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
: A void operating the ATV through deep or
fast-flowing water . If it’s unavoidable to enter water that exceeds the
recommended maximum depth (see page 87), 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 a fter
leaving water. If necessary, apply them several times to let friction dry out the
pads.
