Do not forget, the operator is responsible for the safety of the passenger. In
doubt, disembark him before climbing hill. Always remember that the vehicle
handling, stability and braking distance may be affected when riding with a pas-
senger.
If you decide to keep your passenger, he must synchronize his movements with
yours.
Operator and passenger must keep their body weight forward, towards the top
of the hill. Keep feet on the footrests and shift into low gear then accelerate and
when necessary, change gear quickly as you climb. Do not over-speed since
this may cause the front of the vehicle to lift from the ground and fall back on
you. If the hill is too steep and you cannot proceed or the vehicle begins to roll
backwards, apply the brake, being careful not to slide. Dismount, passenger first,
then use the "U" turn or "K" turn (while walking back, next to the vehicle on the
up hill side and with a hand on the brake lever, slowly back the rear of the vehicle
toward the top of the hill then drive downhill). Always walk or dismount on the
upside of the slope while keeping clear of the vehicle and its rotating wheels.
Do not try to hold on to the vehicle if it begins to topple. Stay clear. Do not
ride over the crest of the hill at high speed. Obstacles, including sharp drop-offs,
may exist. The passenger should get on the vehicle only when the vehicle has
returned to a safe location.
