Operator Safety
WARNING
POTENTIAL HAZARD
Operating the ATV through deep or fast-flowing water .
WHAT CAN
HAPPEN
Tires may float, causing loss of traction and loss of control, which
could lead to an accident or overturn.
HOW TO AVOID THE
HAZARD
Avoid operating the ATV through deep or fast-flowing water. If it’s
unavoidable to enter water that exceeds the recommended
maximum depth (see page 65), travel slowly, balance your weight
carefully, avoid sudden movements, and maintain a slow and
steady forward motion. Do not make sudden turns or stops, and
do not make sudden throttle changes.
Wet brakes may have reduced stopping ability. Always test the
brakes after leaving water. If necessary, apply them several
times to let friction dry out the pads.
WARNING
POTENTIAL HAZARD
Improperly operating in reverse.
WHAT CAN
HAPPEN
The ATV could collide with an obstacle or person, resulting in
severe injury.
HOW TO AVOID THE
HAZARD
Before shifting into reverse gear, always check for obstacles or
people behind the ATV. When it’s safe to proceed, back slowly.
