ҮWhen ascending a slope, shift to
lower gear to relieve the engine
from overload.
ҮWhen descending a slope, shift to
lower gear to gain retardation effect
of the engine. It is advisable to use
the exhaust brake and engine brake
in combination when descending a
slope. Frequent use of foot brakes
while descending a long slope will
cause brake drum overheating and
consequential malfunction of the
brake.
ҮSpecial care should be taken when
descending a slope, particularly
when shifting down into lower gear,
as the engine is liable to overrun.
Excess engine rpm may result in
trouble with each part of the engine,
especially possible breakage of
valve spring and push rod.
