Water - Yamaha YSR45FX Owner's Manual

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. Nev-
er operate through water deeper than 33 cm
(13 in) or fast-flowing water. Choose a path
where both your entrance into and exit point
from the water is a gradual incline. Determine
the water depth and currents before crossing.
NOTICE
After driving your vehicle in water, be sure
to drain the trapped water by removing the
check hose at the bottom of the air filter
case, the V-belt cooling duct check hoses,
the drive select lever box check hose and
the V-belt case drain plug. Wash the vehi-
cle in fresh water if it has been operated in
salt water or muddy conditions.
Operating this vehicle through deep or fast-
flowing water can lead to loss of control or
overturn. To reduce your risk of drowning or
other injuries, use care when crossing
through 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.
