GOING UPHILL Do not attempt to climb slopes until you have mastered basic maneuvers on flat ground. Use proper driving techniques to avoid overturns on hills and slopes. Drive straight up slopes, and avoid crossing the side of a slope, which increases your chance of rollover. Practice first on gentle inclines before attempting slopes. Always check the terrain carefully before attempting any slope. Use common sense and remember that some slopes are too steep for you to climb. Maximum slope angle: 15° Choose carefully which slopes you attempt to drive on. Avoid slopes with slippery surfaces or ones where you will not be able to see far enough ahead of you. WARNING POTENTIAL HAZARD Operating on steep slopes. WHAT CAN HAPPEN The utility vehicle can overturn more easily on steep slopes than on level surfaces or gentle inclines. HOW TO AVOID THE HAZARD Never operate your vehicle on slopes too steep for it or your abilities. Never operate vehicles on slopes steeper than 15°. Do not drive across the face of a slope. Go straight up the slope. Practice on smaller slopes before attempting large slopes. Slow down when you reach the crest of the hill if you cannot clearly see what is on the other side - there could be another person, an obstacle, or a sharp drop off. 7-4
