Sidehilling
Sidehilling your 6x6 is one of the most dangerous types of riding
and should be avoided if possible. In the event you do enter into a
situation where sidehilling is necessary, always:
1. Slow down.
2. Lean into the hill transferring your upper body weight toward the hill
while keeping your feet on the footrests.
3. Steer slightly into the hill to maintain vehicle directions.
If vehicle begins to tip, quickly turn the front wheel downhill, if
possible, or dismount on the uphill side immediately!
WARNING
Improperly crossing hills or turning on hills can be dangerous!
Loss of vehicle control or overturning of the vehicle could occur.

Avoid crossing the side of a steep hill if possible.

Use extreme care when operating your 6x6 in hilly terrain.
