OPERATION
Driving Through Water
Your vehicle can operate
through water with a
maximum recommended
depth equal to floor level.
Follow these procedures
when operating through
water:
1. Determine water depths
and current before
crossing.
2. Never operate in water
that exceeds the
maximum
recommended depth.
3. Choose a crossing where both banks have gradual inclines.
4. Proceed slowly, avoiding rocks and obstacles.
5. Wet brakes may have reduced stopping ability. To dry out the pads,
apply the brakes lightly several times while driving slowly.
NOTE: After running your vehicle in water, it's critical that you perform the ser-
vices outlined in the Periodic Maintenance Chart beginning on page
75. Give special attention to engine oil, transmission oil, demand drive
fluid, rear gearcase oil, and all grease fittings.
If it's impossible to bring the vehicle to your dealer before starting the
engine, perform the service outlined on page 113, and take the vehicle to
your dealer at the first opportunity.
WARNING
The large tires on your vehicle may cause the vehicle to float in deep or fast-
flowing water, which could result in loss of control and lead to serious injury
or death. Never cross deep or fast-flowing water with your vehicle.
CAUTION
Immersion can result in major damage if the vehicle isn't serviced correctly
and promptly. After immersion, always take the vehicle to your dealer for
service. Do not start the engine.
