Riding the Vehicle
! WARNING !
Crossing through Shallow Water
The vehicle can be used to cross slow moving, shallow 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
vehicle. Drive slowly and carefully.
Potential Hazard
Operating this vehicle 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 vehicle in fast flowing water or in excessively deep water. Remember
that wet brakes may have reduced stopping ability. Test your brakes after leaving water.
If necessary, apply them several times to let friction dry out the linings.
Test your brakes after leaving the water. Do not continue to ride your vehicle without
verifying that you have regained proper braking ability.
After riding your vehicle in water, wash the vehicle in fresh water as if it has been operated
in salt water or muddy conditions.
