SAFE OPERATION 87 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. Descending Hills Slow down or stop at the top of a hill so you can pick a straight, safe path for descent to avoid any obstacles. Normally you should descend straight down a hill since driving at an angle could cause the vehicle to lean to one side and possibly tip over. Proceed slowly and cautiously. Apply the brake as necessary. Be careful if the surface is loose because the tires are more likely to skid and braking effectiveness will be reduced. Turning while descending a slope must be done very carefully and gradually to avoid tipping the vehicle over. j WARNING Riding sideways across a hill may cause the vehicle to overturn, causing severe injury or death.

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.
Descending Hills
Slow down or stop at the top of a hill so you can
pick a straight, safe path for descent to avoid any ob-
stacles. Normally you should descend straight down
a hill since driving at an angle could cause the vehi-
cle to lean to one side and possibly tip over. Proceed
slowly and cautiously. Apply the brake as necessary.
Be careful if the surface is loose because the tires
are more likely to skid and braking effectiveness will
be reduced.
Turning while descending a slope must be done
very carefully and gradually to avoid tipping the ve-
hicle over.
WARNING
Riding sideways across a hill may cause the
vehicle to overturn, causing severe injury or
death. Do not turn sideways to the hill.
Remember:
°
Stop and look for obstacles before descending a
hill.
°
Go straight downhill.
°
Go slowly.
°
If you must turn, do so carefully and gradually.
NOTE
°
When the throttle pedal is released completely and
the engine speed drops near an idle, the vehicle
