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 85), 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.
