Safety

S

Avoid operating the ATV through deep or fast flowing water. If you cannot avoid water

which exceeds the recommended maximum depth (pg. 114), go slowly, balance your

weight carefully avoiding sudden movements, maintain a slow and steady forward mo-

tion, do not make sudden turns or stops, and do not make sudden throttle changes.

S

Wet brakes may have reduced stopping ability. Test your brakes after leaving water. If

necessary apply them lightly several times to let friction dry out the pads.

Always use the size and type tires specified in this manual. Always maintain proper tire

pressure as described in this manual.
