. Remember that wet brakes may have reduced

stopping ability. Test your brakes after leaving water. If necessary, apply them
several times to let friction dry out the brakes.

–

Always ensure to properly park the vehicle on the flattest terrain section avail-
able. Put shift lever in PARK, stop engine and remove key before leaving the
vehicle.

–

If parking on a slope is inevitable, Placing a large rock or similar object behind
a wheel to block it from moving is recommended.

–

Never assume that the vehicle will go everywhere safely. Sudden changes in
terrain caused by holes, depressions, banks, softer or harder “ground” or oth-
er irregularities may cause the vehicle to topple or become unstable. To avoid
this, slow down and always observe the terrain ahead. If the vehicle does be-
gin to topple or rollover, the best advice is to immediately steer in the direction
of the rollover! Never attempt to prevent a rollover with your arms or legs. You
should keep your limbs inside the cage or ROPS (rollover protective
structure).
