You can ride the ATV through shallow water. Make sure it is not more than 10cm
(4 inches) deep and is not moving fast. Choose a good place to cross before
you ride through the water. Look for a spot where the banks are gently sloped
on both sides and the bottom of the stream is hard. If you are unfamiliar with the
area, park the ATV and inspect the stream first to find a suitable spot for crossing.
When crossing, operate the ATV at a slow, steady speed. Be careful not to
damage banks when crossing.
WARNING
Operating this ATV through deep or fast flowing water could be
hazardous.
The ATV tires may float losing traction and then loss of control. This
could lead to an accident.
Never operate this ATV in fast flowing water or in water deeper than
described in this section. Remember that wet brakes may reduce the
stopping ability. Test your brakes after leaving the water. If necessary,
apply the brakes several times to let friction dry out the linings
.
CAUTION
Operating the ATV in water, sand, or mud causes rapid brake wear.
Excessive brake wear could cause the brakes to be less effective.
After repeated operation of the ATV in these conditions, bring it to your
authorized service center to have the brakes inspected and cleaned.
