Proceed slowly, avoiding rocks and obstacles. 4. Avoid operating through deep or fastflowing water. WARNING! The large tires on your RANGER may cause the vehicle to float in deep or fastflowing water, which could result in loss of control and lead to serious injury or death. Never cross deep or fast-flowing water with your RANGER. Floorboard 5. After leaving water, always dry the brakes by applying light pressure to the pedal repeatedly until braking action is normal. Avoid applying brake and throttle at the same time.
