18.7 Side Hilling
• Side hilling or driving across a slope should be avoided
whenever possible.
• Use extreme caution and avoid obstacles that can raise the
uphill side of the vehicle, this increases the potential for a roll
over.
• Be aware of slippery or unfirm surfaces which can cause
uncontrollable slides and steer downhill to reduce the chance of
a roll over.
Be aware that cargo can change the center of gravity affecting the
vehicles stability and increasing the risk of a roll over. Cargo can
also shift causing the pedals to become stuck thereby causing a
loss of control.
18.8 Drop Offs
• The ROXOR is not designed to traverse a sheer downward slope,
cliff or drop off.
• If you encounter a sheer downward slope, cliff or drop off, back
up and select a different route.
• If the front or rear wheels are driven off this type of terrain it will
most likely stop moving or roll over.
Attempting to negotiate drop offs as described above may lead to
severe injury or death.
18.9 Crossing Obstacles
• It is best to avoid obstacles whenever possible.
• Operator/ Passengers should grip steering wheel/ handhold
firmly and keep feet on the floor during all crossings.
• Never try to cross obstacles that are higher than the ground
clearance (9”) of the ROXOR.
• Adjust your speed without losing momentum and try to
approach obstacles head on.
• Be aware that obstacles can be slippery and even move while
crossing them.
Under rough trail conditions or when crossing an obstacle, the
steering wheel could suddenly jerk in one direction or the other.
Grip the steering wheel with both hands, without having thumbs
wrapped around the steering wheel. Hand and/ or wrist injuries
may occur if the thumbs are wrapped around the steering wheel.
