SAFE OPERATION 99 WARNING Operating the vehicle in rivers or streams where water is flowing quickly can cause the tires to lose traction and allow the vehicle to be swept into the current. Never operate the vehicle in fast-flowing water or in water deeper than the bottom edge of the axle caps. After prolonged exposure to water, the wheel bearings may require relubrication or replacement. Wash the vehicle in fresh water if it has been exposed to salt water or operated in muddy conditions. Check the engine and gear case oils: a milky appearance indicates water has entered. NOTE żThe rear brake of this vehicle employs an enclosed, wet multi-plate brake system. The effectiveness of brake application remains unchanged even if the vehicle drives in the water. When swamped. If a large amount of water accidentally enters the CVT housing, it will cause drive belt slippage and loss of power. If this occurs, stop driving the vehicle and take the following steps to discharge the water. Stop the engine and apply the parking brake. Remove the driver and passenger's seats. Remove the bolts and rivets and remove the engine protective cover for access. j • • • WARNING Wet brakes provide greatly reduced efficiency and could lead to an accident and injury. After operation in water, always apply the brakes long enough for friction to dry the linings. Also, the brake that gets wet may wear out faster. Check for brake wear more frequently if the vehicle is used in water. Remember: żAvoid driving through water whenever possible. żDon't drive in deep and fast moving water. żDry out the brakes. żCheck the engine and gear case oils for water. A.

SAFE OPERATION
99
j
WARNING
Operating the vehicle in rivers or streams
where water is flowing quickly can cause the
tires to lose traction and allow the vehicle
to be swept into the current. Never operate
the vehicle in fast-flowing water or in water
deeper than the bottom edge of the axle
caps.
After prolonged exposure to water, the wheel bear-
ings may require relubrication or replacement.
Wash the vehicle in fresh water if it has been ex-
posed to salt water or operated in muddy conditions.
Check the engine and gear case oils: a milky ap-
pearance indicates water has entered.
WARNING
Wet brakes provide greatly reduced effi-
ciency and could lead to an accident and
injury. After operation in water, always apply
the brakes long enough for friction to dry the
linings.
Also, the brake that gets wet may
wear out faster. Check for brake wear more
frequently if the vehicle is used in water.
Remember:
°
Avoid driving through water whenever possible.
°
Don’t drive in deep and fast moving water.
°
Dry out the brakes.
°
Check the engine and gear case oils for water.
NOTE
°
The rear brake of this vehicle employs an en-
closed, wet multi-plate brake system. The effec-
tiveness of brake application remains unchanged
even if the vehicle drives in the water.
When swamped.
If a large amount of water accidentally enters the
CVT housing, it will cause drive belt slippage and
loss of power.
If this occurs, stop driving the vehicle and take the
following steps to discharge the water.
•
Stop the engine and apply the parking brake.
•
Remove the driver and passenger’s seats.
•
Remove the bolts and rivets and remove the en-
gine protective cover for access.
