7. Mount the vehicle from the left side. After the operator is seated, the
passenger should mount the vehicle from the left side. Always make sure the
brake is engaged to ensure the vehicle remains motionless whenever a
passenger mounts or dismounts.
8. A passenger should always be seated in the passenger seat with both feet
on the footrests and both hands on the passenger grab handles at all times.
The passenger should never hold on to the operator. Never secure a
passenger to the vehicle or to the operator with a belt, rope or similar device.
9. Slow down. Control may be more difficult with a passenger on board. Allow
more time and distance for braking.
10.Ride to the ability of your passenger, instead of to your own ability. Avoid
unexpected or aggressive maneuvers that could cause a passenger to fall
from the vehicle.
11. Do not cross a hillside with a passenger on board.
12.Make sure the passenger understands the importance of "active riding."
When hillclimbing or performing maneuvers, a passenger should shift body
weight in the same manner in which the driver shifts body weight. For
example, the passenger should lean to the inside of a turn along with the
operator and should always lean uphill when climbing and descending hills.
TURNING THE VEHICLE
Both rear wheels drive equally at all times. This means that the outside wheel
must travel a greater distance than the inside wheel when turning, and the inside
tire must slip traction slightly.
1. Slow down.
2. Never turn quickly when carrying cargo.
3. Steer in the direction of the turn.
4. Keep both feet on the footrests.
5. Lean your upper body to the inside of the turn while supporting your weight
on the outer footrest. This technique alters the balance of traction between
the rear wheels, allowing the turn to be made smoothly. The same leaning
technique should be used for turning in reverse.
6. Practice making turns at slow speeds before attempting to turn at faster
speeds.
WARNING
Turning improperly can result in vehicle overturn. Never turn abruptly or at
sharp angles. Never turn at high speeds.
