18 General Driving Techniques
18.1 Driving Tips
• Stay alert to changing terrain conditions as slopes and obstacles
can decrease stability.
• Proceed slowly when entering unfamiliar terrain, if in doubt,
back out.
• Power and traction, not speed, are most important in driving
offroad.
• Keeping both hands on the steering wheel is the best way to
maintain control.
• Make every attempt to avoid obstacles that could enter the
cockpit area and hit you or your passengers.
• Never operate the ROXOR if the controls do not function
normally, instead take it to a ROXOR authorized dealer.
18.2 Driving in Reverse
• Choosing a safe place to turn around is always preferred
whenever possible.
• Be aware that abrupt steering inputs while driving in reverse can
increase the risk of a roll over.
• When operating in reverse, check that the path behind the
ROXOR is free of people and/or obstacles.
• When safe, proceed with care and caution, go slowly and avoid
sharp turns.
• Always maintain a level of alertness to your blind spots when
driving in reverse.
• Pay attention to blind spots. When it is safe to proceed in
reverse, go slowly and avoid sharp turns.
When driving downhill in reverse, gravity can increase your speed
above a safe level. Always use engine and gears to slow descent
rate and prevent over heating the brakes.
