TO PREVENT ROLL-OVER, OPERATE THE VEHICLE SLOWLY
STRAIGHT UP AND DOWN SLOPES. DO NOT OPERATE THE
VEHICLE ON SLOPES THAT ARE MORE THAN A 20% GRADE.
VEHICLE ROLLBACK WHEN STARTING ON AN INCLINE CAN
CAUSE PROPERTY DAMAGE, SERIOUS PERSONAL INJURY, OR
DEATH. USE THE BRAKE PEDAL TO HOLD THE VEHICLE UNTIL THE
DRIVETRAIN IS FULLY ENGAGED.
Precautions when on an uphill slope:
• Prevent driving on slopes that exceed 20% grade.
• Always examine the terrain carefully before driving on a slope. Do not drive on a slope with
slippery or loose surfaces.
• Keep your feet on the floorboard.
• Drive in a straight line on the slope.
• Prevent driving at an offset angle. An offset angle will cause the vehicle to lean sharply to one
side.
• Continue at a stable rate of speed. Do not accelerate quickly.
• Do not stop a vehicle with a load on a slope. If a vehicle with a load must stop on a slope,
prevent backwards movement or sudden starts or stops.
• Do not go over the top of a hill at high speed. Obstacles, sharp drop-offs, other vehicles, or
persons could be on the other side of the hill.
