Operation

Driving Through Water

4. After driving through water, dry the brakes by applying light pressure to the levers

(while moving) until braking action is normal. If you do not perform this procedure, your

brakes may be ineffective.

NOTICE: Serious engine damage can result if the vehicle is not thoroughly inspected after operating

in water deeper than the footrest level. As soon as possible, perform the inspections and

maintenance services outlined in the periodic maintenance chart beginning on page 98.

Engine oil, gearcase oil, front and rear gearcases (if equipped) and all grease fittings need

special attention.
If the vehicle tips or overturns in water, or if the engine stops during or after operating in

water, restarting can result in serious engine damage. Transport the vehicle to your dealer

for service before restarting the engine. If this is not possible, follow the vehicle immersion

inspection and drying procedures outlined on page 118, then see your dealer for service at

the first opportunity.
