98 SAFE OPERATION Sliding and Skidding Obviously, on slippery or loose surfaces, special care is required. Sliding any vehicle may be hazardous because the wheels may suddenly regain traction and cause the vehicle to tip or overturn. Therefore, never drive "over your head" or when you are unsure or unprepared for the surface. Often you can correct a skid by turning the wheels in the direction of the skid. Do not apply heavy braking force or accelerate when skidding, since this may cause further loss of control. Use caution and maintain low speeds to avoid uncontrolled skidding on areas covered with clay, mud, ice, or snow. Use "4WD" and low range gearing efficiently. These conditions are particularly hazardous when descending a hill or making a turn. Remember that this vehicle is not for use on public streets, roads, or highways. Remember: żBe especially careful on very slippery surfaces. żDon't drive on public streets, roads, or highways. Driving through Water Avoid driving through water whenever it is possible. When driving across shallow water, choose a location to enter and exit the water where the banks are not too steep or slippery. Check before entering for rocks, holes or other obstacles which may cause you to overturn or become stuck or submerged. Observe the following rules for operating the vehicle in water. j A. Axle Cap

SAFE OPERATION
j
Sliding and Skidding
Obviously, on slippery or loose surfaces, special
care is required.
Sliding any vehicle may be haz-
ardous because the wheels may suddenly regain
traction and cause the vehicle to tip or overturn.
Therefore, never drive “over your head” or when you
are unsure or unprepared for the surface.
Often you can correct a skid by turning the wheels
in the direction of the skid. Do not apply heavy brak-
ing force or accelerate when skidding, since this may
cause further loss of control.
Use caution and maintain low speeds to avoid un-
controlled skidding on areas covered with clay, mud,
ice, or snow. Use “4WD” and low range gearing effi-
ciently. These conditions are particularly hazardous
when descending a hill or making a turn. Remem-
ber that this vehicle is not for use on public streets,
roads, or highways.
Remember:
°
Be especially careful on very slippery surfaces.
°
Don’t drive on public streets, roads, or highways.
Driving through Water
Avoid driving through water whenever it is possi-
ble.
When driving across shallow water, choose a
location to enter and exit the water where the banks
are not too steep or slippery. Check before entering
for rocks, holes or other obstacles which may cause
you to overturn or become stuck or submerged.
Observe the following rules for operating the vehi-
cle in water.
