Driving Through Water
Your ATV can operate through water with a maximum recommended
depth equal to the bottom of the footrests (1). Follow these procedures
when operating through water:
1. Determine water depths and current before crossing.
2. Choose a crossing where both banks have gradual inclines.
3. Proceed slowly, avoiding rocks and obstacles if possible.
4. After crossing, dry the brakes by applying light pressure to the
lever until braking action is normal.
After running the vehicle in water, it’s critical to have it serviced as
outlined in the maintenance chart. See page 77. The following areas
need special attention: engine oil, transmission oil, front and rear
gearcases, and all grease fittings.

Major engine damage can result if the vehicle is not thoroughly
inspected after operation in water. Perform the services outlined
in the maintenance chart.
If your vehicle becomes immersed or is operated in water that
exceeds the footrest level, take it to your dealer for service
before starting the engine.
