OPERATION
Driving Through Water
Your GEM vehicle can operate through
water up to a maximum recommended
depth equal to the floorboards.
NOTICE: Serious damage can occur to the
electrical system and batteries if the
vehicle is operated in water deeper
than the floorboards.
Follow these procedures when operating
through water:
1. Determine water depths and current
before entering water.
2. Choose a crossing where both banks
have gradual inclines.
3. Proceed slowly, avoiding rocks and
obstacles.
4. Avoid operating through deep or fast-flowing water.
5. After leaving water, always dry the brakes by applying light pressure to the pedal
repeatedly until braking action is normal.
