SAFE OPERATION

Antenna Flag
In hilly country, use an antenna flag so others can
see you coming from the other side of a hill or sand
dune. Take extra care when approaching blind hill
tops and corners.
Traversing Hillsides
When riding across the side of a hill, keep your
body weight toward the top of the hill. Avoid hills with
slippery sides that will cause you to lose traction.
Also avoid traversing hillsides covered with rocks or
other obstacles which may cause you to lose your
balance or tip over.
If the vehicle begins to tip, steer downhill if possible
to regain control. If you discover that the vehicle is
in danger of rolling over, dismount on the uphill side.
