OPERATION
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 74. The following areas
need special attention: engine oil, transmission oil, front gearcase, and
all grease fittings.
