18. Never operate on hills that are slippery or ones where you will not be able to see far
enough ahead of you. Never go over the top of a hill at speed if you cannot see what is on the
other side.
19. Always follow proper procedures for going uphill. If you lose momentum and cannot
continue up a hill, back down the hill with the engine in reverse gear. Use engine braking to
help you go slowly. If necessary, use the brakes gradually to help you go slowly.
20. Always check terrain carefully before going down hills. Go as slowly as possible. Never
go down a hill at high speed.
21. Always check for obstacles before operating in a new area.
22. Never operate the vehicle in fast flowing water or water deeper than the floorboards on
this model. Remember that wet brakes may have reduced stopping ability. Test your brakes
after leaving water. If necessary, apply the brakes lightly while the vehicle is moving so the
friction dries out the lining.
23. Always be sure there are no obstacles or people behind you when you operate in
reverse. When it is safe to proceed in reverse, go slowly. Do not brake abruptly when carrying
loads in the safari bed.
24. Always use the size and type of tires specified in this manual.
25. Always maintain proper tire pressure as described in this manual.
26. Never exceed the stated load capacity. Cargo should be as far forward in the bed as
possible, and distributed evenly from side to side. Be sure cargo is secured so that it cannot
move around during operation. Reduce speed and follow instructions in this manual for
carrying cargo or pulling a trailer. Allow greater distance for braking.
