even on flat, open areas. These rollovers can
result in crushed limbs and other serious inju-
ries or death to drivers or passengers.
When operating the vehicle in areas which re-
quire the use of a safety flag, mount the safety
flag pole on the flag pole bracket. See page
4-33.
Hills
Choose carefully which hills you attempt to
climb or descend. Avoid hills with slippery
surfaces or those where you will not be able
to see far enough ahead of you. Use common sense and remember that some hills are too
steep for you to climb or descend. Use proper
driving techniques to
avoid rearward, for-
ward, or sideways rollovers on hills and
slopes.
Drive straight up and down inclines, not
across them. If crossing a hill is unavoidable,
drive slowly. Turn downhill immediately if you
feel the vehicle may tip.
If you think or feel the vehicle may tip or
roll:
 Brace yourself by pressing your feet firmly
on the floorboard and keep a firm grip on
the steering wheel or passenger handhold.
 Do not put your hands or feet outside of the
vehicle for any reason.
Uphill
Do not attempt to climb hills until you have
mastered basic maneuv ers on flat ground.
Drive straight up hills, and avoid crossing the
side of a hill, which increases your risk of roll-UB5H7AE0.book Page 18 Wednesday, July 4, 2018 1:37 PM
