SAFE OPERATION
j
Be careful if the surface is loose; the tires may skid
and braking effectiveness will be reduced.
Turning while descending a slope must be done
very carefully and gradually to avoid tipping the ve-
hicle over. The rider should keep his feet on the foot-
boards and transfer his weight to the rear of the ve-
hicle, and on the uphill side of the vehicle.
Remember:
°
Stop and look for obstacles before descending a
hill.
°
Use low gearing.
°
Go straight downhill.
°
Shift your weight to the rear.
°
Go slowly.
°
Avoid sudden braking (For “4WD” only).
°
Avoid excessive use of the front brake (For “2WD”
only).
°
If you must turn, do so carefully and gradually,
keeping your weight toward the top of the hill.
