4.
Use the 1-2 range until you get used to driving the carrier.
5.
Take care not to oversteer or go too fast, especially on hard pavement. You could lose control of the carrier.
6.
Push the air control in to open the valve and let the engine breathe cooler air from the rear compartment. This will give
the engine a boost in horsepower.
7.
Decelerate as the carrier approaches the edge of a ditch or trench. Use gear range 1 or 1-2. Just as carrier bottoms
out in a ditch or trench, accelerate and use full power as the carrier starts to climb. Maximum width of trench safely
crossed is 5-1/2 feet (1.67 m).
