SAFE OPERATION 103 Remember: żSome hills are too steep. Use common sense. żNever ride past your limit of visibility. If you can't see what is on the other side of the crest of a hill, slow down until you can get a clear view. żUse low gearing. żDon't let the vehicle roll backward. If it does, avoid sudden braking (For "2WD": use only the front brake). żIf you get stuck on a hill, set the parking brake and dismount on the uphill side. Antenna Flag In hilly country, use an antenna flag so others can see you coming from the other side of a hill or sand dune. Take extra care when approaching blind hill tops and corners. j
