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.
