SKIDDING OR SLIDING
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.
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. See the
New Operator Driving Procedures section for
details.
OPERATING A DAMAGED VEHICLE
CAUTION
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.
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.
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.
