DRIVING UPHILL
Whenever traveling uphill, follow these precautions:
1. Avoid excessively steep hills.
2. Always travel straight uphill.
3. Keep both feet on the floor.
4. Always check the terrain carefully before ascending any hill. Never climb hills
with excessively slippery or loose surfaces.
5. Proceed at a steady rate of speed and throttle opening. Never open the
throttle suddenly.
6. 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.
DRIVING ON A SIDEHILL (SIDEHILLING)

of control or rollover. Avoid crossing the side of any hill unless absolutely
necessary.

cause the vehicle to lean sharply to one side. Travel straight downhill when
possible.
