Uphill Driving
Due to configuration, this vehicle has excellent climbing ability, so much so that
tipover is possible before traction is lost. For example, its common to encounter
terrain situations where the top of the hill has eroded to a point that the hill peak
rises very sharply. The vehicle can readily negotiate such a condition, however, in
doing so, when the front of the vehicle is driven to a point that the vehicle’s
balance changes rearward tip over can occur.
The same situation may apply if an embedded object causes the front of the
vehicle to climb more than desired. If such a situation occurs take an alternate
route. Be aware of sidehilling dangers when doing so.
It is also wise to know the terrain condition on the other side of the hill or bank.
All too often there exists a sharp drop-off that is impossible to negotiate or de-
scend.
Downhill Driving
This vehicle can climb slopes that are steeper than it can safely descend. There-
fore, it is essential to assure that a safe route exists to descend a slope before
you climb it.
Decelerating while negotiating a slippery downhill slope could “toboggan” the
vehicle. Maintain steady speed and/or accelerate slightly to regain control.
Side Hilling
Whenever possible, such operation should be avoided. If necessary, do so with
extreme caution. Always disembark the passenger before performing this oper-
ation. Sidehilling on steep inclines could result in roll-over. In addition, slippery or
unfirm surfaces could result in uncontrollable side sliding. Do not attempt to turn
the vehicle downhill with the slide. Avoid all objects or depressions that will in-
tensify the raising of one side of the vehicle higher than the other, thus causing
roll-over.
Drop-Offs
This vehicle will “bottom-out” and usually stop if either the front or rear wheels
are driven over a drop-off. If the drop is sharp or deep, the vehicle will nose dive
and tip-over.
WARNING
Avoid negotiating drop-offs. Reverse and select an alternate route.
