SAFE OPERATION 99 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 specified in your Owner's Manual. 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. Wash the vehicle in fresh water if it was exposed to salt water or operated in muddy conditions. Wet brakes provide little or no 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, brakes that get wet may wear out faster. Check for brake wear more frequently if the vehicle is used in water. j A. Axle Cap
