Driving On Slippery Surfaces - Polaris GEM Owner's Manual For Maintenance And Safety

Driving On Slippery Surfaces

WARNING
Skidding or sliding can cause loss of control or overturn (if tires regain traction unexpectedly). When
operating on slippery surfaces, reduce speed and use extra caution to reduce the chance of skidding or
sliding out of control. Do not operate on excessively slippery surfaces.
Whenever driving on slippery surfaces
such as wet or icy pavement or loose
gravel, follow these precautions:
1. Do not operate on excessively slip-
pery surfaces.
2. Slow down before driving onto a
slippery surface.
3. Avoid quick, sharp turns, which can cause skids.
4. Correct a skid by turning the steering wheel in the direction of the skid. Never apply the
brakes during a skid.
