ENCOUNTERING OBSTACLES ON THE TRAIL If you cannot go around an obstacle such as a fallen tree trunk or a ditch, stop the vehicle where it is safe to do so. Set the parking brake and get out to inspect the area thoroughly. Look from both your approach side and the exit side. If you believe you can continue safely, decide the path that will allow you to get over the obstacle at as close to a right angle as possible to minimize vehicle tipping. Go only fast enough to maintain your momentum but still give yourself plenty of time to react to changes in conditions. If there is any question about your ability to maneuver safely over the obstacle, you should turn around, if the ground is flat and you have the room, or back up until you find a less difficult path. WARNING POTENTIAL HAZARD Improperly operating over obstacles WHAT CAN HAPPEN Could cause loss of control or a collision. Could cause the vehicle to overturn. HOW TO AVOID THE HAZARD Before operating in a new area, check for obstacles. Use extreme caution when operating over large obstacles, such as large rocks or fallen trees. 7-15

ENCOUNTERING OBSTACLES ON THE
TRAIL
If you cannot go around an obstacle such as a
fallen tree trunk or a ditch, stop the vehicle
where it is safe to do so. Set the parking brake
and get out to inspect the area thoroughly.
Look from both your approach side and the
exit side. If you believe you can continue safe-
ly, decide the path that will allow you to get
over the obstacle at as close to a right angle
as possible to minimize vehicle tipping. Go
only fast enough to maintain your momentum
but still give yourself plenty of time to react to
changes in conditions. If there is any question
about your ability to maneuver safely over the
obstacle, you should turn around, if the
ground is flat and you have the room, or back
up until you find a less difficult path.
