Never operate on hills that are slippery or ones where you will not be able to see far
enough ahead of you. Never go over the top of a hill at speed if you cannot see what
is on the other side.
Always follow proper procedures for going uphill. If you lose momentum and cannot
continue up a hill, back down the hill with the engine in reverse gear. Use engine
braking to help you go slowly. If necessary, use the brakes gradually to help you go
slowly.
Always check terrain carefully before going down hills. Go as slowly as possible.
Never go down a hill at high speed.
Always check for obstacles before operating in a new area.
Never operate the vehicle in fast flowing water or water deeper than the floorboards
on this model. Remember that wet brakes may have reduced stopping ability. Test
your brakes after leaving water. If necessary, apply them several times to let friction
dry out the linings.
Always be sure there are no obstacles or people behind you when you operate in
reverse. When it is safe to proceed in reverse, go slowly. Do not brake abruptly when
carrying loads in the cargo bed.
Always use the size and type of tires specified in this manual.
Always maintain proper tire pressure as described in this manual.
Never exceed the stated load capacity. Cargo should be as far forward in the bed as
possible, and distributed evenly from side to side. Be sure cargo is secured so that it
cannot move around during operation. Reduce speed and follow instructions in this
manual for carrying cargo or pulling a trailer. Allow greater distance for braking.
