New Operator Driving Procedures
12. Apply the brakes and shift into low gear.
13. Check your surroundings and determine your path of travel.
14. Keeping both hands on the steering wheel, slowly release the brakes
and depress the throttle with your right foot to begin driving.
15. Drive slowly at first. On level surfaces, practice starting, stopping,
turning, maneuvering, using the throttle and brakes and driving in
reverse. Learn how the vehicle handles when making both left and
right turns at a slow speed.
16. Increase speed only after mastering all maneuvers at a slow speed.
17. After you become skilled at making turns and begin to operate at
faster speeds, follow these precautions:
• Avoid sharp turns.
• Never turn while applying heavy throttle.
• Never make abrupt steering maneuvers.
• Operate at speeds appropriate for your skills, the conditions and
the terrain.
• DO NOT do power slides, “donuts”, jumps or other driving
stunts.
