SAFETY

Operator Safety

WARNING

POTENTIAL HAZARD
Operating the ATV through deep or

fast-flowing water.
WHAT CAN HAPPEN
Tires may float, causing loss of traction

and loss of control, which could lead to

an accident or overturn.
HOW TO AVOID THE HAZARD
Avoid operating the ATV through deep

or fast-flowing water. If it’s unavoidable

to enter water that exceeds the

recommended maximum depth (see

page 60), travel slowly, balance your

weight carefully, avoid sudden

movements, and maintain a slow and

steady forward motion. Do not make

sudden turns or stops, and do not

make sudden throttle changes.
Wet brakes may have reduced stopping ability. Always test the

brakes after leaving water. If necessary, apply them several

times to let friction dry out the pads.
