- On bad surfaces reduce the speed and drive cautiously
- Don't jam the brakes on wet surfaces, on un-metalled roads or on slippery roads
- While going down on slopes, don't proceed in the neutral gear, reduce the speed by closing the throttle control. Make the declaration easier by using the brakes, but don't apply brakes too long to avoid dangerous overheating - which in turn reduces efficiency of the brakes. Change to lower gear, to increase the engine braking effects
- To get rapid pick-up while overtaking, engage a lower gear in order to have the necessary power at once
- Don't engage the lower gear with the engine at high r.p.m. in order to avoid the wear and tear due to out-of-revolution
- The cargo should be loaded more in the front of the loading platform and don't exceed the specified carrying capacity so as to avoid over turning the vehicle while negotiating corners
- Before taking a curve, close the throttle and if required, change into lower gear
- While traveling on inclines, change into lower gear to get the required pick-up
- Do not open throttle when clutch is pressed down - this drastically reduces the clutch life
Note: Adjustments, repairs, if necessary, must be entrusted to the authorized service stations only. |
