Choose a location to enter and exit the water where the banks are not too steep or slippery. Check the water before entering for rocks, holes or other obstacles which may cause you to overturn or become stuck or submerged. Observe the following rules for operating the vehicle in water: Never operate the vehicle in rivers or streams where the water is flowing quickly. Such operation could lead to an accident if the vehicle loses traction and is swept into the current.

On slippery or loose surfaces, special care is required. Sliding may be hazardous because the wheels may suddenly regain traction and cause the vehicle to tip or overturn and have an accident. Therefore, never ride "over your head" when you are unprepared for the riding surface. Often you can correct a skid by turning the wheels in the direction of the skid and placing additional body weight on the front wheels. Do not apply heavy braking force or accelerate when skidding, since this may cause you to lose control altogether. Learn to safely control skidding or sliding by practicing at low speeds and on level,smooth terrain.
Normally you should descend straight down a hill, since riding at an angle could cause the vehicle to lean to one side and possibly tip over. Shift into a low gear before beginning your descent. Sit back on the seat and brace yourself by straightening your arms. Hold your speed down by keeping the throttle closed. Apply the brakes as necessary. Avoid excessive use of the front brake it could cause the vehicle to overturn. Be careful if the surface is loose the tires may skid and braking effectiveness will be reduced.
