Never ride on a slope that exceeds your driving skills.
Never ride down a slope backward. If you activate the rear brake, the vehicle
will roll over.
When you come to a standstill, always dismount from the vehicle and turn it.
Never ride on a slope with a slippery surface. The vehicle can easily go out of
control and roll over.
Always ride straight up or down a slope and never at a slant.
Engage a gear with which you can ride all the way up the slope. Shifting on the slope
can cause the vehicle to roll over.
Shift your body weight to the front and ride cautiously.
Keep your vehicle speed and engine speed as constant as possible.
Always be prepared to jump sideways off the vehicle should it go out of control.
Drive slowly over hilltops to give yourself the opportunity to react to obstacles and
changes in terrain.
If the vehicle comes to a stop, immediately activate both brakes to prevent the vehicle
from rolling backward. Dismount from the vehicle and turn it.
