CLIMBING HILLS

Practice climbing on evenly surfaced slopes of less than 20 degrees. The vehicle's capability in climbing hills or traversing any specific terrain is dependent upon operator skill and vehicle load. As you gain experience in handling this vehicle, and learnrepparttar hazards to be encountered and your own limitations you may then proceed to drive more challenging terrain. However, you must first be able to discern and avoid any hill or hazard that would cause this vehicle to overturn. Take a running start, atrepparttar 132941 appropriate speed forrepparttar 132942 ascent, and climb at a steady rate of speed.

WARNING - Do not apply power suddenly by openingrepparttar 132943 throttle while ascending a hill orrepparttar 132944 front wheels may rise fromrepparttar 132945 ground. Ifrepparttar 132946 front wheels lift,repparttar 132947 operator's control will be lessened andrepparttar 132948 vehicle may overturn backwards. If you should find that you have incorrectly estimated climbing capability and lackrepparttar 132949 power or traction to continuerepparttar 132950 ascent, if space permits, turnrepparttar 132951 vehicle around while you still haverepparttar 132952 forward speed to do so and descend. Avoid stalling part way up a hill, as maneuvering will then become more difficult.

CAUTION - Before attempting a turn on a hillside,repparttar 132953 operator should first master turning technique on level ground. If you do lose all forward speed, and can neither continue uphill nor maneuverrepparttar 132954 vehicle under its own power, turn offrepparttar 132955 engine, dismount, and physically turnrepparttar 132956 machine around.

CAUTION - To avoid overturning,repparttar 132957 operator must exercise a high degree of caution when dismounting or moving this vehicle on a hillside.

DESCENDING HILLS

It is usually advisable to descend hills withrepparttar 132958 vehicle pointed directly downhill, avoiding angles that would causerepparttar 132959 vehicle to lean sharply to one side. As you approachrepparttar 132960 point of descent, stop and surveyrepparttar 132961 terrain below. Never drive headlong past your limit of visibility. When you have picked a safe path of descent, descend slowly withrepparttar 132962 throttle closed. Sit back onrepparttar 132963 seat, with arms extended and braced onrepparttar 132964 steering wheel. When descending it is recommended thatrepparttar 132965 operator applyrepparttar 132966 brakes intermittently to further reduce forward speed. Braking effectiveness is reduced while descending any incline with a loose surface.

RIDING THROUGH WATER

Do not cross any stream with fast flowing water. The tires may float, making it difficult to maintain control. Do not driverepparttar 132967 vehicle through water for prolonged periods. The vehicle can cross water to a depth of approximately 4-6 inches, althoughrepparttar 132968 operator must be careful to avoid gettingrepparttar 132969 spark plug or air cleaner wet. When crossing shallow streams, choose a course where both banks have gradual inclines. Proceed at a slow, steady speed, and take care to avoid submerged obstacles and slippery rocks. If loss of forward motion or pulling power is noticed when driving through water, it indicatesrepparttar 132970 torque converter belt has become wet. When this occurs,repparttar 132971 operator should immediately head toward shore at minimum throttle required to maintain motion. Once on shore,repparttar 132972 torque converter belt will dry quickly if operator will sit for a few moments withrepparttar 132973 engine idling. After driving through water,repparttar 132974 brakes may be less effective than normal. Testrepparttar 132975 brakes after traveling through any water, and if necessary, applyrepparttar 132976 brakes repeatedly untilrepparttar 132977 heat of friction has dried them andrepparttar 132978 brakes retain their normal effectiveness.

WARNING - Do not operate vehicle at high speeds until brakes are dry and effective.
