SAFE OPERATION 111 WARNING HAZARD Operating this 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. HOW TO AVOID THE HAZARD Never operate this ATV in fast flowing water or in water deeper than the bottom edge of the axle nuts. Remember that wet brakes may have reduced stopping ability. Test your brakes after leaving water. If necessary, apply them several times to let friction dry out the pads. After the vehicle is operated in water, check the air cleaner. After prolonged exposure to water, the wheel bearings may lose their lubricant and require replacement. Check the engine and gear case oils: a milky appearance indicate that water has entered. If any water entered the belt transmission (CVT) housing, it could cause drive belt slippage. To expel the water, remove the drain cap at the bottom of the transmission housing and let the water completely out. j A. Axle Cap
