OPERATION WARNINGS
WARNING
POTENTIAL HAZARD
Climbing hills improperly.
WHAT CAN HAPPEN
Could cause loss of control, passenger ejection (2-UP models) or cause ve-
hicle to overturn.
HOW TO AVOID THE HAZARD
Always follow proper procedures for climbing hills as described in this Op-
erator's Guide.
Always check the terrain carefully before you start up any hill. Do not
forget, on 2-UP models, the operator is responsible for the safety of the
passenger. In doubt, disembark him before climbing hill. Always remem-
ber that the vehicle handling, stability and braking distance may be affected
when riding with a passenger.
Never climb hills with excessively slippery or loose surfaces.
Shift your weight forward (operator and passenger on 2-UP models).
Never open the throttle suddenly or make sudden gear changes. The vehi-
cle could flip over backwards.
Never go over the top of any hill at high speed. An obstacle, a sharp drop, or
another vehicle or person could be on the other side of the hill.
