4.17 Skidding or Sliding
Skidding or sliding can cause loss of control or rollover (if tires
regain traction unexpectedly). Always follow proper
procedures for operating on slippery surfaces as trained. When
operating on slippery surfaces such as ice or loose gravel,
reduce speed and use extra caution to reduce the chance of
skidding or sliding. Do not operate on excessively slippery
surfaces.
4.18 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 recommended
maximum depth.
Always follow proper procedures as trained for operating in
water. Wet brakes will have reduced stopping ability. After
leaving water, test the brakes. Apply them lightly several times

Be cognoscente of water intrusion into engine intakes and
CVT. Follow OEM procedures to properly remove water
before further operations.

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

with any other vehicles in your party. Always check with local
