Operator Safety
WARNING
POTENTIAL HAZARD
Operating the ATV through deep or
fast-flowing water.
WHAT CAN HAPPEN
Tires may float, causing loss of
traction and loss of control, which
could lead to an accident or
overturn.
HOW TO AVOID THE HAZARD
Avoid operating the ATV through
deep or fast-flowing water. If it's
unavoidable to enter water that
exceeds the recommended
maximum depth (see page 65), travel slowly, balance your weight carefully,
avoid sudden movements, and maintain a slow and steady forward motion.
Do not make sudden turns or stops, and do not make sudden throttle
changes.
Wet brakes may have reduced stopping ability. Always test the brakes after
leaving water. If necessary, apply them several times to let friction dry out the
pads.
WARNING
POTENTIAL HAZARD
Improperly operating in reverse.
WHAT CAN HAPPEN
The ATV could collide with an
obstacle or person, resulting in
severe injury.
HOW TO AVOID THE HAZARD
Before shifting into reverse gear,
always check for obstacles or
people behind the ATV. When it's
safe to proceed, back slowly.
