Driving Through Water
Your ATV can operate through water with a maximum recommended
depth equal to the bottom of the footrests (1). 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. Proceed slowly, avoiding rocks and obstacles if possible.
4. After crossing, dry the brakes by applying light pressure to the
lever until braking action is normal.
After running the vehicle in water, it’s
critical
to have it serviced as
outlined in the maintenance chart. See page 68. The following areas
need special attention: engine oil, transmission oil, front and rear
gearcases and all grease fittings.
