Driving Techniques
CROSSING A RIDGE
CROSSING A DITCH
H2530
Cross ditches at an angle so that three wheels
H2532
always maintain contact with the ground. If a
ditch is approached head on, both front wheels
will drop into the ditch together, possibly
resulting in the chassis and front bumper being
trapped on opposite sides of the ditch. On
vehicles equipped with self-levelling
suspension, and if the severity of terrain makes
this inevitable, manually operating the
self-levelling suspension to increase clearance
between the ground and the rear of the vehicle
may help.
Approach at right angles so that both front
wheels cross the ridge together - an angled
approach could cause traction to be lost
through diagonally opposite wheels lifting from
the ground at the same time.
