CROSSING THROUGH SHALLOW WATER
The ATV can be used to cross slow moving, shal-
low water of up to a maximum of 35 cm (14 in) in
depth. Before entering the water, choose your path
carefully. Enter where there is no sharp drop off,
and avoid rocks or other obstacles which may be
slippery or upset the ATV. Drive slowly and care-
fully.
WARNING
EWB01150
Test your brakes after leaving the water. Do not
continue to ride your ATV without verifying that you
have regained proper braking ability.
POTENTIAL HAZARD
Operating this 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 acci-
dent.
HOW TO AVOID THE HAZARD
Never operate this ATV in fast flowing water
or in water deeper than that specified in your
Owners Manual.
Remember that wet brakes may have re-
duced stopping ability. Test your brakes af-
ter leaving water. If necessary, apply them
several times to let friction dry out the lin-
ings.
