Driving on a Sidehill (Sidehilling)
Avoid crossing the side of a hill (sidehilling) if possible. If sidehilling is
necessary, follow these precautions:
1. Slow down.
2. Avoid hills with excessively slippery or loose surfaces.
3. Shift your weight uphill.
4. Avoid crossing the sides of steep hills.
5. Keep your feet on the footrests.
6. Steer slightly into the hill.
7. If the vehicle begins to tip, quickly turn the front wheels downhill
(if possible) or dismount on the uphill side immediately!
Always follow the procedures outlined
in this manual for crossing the side of
a hill.
Never attempt to turn the vehicle
around on any hill until you've
mastered (on level ground) the turning
technique outlined in this manual.
