CROSSING THROUGH SHALLOW WATER

The ATV can be used to cross slow mov-
ing, shallow water of up to a maximum of
35 cm (14 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 slip-
pery or upset the ATV. Drive slowly and
carefully.
q WARNING
POTENTIAL HAZARD
Operating this ATV through deep or fast
flowing water.
WHAT CAN HAPPEN
