OPERATION
Driving Through Water
Your vehicle can drive through shallow water. Make sure the water is no
deeper than the floor of the vehicle. Follow these precautions when
driving through water:
1. Check water depth. Never drive through water that is deeper than
the floor level.
2. After driving through water, test the brakes. Apply them lightly sev-
eral times while driving slowly. The friction will help dry out the
pads.
NOTICE:
Major engine damage can result if the vehicle is not thoroughly
inspected after operation in water. Perform the services outlined in
the maintenance chart. See page 41. Give special attention to
engine oil, transmission oil and all grease fittings.
If your vehicle becomes immersed or is operated in water that
exceeds the floor level,
service is required before starting the
engine.
Your HAMMERHEAD dealer can provide this service. If it's
impossible to bring the vehicle in before starting the engine, perform
the service outlined on page 68, and take the vehicle in for service at
the first opportunity.
Driving in Reverse
Follow these precautions when driving in reverse:
1. Always check for obstacles or people behind the vehicle.
2. Apply the throttle
lightly
. Never apply the throttle suddenly.
3. Back slowly.
4. Apply the brakes lightly for stopping.
5. Avoid making sharp turns.
Parking on an Incline
A rolling vehicle can result in serious injury. Avoid parking on an
incline. If parking on an incline is
unavoidable
, follow these
precautions:
1. Place the transmission in neutral.
2. Set the parking brake.
3. Stop the engine.
4. Always block the rear wheels on the downhill side.
