CROSSING THROUGH SHALLOW WATER

EWB01641
WARNING
9
Operating this vehicle through deep or fast-
flowing water can lead to loss of control or an
10
overturn. To reduce your risk of drowning or
11
other injuries, use care when crossing through
water. Never operate this ATV water deeper
than the depth specified in your Owner's Man-
ual, as tires may float, increasing the risk of an
overturn.
The ATV can be used to cross slow moving, shallow
water of up to a maximum of 20 cm (8 in) in depth.
Before entering the water, choose your path care-
fully. Enter where there is no sharp drop off, and
avoid rocks or other obstacles which may be slip-
pery or upset the ATV. Drive slowly and carefully.
Test your brakes after leaving the water. If neces-
sary, apply them several times to let friction dry out
the linings. Do not continue to ride your ATV with-
out verifying that you have regained proper braking
ability. WARNING! Wet brakes may have re-
duced stopping ability, which could cause loss
of control.
