Avoid operating the vehicle through deep or fast-flowing water. If you cannot avoid water that
exceeds the recommended maximum depth , go 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.
After running the vehicle in water, it s critical to have it serviced as outlined in the maintenance chart. See page
120. The following areas need special attention: engine oil, transmission oil, front and rear gear cases and all
grease fittings.
If water has been ingested into the CVT, follow the procedure on page 104 for drying out the CVT.
If your vehicle becomes immersed, and it s impossible to take it to your dealer before starting it, follow the
steps described on page 120. Have the vehicle serviced by your dealer promptly.
Major engine damage can result if the vehicle is not thoroughly inspected after operation in water. Perform
the services outlined in the maintenance chart.
If your vehicle becomes immersed or is operated in water that exceeds the footrest level, take it to your
dealer for service before starting the engine.
