Crossing Through Shallow Water - KYMCO 2006 MXU 500 Off-Road Owner's Manual

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.
WARNING
POTENTIAL HAZARD
Operating this ATV 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 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
pads or lining.
