DRIVING OVER OBSTACLES
Follow these precautions when operating over obstacles:
1. Always check for obstacles before operating in a new area.
2. Look ahead and learn to read the terrain. Be constantly alert for hazards
such as logs, rocks and low hanging branches.
3. Travel slowly and use extra caution when operating on unfamiliar terrain. Not
all obstacles are immediately visible.
4. Move the drive mode switch to low mode if needed.
5. Avoid operating over large obstacles such as large rocks and fallen trees. If
unavoidable, use extreme caution and operate slowly.
6. Always have all passengers dismount and move away from the vehicle
before operating over an obstacle that could cause a rollover.
DRIVING UPHILL
Whenever traveling uphill, follow these precautions:
1. Avoid excessively steep hills.
2. ADC Models: Always operate in low gear and engage ADC 4X4 before
ascending or descending a hill.
3. Always travel straight uphill.
4. Keep both feet on the floor.
5. Always check the terrain carefully before ascending any hill. Never climb hills
with excessively slippery or loose surfaces.
6. Proceed at a steady rate of speed and throttle opening. Never open the
throttle suddenly.
7. Never go over the crest of a hill at high speed. An obstacle, a sharp drop, or
another vehicle or person could be on the other side of the hill.
