CROSSING THROUGH SHALLOW WATER
The ATV can be used to cross slow mov-
ing, shallow water of up to a maximum of
35 cm (14 inches) in depth. Before entering
the water, choose your path carefully. En-
ter where there is no sharp drop off, and
avoid rocks or other obstacles which may

WARNING
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 accident.
HOW TO AVOID THE HAZARD
Never operate this ATV in fast flowing

apply them several times to let friction
dry out the linings.
