SKIDDING OR SLIDING
CAUTION
Failure to use extra caution when operating on excessively rough, slippery or
loose terrain could cause loss of traction, loss of control, accident or rollover.
Do not operate on excessively slippery surfaces. Always slow down and use
additional caution when operating on slippery surfaces.
CAUTION
Skidding or sliding due to loss of traction can cause loss of control or rollover (if
tires regain traction unexpectedly). Always follow proper procedures for
operating on slippery surfaces as described in this owner's manual.
OPERATING OVER OBSTACLES
CAUTION
Improperly operating over obstacles could cause loss of control or rollover.
Before operating in a new area, check for obstacles. Avoid operating over
large obstacles such as large rocks and fallen trees. Always follow the proper
procedures outlined in this manual when operating over obstacles.
OPERATING THROUGH WATER
CAUTION
Operating through deep or fast-flowing water can cause loss of traction, loss of
control, rollover or accident. Never operate in fast-flowing water or in water that
exceeds the floor level of the vehicle.
Always follow proper procedures for operating in water as described in this
owner’s manual.
Wet brakes will have reduced stopping ability. After leaving water, test the
brakes. Apply them lightly several times while driving slowly. The friction will help
dry out the pads.
