OPERATIONS
Driving on Side Slopes
•
Crossing hillsides or turning on hills can result in loss of control or vehicle rollover, resulting in severe injury or death.
•
When driving on side slopes, exercise extreme caution.
•
Avoid operating on steep hills (15° maximum).
Driving Downhill
Whenever driving down a hill, follow these precautions:
1.
Test the brake pedal and parking brake before descent.
2.
Keep in a straight line and proceed directly downhill.
3.
Maintain a safe speed in accordance with the conditions.
4.
Apply the brakes slightly and softly to aid in slowing.
•
Traveling downhill improperly could cause loss of control or vehicle overturn. Always check the terrain carefully before descending a
hill.
•
Never descend a hill at high speed. Excessive speed may result in the loss of vehicle control and can lead to serious injury or death.
Always operate slowly when traveling downhill.
•
Avoid descending a hill at an angle, which could cause the vehicle to lean sharply to one side. Travel straight downhill when possible.
