SAFE OPERATION - DRIVING SAFELY
103
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.
• Sudden changes in terrain such as holes, depressions, banks, softer or harder ground or other
irregularities may cause the vehicle to tip or become unstable. Observe the terrain ahead and slow
down in areas of uneven terrain.
This vehicle will handle dierently when carrying or pulling a load:
• Reduce speed and follow instructions in this manual for carrying cargo or pulling a trailer.
• Avoid hills and rough terrain.
• Allow more distance to stop.
Be prepared in case of rollover:
• Latch side doors and fasten seat belts to help you avoid sticking out arms or legs.
• Never grab the cage while riding. Hands can be crushed between the cage and the ground in a
rollover. Keep hands on the steering wheel or handholds.
• Never try to stop a rollover using your arms or legs. If you think that the vehicle may tip or roll, the
driver should keep both hands on the steering wheel and both feet firmly planted on the floor. The
passenger should keep both hands on the handholds and both feet rmly planted on the oor.
