If
You’re
Stuck:
In
Sand,
Mud,
Ice
or
Snow
What you don’t want to do when your vehicle
is
stuck is
to spin your wheels. The method known as “rocking”
can help you get out when you’re stuck, but you must
use
caution.
1
LAUTION:
If you let your tires
spin
at high speed, they can
explode and you or others could be injured. And,
the transaxle or other parts of the vehicle can
overheat. That could cause an engine
compartment fire or other damage. When you’re
stuck, spin the wheels as little as possible. Don’t
spin
the wheels above
35
mph
(55
km/h) as
own on the speedometer.

I
AOTICE:
Spinning your troy pal
I
vehicle as well as the tires.
If
you spin the wheels
too fast while shifting your transaxle
forth, you can destroy your transaxle.
Rocking
your
vehicle to get
it
out:
First, turn your steering wheel left and right. That will
clear the area around your front wheels. Then shift back
and forth between
“R”
(Reverse) and a forward gear
,
spinning the wheels as little as possible. Release the
accelerator pedal while you shift, and press lightly on
the accelerator pedal when the transaxle
is
in gear. If
that doesn’t get
you
out after a few tries, you may need
to
be towed
out.
If you do need to be towed out, see
“Towing Your Car” in the Index.
