OPERATION
Driving Through Water
Your vehicle can operate through water with a maximum recommended
depth equal to the bottom of the footrests. Follow these procedures
when operating through water:
1. Determine water depths and current before crossing.
2. Choose a crossing where both banks have gradual inclines.
3. Avoid operating through deep or fast-flowing water.
Major engine damage can result if the vehicle is not thoroughly inspected after
operation in water. Perform the services outlined in the maintenance chart. The
following areas need special attention: engine oil, transmission oil, front and rear
gearcases, and all grease fittings.
4. After leaving water, test the brakes. Apply them lightly several
times while driving slowly. The friction will help dry out the pads.
