SAFE OPERATION - DRIVING SAFELY
93
Abrupt maneuvers or aggressive driving can cause rollovers or loss of control even in at open areas. If
the vehicle rolls over, any part of your body ( such as arms, legs, or head ) outside of the cockpit can be
crushed and trapped by the cage or other parts of the vehicle. You can also be injured by impact with the
ground, cab, or other objects.
To reduce the risk of rollovers:
• Use care when turning.
• Adjust steering inputs accordingly to your speed and environment.
• Slow down before entering a turn.
• Avoid hard braking during a turn.
• Avoid sudden or hard acceleration when turning, even from a stop or low speed.
• Never attempt donuts, skids, slides, shtails, jumps, or other stunts.
• If vehicle starts to skid or slide, steer in the direction of the skid or slide.
• Never slam the brakes and lock the wheels.
• This vehicle is built primarily for OFF-ROAD purposes. Riding on paved surfaces may seriously
aect vehicle handling and control. If you must drive on paved surfaces for a short distance, reduce
speed and avoid abrupt inputs to steering wheel, accelerator and brake pedals.
This vehicle can roll over sideways, or tip over forward or backwards on slopes or uneven terrain:
• Avoid side hilling ( driving along the slope rather than up or down a hill ). When possible, drive
straight up and down inclines rather than across them. If you must side hill, use extreme caution
and avoid slippery surfaces, objects, or depressions. If you feel the vehicle start to rollover or slide
sideways, steer downhill if possible.
• Avoid steep hills and follow procedures in this manual for climbing and descending hills.
