18.5 Driving in or on Snow or Ice
• Be aware that snow cover may hide obstacles like holes and logs
that can affect the ROXOR's traction and stability.
• Before driving on frozen waterways, check the ice thickness to
ensure it will safely support the weight of the ROXOR.
• Always keep controls, pedals and floor board free of snow and
ice to prevent loss of control.
• Slow down and avoid abrupt steering and throttle inputs to
prevent sliding and roll overs.
• Use lower gears and/or 4WD Low Range to help prevent tire
spin.
• Be aware that it may take longer to stop your ROXOR, be
cautious and avoid locking the brakes.
• To prevent snow and ice accumulation on brake pads and discs,
which may affect the response time of the braking system,
periodically apply the brakes.
18.6 Driving on Hills and Slopes
• Avoid parking on slopes, if unavoidable, put the shift lever in
gear, set the parking brake and block the tires.
• Approach the tops of hills with caution to avoid a collision with
vehicles coming from the other direction.
• It may be necessary to check the terrain conditions on the
opposite side of a hill before proceeding because the ROXOR
can ascend steeper slopes than it can descend.
• Never attempt to turn the ROXOR around on hills and slopes.
• Use lower gears and/or 4WD Low Range to help prevent tire
spin.
• While the ROXOR has extremely good traction for ascending
steep slopes, it is possible to tip over before losing traction.
• Always keep the transmission in gear when descending hills and
slopes and choose a gear that will help control your descent.
