Safety S Avoid operating the ATV through deep or fast flowing water. If you cannot avoid water which exceeds the recommended maximum depth (pg. 114), go slowly, balance your weight carefully avoiding sudden movements, maintain a slow and steady forward motion, do not make sudden turns or stops, and do not make sudden throttle changes. S Wet brakes may have reduced stopping ability. Test your brakes after leaving water. If necessary apply them lightly several times to let friction dry out the pads. S Always use the size and type tires specified in this manual. Always maintain proper tire pressure as described in this manual. S Never modify an ATV through improper installation or use of accessories. S Never exceed the stated load capacity for an ATV. Cargo should be properly distributed and securely attached. Reduce speed and follow instructions in this manual for carrying cargo. Allow greater distance for braking. S Always remove the ignition key when the vehicle is not in use to prevent unauthorized use or accidental starting.
