OPERATION
Driving with a Passenger
6. Mount the vehicle from the left side.
7. After the operator is seated, the passenger should mount the vehicle
from the left side.
Allow a passenger to ride only in the approved passenger seat with both feet on
the footrests and both hands on the passenger grab handles at all times. The
passenger should never hold on to the operator.
8. Drive slowly. Control may be more difficult with a passenger on
board. Allow more time and distance for braking.
9. Avoid unexpected or aggressive maneuvers that could cause a pas-
senger to fall from the vehicle.
10. Do not cross a hillside with a passenger on board. See page 48.
11. Never secure a passenger to the vehicle or to the operator with a
belt, rope or similar device.
12. Make sure the passenger understands the importance of "active
riding." When hill-climbing or performing maneuvers, a passenger
should shift body weight in the same manner in which the driver
shifts body weight. For example, the passenger should lean to the
inside of a turn along with the operator and should always lean
uphill when climbing and descending hills.
