Always keep both hands on the steering wheel when driving.

Never wrap your thumbs and fingers around the steering wheel. This is particularly important when
driving in rough terrain. The front wheels will move right and left as they respond to the terrain, and this
movement will be felt in the steering wheel. A sudden jolt could wrench the steering wheel around, and
your thumbs or fingers could be injured if they are in the way of the steering wheel spokes.
z
Always go slowly and be extra careful when operating on unfamiliar terrain. Always be alert to changing
terrain conditions when driving the vehicle.
z
Never operate on excessively rough, slippery, or loose terrain until you have learned and practiced the
skills necessary to control the vehicle on such terrain. Always be especially cautious on these kinds of
terrain.
z
Never turn at excessive speed. Practice turning at slow speeds before attempting to turn at faster
speeds. Do not attempt turns on steep inclines.

Never operate the vehicle on hills that are too steep for it or for your abilities. Go straight up and down
hills where possible. Maximum slope angle: 15
°
.
z
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.
z
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.
z
Always check terrain carefully before going down hills. Go as slowly as possible. Never go down a hill
at high speed.
