Riding Through Water - Suzuki LT-F400 Owner's Manual

RIDING THROUGH WATER

 WARNING
Operating this ATV through
deep or fast flowing water can
be hazardous.
The ATV tires may float, caus-
ing loss of traction and loss of
control. This could lead to an
accident.
• Never operate this ATV in fast
flowing water or in water
deeper than described in this
section.
• Remember that wet brakes
may have reduced stopping
ability. Test your brakes after
leaving the water. If neces-
sary, apply them several
times to let friction dry out
the linings.
You can ride
through shallow water. Make sure
it is not more than 30 cm (12 in)
deep and is not moving fast.
Choose a good place to cross
before you ride through any water.
Look for a spot where the banks
are gently sloped on both sides
and the bottom of the stream is
hard. If you are unfamiliar with the
area, park the LT-F400/F and
inspect the stream first to find a
suitable spot for crossing. When
crossing, operate the ATV at a
slow, steady speed. Be careful not
to damage banks when crossing.

CAUTION
Operating the ATV in water,
sand, or mud causes rapid
brake wear.
Excessive brake wear can
cause the brakes to be less
effective.
After repeated operation of the
ATV in these condition, bring it
to your Suzuki dealer to have
the brakes
cleaned.
