Crossing Through Shallow Water - Yamaha Rhino YXR66FAV 2006 Owner's Manual

CROSSING THROUGH SHALLOW WATER

If you must cross shallow, slow moving water up to
the depth of the vehicle's floorboards, choose your
path carefully to avoid sharp drop-offs, large rocks,
or slippery surfaces that could cause the vehicle to
overturn. Never operate through water deeper
than 33 cm (13 in) or fast flowing water.
Wet brakes may have reduced effectiveness. After
leaving the water, test your brakes. If necessary,
apply the brakes several times to let friction dry out
the linings.
WARNING
Never operate this vehicle in fast-flowing water
or in water deeper than 33 cm (13 in). This
could result in a loss of control and an acci-
dent, including a overturn, which could in-
crease the risk of drowning. Remember that
wet brakes may have reduced stopping ability.
Test your brakes after leaving water. If neces-
sary, apply them several times to let friction
dry out the linings.
