Basic Operation & Riding

Riding Your ATV
Your ATV is designed to travel through water up to approximately
200 mm (8 inches) deep. Before crossing a stream, make sure the
water is not too deep or flowing too fast.
1. Choose a path where both banks have gradual slopes.
2. Proceed through the water at a slow, steady speed.
3. Watch out for submerged obstacles and slippery rocks.
4. Avoid getting the spark plug or air cleaner wet, as this would
cause the engine to stop.
5. After leaving the water, always test both the front and rear
brakes.
• Riding through water can make the brakes less effective than
normal, and may reduce stopping ability.
• If necessary, apply the brakes repeatedly until they dry out and
operate normally.
• If the brakes don’t regain effectiveness, stop your ATV and
follow the procedures on page 135.
