OPERATION
Driving Through Water
Your vehicle can operate
through water with a
maximum recommended
depth equal to floor level.
Follow these precautions
when operating through
water:
1. Determine water depth
and current before
entering water.
2. Choose a crossing
where the water level
is lowest and where
both banks have
gradual inclines.
Never operate in
water that exceeds the
maximum
recommended depth.
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 traction, loss of control,
rollover or accident.
3. Wet brakes may have reduced stopping ability. After leaving water,
test the brakes. Apply them lightly several times while driving
slowly. The friction will help dry out the pads. Avoid applying
brake and throttle at the same time.
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. See page 79. Give special attention to engine
oil, transmission oil, demand drive fluid, rear gearcase oil, and all
grease fittings.
If your vehicle becomes immersed or is operated in water that
exceeds the floor level, take it to your dealer for service before
starting the engine. If it's impossible to bring the vehicle to your
dealer before starting the engine, perform the service outlined on
page 117, and take the vehicle to your dealer at the first opportunity.
