Safety Information 53
D Drro op p--O Offffss
This vehicle will “bottom-out” and usually stop if either the front or rear wheels
are driven over a drop-off. If the drop is sharp or deep, the vehicle will nose dive
and tip over.
When riding on a 2-UP model, the operator is responsible for the safety of the
passenger; in doubt, disembark the passenger before proceeding.

Water can be a unique hazard. If it is too deep the vehicle may “float” and topple.
Check the water depth and current before you attempt to cross any water. Water
should not go above the footrest. Be wary of slippery surfaces such as rocks,
grass, logs, etc., both in the water and on its banks. A loss of traction may occur.
Do not attempt to enter the water at high speed. The water will act as a brake
and could throw you off the vehicle, on the ground.
Wet brakes will affect the braking ability of your vehicle. Make sure you dry the
brakes by applying them several times after the vehicle leaves the water, mud or
snow. Allow greater distance for braking.
Mud or marsh lands may be encountered near water. Be prepared for sudden
“holes” or changes in depth. Similarly so, be watchful of hazards such as rocks,
logs, etc., partially covered by vegetation.

If your route crosses frozen waterways, make sure the ice is thick enough and
sound enough to support the total weight of yourself, your passenger (2-UP mod-
els), the vehicle and its load. Be ever watchful of open water it is a sure indication
that the ice thickness will vary.
On 2-UP models, the operator is responsible for the safety of the passenger; in
doubt, do not attempt to cross.
Ice will also affect the control of the vehicle. Slow down and do not “gun” the
throttle. This will only result in spinning of the tires and possible tip over of the ve-
hicle or passenger ejection (2-UP models). Avoid rapid braking. This again will
possibly result in an uncontrolled slide and tip over of the vehicle or passenger
ejection (2-UP models). Slush should be avoided at all times since it could block
the operation or controls of the vehicle.
