18.10 Crossing Shallow Water
• Water crossings present a unique set of hazards, hidden
obstacles, holes and changes in water depth can cause a loss of
traction, even float the vehicle and cause it to topple over.
• The water depth for this vehicle should not exceed 12 in. (30 cm)
or roughly the center point of the standard OEM wheels.
• Check the water depth, and strength and direction of current,
before you attempt to make a water crossing.
• Cross at right angles at a point where the stream bed is straight
and uniform.
• Never enter the water at high speed, proceed slowly and
cautiously watching for obstacles underneath the surface.
• Water will affect the braking ability of your vehicle, always apply
the brakes several times after leaving the water to dry and test
them.
• In the event the ROXOR is submerged further than
recommended depths, all fluids and lubricants should be
checked and changed as needed.
It is your responsibility to check your local laws related to water
crossings. Some rivers and streams are protected from activities
like this.
18.11 Crossing Public Streets, Roads, or Highways
Obey all sign and traffic signals.
Do not proceed if complete visibility in both directions is hindered.
Choose an exit point on other side of road, then wait for oncoming
traffic to pass.
Drive in a straight line, do not make sharp turns or sudden
accelerations.
18.12 Driving on Pavement
The ROXOR is designed and manufactured for off road use only.
The ROXOR is not equipped or legal to operate on public streets,
roads or highways.
If you must drive on pavement, turn gradually, go slowly, and avoid
abrupt acceleration and braking.
The ROXOR does not conform to Federal Motor Vehicle Safety
Standards (FMVSS) or US EPA on-highway exhaust emissions
regulations. And as such, does not have important features and
equipment that on road vehicles have driving on public streets,
roads or highways without these important features and
equipment can lead to severe injury, including death.
