SPECIAL SAFETY MESSAGES
– Always follow proper procedures for climbing hills as described further in
this Operator's Guide. Check the terrain carefully before you start up any hill.
Never climb hills with excessively slippery or loose surfaces. Shift your weight
forward. Never open the throttle suddenly or make sudden gear changes.
Never go over the top of any hill at high speed.
– Always follow proper procedures for going down hills and for braking on hills as
described further in this Operator's Guide. Check the terrain carefully before
you start down any hill. Shift your weight backward. Never go down a hill at
high speed. Avoid going down a hill at an angle that would cause the vehicle to
lean sharply to one side. Go straight down the hill where possible.
– Always follow proper procedures for crossing the side of a hill as described
further in this Operator's Guide. Avoid hills with excessively slippery or loose
surfaces. Shift your weight to the uphill side of the vehicle. Never attempt to
turn the vehicle around on any hill until you have mastered the turning technique
described in this Operator's Guide on level ground. Avoid crossing the side of a
steep hill if possible.
– Always use proper procedures if you stall or roll backwards when climbing a hill.
To avoid stalling, use proper gear and maintain a steady speed when climbing
a hill. If you stall or roll backwards, follow the special procedure for braking
described in this Operator's Guide. Dismount on the uphill side or to a side
if pointed straight uphill. Turn the vehicle around and remount, following the
procedure described further in this Operator's Guide.
– Always check for obstacles before operating in a new area. Never attempt to
operate over large obstacles, such as large rocks or fallen trees. Always follow
proper procedures when operating over obstacles as described further in this
Operator's Guide.
– Always be careful when skidding or sliding. Learn to safely control skidding or
sliding by practicing at low speeds and on level smooth terrain. On extremely
slippery surfaces, such as ice, go slowly and be very cautious in order to reduce
the chance of skidding out of control.

specified in this Operator's Guide. Remember that wet brakes may have
reduced stopping ability. Test your brakes after leaving water. If necessary,
apply them several times to let friction dry out the pads.

Always maintain proper tire pressure as described further in this Operator's
Guide.
