Never operate on excessively rough, slippery,
or loose terrain until you have learned and
practiced the skills necessary to control the ve-
hicle on such terrain. Always be especially cau-
tious on these kinds of terrain.


Never turn at excessive speed. Practice turning
at slow speeds before attempting to turn at fast-
er speeds. Do not attempt turns on steep in-
clines.


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°


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.

GOING UPHILL
Do not attempt to climb hills until you have mas-
tered basic maneuvers on flat ground. Use proper
driving techniques to avoid overturns on hills and
slopes. Drive straight up hills, and avoid crossing
the side of a hill, which increases your chance of
rollover. Practice first on gentle slopes before at-
tempting steeper hills. Always check the terrain
carefully before attempting any hill. Use common
sense and remember that some hills are too steep
for you to climb.
Choose carefully which hills you attempt to climb.
Avoid hills with slippery surfaces or ones where
you will not be able to see far enough ahead of
you.Maximum slope angle: 15°
