CROSSING THROUGH SHALLOW WATER
The ATV can be used to cross slow moving,
shallow water of up to a maximum of 20 cm (7.9
inches) 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
ATV. Drive slowly and carefully.
w
Never operate this ATV in fast flowing water
or in water deeper than that specified in your
Owner’s Manual. 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. If the ATV is operated
through deep or fast flowing water, the tires
may float, causing loss of traction and loss
of control, which could lead to an accident.
