Basic Operation & Riding

Riding Your ATV
Your ATV is designed to travel through water up to approximately
10 inches (254 mm) deep. Before crossing a stream, make sure the
water is not too deep or flowing too fast.
1.
Choose a path where both banks have gradual slopes.
2.
Proceed through the water at a slow, steady speed.
3.
Watch out for submerged obstacles and slippery rocks.
4.
Avoid getting the spark plug or air cleaner wet, as this would
c
ause the engine to stop.
5.
After leaving the water, always test both the front and rear
b
rakes.
• Riding through water can make the brakes less effectiv
e than

ormal, and may reduce stopping ability.
• If necessary, apply the brakes repeatedly until they dry out and
operate normally.
• If the brakes don’t regain effectiveness, stop your ATV a
nd
fol
low the procedures on page 134.
