passenger. In
doubt, disembark the passenger before climbing hill. Always remember
that the vehicle handling, stability and braking distance may be affected
when riding with a passenger.
