Crossing Through Shallow Water - Yamaha U-MAX G27E Owner's/Operator's Manual

If you must turn on the slope to avoid an ob-
stacle, do so slowly and carefully. If the vehi-
cle starts to tip, gradually steer in the downhill
direction if there are no obstacles in your path.
As you regain proper balance, gradually steer
again in the direction you want to go.

CROSSING THROUGH SHALLOW WATER

If you must cross shallow, slow moving water
up to 15 cm (6 in), choose your path carefully
to avoid sharp drop-offs, large rocks, or slip-
pery surfaces that could cause the vehicle to
overturn. Never operate through water deeper
than 15 cm (6 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.

fast-flowing water.
WHAT CAN HAPPEN

HOW TO AVOID THE HAZARD

duced stopping ability. Test your brakes

them several times to let friction dry out
the linings.
