OPERATION
Driving on Slippery Surfaces
Skidding or sliding can cause loss of
control or overturn (if tires regain
traction unexpectedly). When
operating on slippery surfaces such
as ice or loose gravel, reduce speed
and use extra caution to reduce the
chance of skidding or sliding out of
control. Do not operate on
excessively slippery surfaces.
When driving on slippery surfaces
such as wet trails, loose gravel, or
ice, be alert for the possibility of
skidding and sliding.
Follow these precautions when
encountering slippery conditions:
1. Slow down before entering
slippery areas.
2. Maintain a high level of alertness, reading the trail and avoiding
quick, sharp turns, which can cause skids.
3. Correct a skid by turning the steering wheel in the direction of the
skid. Never apply the brakes during a skid.
