OPERATION

Driving Through Water

Follow these procedures when driving through water:
1. Check water depth and current before crossing.
2. Choose a crossing where both banks have gradual inclines.
3. Drive slowly. Avoid rocks and obstacles.
4. Avoid operating in water deeper than the bottom of the footrests. If

it's unavoidable, travel slowly, balance your weight carefully and

avoid sudden movements. Maintain a slow and steady forward

motion. Do not make sudden turns, stops or throttle changes.

5. Wet brakes may have reduced stopping ability. Dry the brake pads

by driving slowly and applying the brakes lightly several times until

braking action is normal.
