The ATV can be used to cross slow moving, shallow water of up to maximum of 35 cm (14 in) in
depth. Before entering the water, choose your path carefully. Enter where there is no sharp drop off,

bottom of the air filter case, remove the v-belt case drain bolt and front storage compartment drain
plug to drain any water that may have accumulated.
