RIDING ON HILLS
Climbing a hill
1. Stop and evaluate the hill before
attempting to climb. Make sure the hill is
not too steep, the terrain is not loose or
slippery and that there are no obstacles.
2. Approach the hill at a steady speed
and maintain speed throughout the climb.
3. Shift body weight forward during the
climb.
4. Adjust the angle of the handle forward
using the handle lock release lever
(page 5).
5. When approaching the top of the hill,
slow down.
If it is determined that the DTV will
not make it to the top of the hill:
1. Do not try to turn the DTV around while
riding and come back down, this could
cause the DTV to roll over. Instead, once
the DTV has stopped, dismount the DTV
while applying the brake
RIDING THE DTV
2. Stand beside or behind the DTV, lower
the handle enough to reach the hand
controls, keep one hand ready to apply the
brakes and use the throttle gently to drive
forward.
