DRIVING THROUGH WATER
Your ATV can operate through water with a maximum recommended depth
equal to the bottom of the footrests
q
. Follow these procedures when operating
through water:
1. Determine water depths and current before entering water.
2. Choose a crossing where both banks have gradual inclines.
3. Avoid operating through deep or fast-flowing water.
NOTICE
Major engine damage can result if the vehicle is not thoroughly inspected after
operation in water. Perform the services outlined in the maintenance chart. The
following areas need special attention: engine oil, transmission oil, demand
drive fluid, rear gearcase oil, and all grease fittings.
If the vehicle tips or overturns in water, or if the engine stops during or after
operating in water, restarting can result in serious engine damage. Transport
the vehicle to your dealer for service before restarting the engine. If this is not
possible, follow the vehicle immersion inspection and drying procedures
outlined in the PVT Drying section, then see your dealer for service at the first
opportunity.
4. After leaving water, test the brakes. Apply them lightly several times while
driving slowly. The friction will help dry out the pads.
If it’s unavoidable to enter water deeper than the footrest level:
• Proceed slowly. Avoid rocks and obstacles.
• Balance your weight carefully. Avoid sudden movements.
• Maintain a steady rate of speed. Do not make sudden turns or stops. Do not
make sudden throttle changes.
