OPERATING THROUGH WATER
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. See page 69.
Wet brakes may 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.
OPERATING ON FROZEN BODIES OF WATER
Severe injury or death can result if the vehicle and/or
the operator fall through the ice. Never operate the
vehicle on a frozen body of water unless you have first
verified that the ice is sufficiently thick to support the
weight and moving force of the vehicle, you and your
passengers, and your cargo, together with any other
vehicles in your party.
Always check with local authorities and residents to
confirm ice conditions and thickness over your entire
route. Vehicle operators assume all risk associated
with ice conditions on frozen bodies of water.
OPERATING A DAMAGED VEHICLE
Operating a damaged vehicle can result in an accident. After any rollover or
other accident, have a qualified service dealer inspect the entire machine for
possible damage, including (but not limited to) seat belts, rollover protection
devices, brakes, throttle and steering systems.
