Driving Through Water - Segway FUGLEMAN SGW1000F-U2 Owner's Manual

Driving through water

Your vehicle can operate through water with a maximum
recommended depth equal to floor level. Follow these precautions
when operating through water:
Major engine damage can result if the vehicle is not thoroughly
inspected after operating in water. Perform the services outlined in
the Periodic Maintenance Chart. The following areas need special
attention: engine oil, transmission oil, differential oil and all grease
fittings. If the vehicle tips or overturns in water, or if the engine
stops during or after operating in water, service is required before
starting the engine. Your dealer can provide this service. If it's
impossible to bring the vehicle in before starting the engine, perform
the service outlined in the Drying the CVT section of this manual,
and take the vehicle in for service at the first opportunity.
1. Determine water depth and current before entering water.
2. Choose a crossing where both banks have gradual inclines.
3. Avoid operating through deep or fast-flowing water.
4. After leaving the water, test the brakes. Apply them lightly
several times while driving slowly. Friction will help dry out
the pads.
If it's unavoidable to enter water deeper than the floor:
1. Proceed slowly. Avoid rocks and obstacles.
2. Maintain steady speed. Do not make sudden turns or stops.
Do not make sudden throttle changes.
