Driving Downhill
Whenever descending a hill, follow these precautions:
1. Proceed directly downhill.
2. Transfer your weight to the rear of the vehicle.
3. Slow down.
4. Apply the brakes
slightly
to aid in slowing, using the single brake
lever.
NOTE:
Familiarize yourself with operation of the auxiliary rear brake
pedal for additional braking in the event of normal service brake loss.
Excessive speed can cause loss of control and lead to serious
injury or death. Always operate slowly when traveling downhill.
