Passing target: 20 correct signs and 20 correct rules
You are using SGI's gentle rocking method to free a vehicle stuck in deep snow. The drive wheels start spinning. What should you do before changing direction?
Correct answer: Stop accelerating, hold it with the brake and let the wheels stop turning.
Why
In SGI's rocking method for deep snow, use gentle acceleration. As soon as the wheels spin, stop accelerating and hold the vehicle with the brake. Make sure the wheels have stopped turning before changing between forward and reverse, then accelerate gently in the new direction. The stop-before-shifting step helps avoid transmission damage. This is a specific stuck-in-snow technique, not a general hill-start instruction.
