OPERATION
Driving Through Water
CAUTION
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.
NOTE: Avoid operating the vehicle through deep or fast-flowing
water. If you cannot avoid water that exceeds the
recommended maximum depth, go slowly, balance your
weight carefully, avoid sudden movements, and maintain a
slow and steady forward motion. Do not make sudden turns
or stops, and do not make sudden throttle changes.
If your vehicle becomes immersed, and it’s impossible to take it to a
dealer before starting it, follow the steps described on page 102. Have
the vehicle serviced by your dealer at the first opportunity.
