WARNING
EWB01640Never operate this ATV in fast flowing water or
in water deeper than that 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 lin-
ings. If the ATV is operated through deep or
fast flowing water, the tires may float, causing
loss of traction and loss of control, whichcould lead to an accident.Test your brakes after leaving the water. Do not
continue to ride your ATV without verifying that you
have regained proper braking ability.
CAUTION:ECB00840After riding your ATV in water, be sure to drain
the trapped water by removing the check hos-
es at the bottom of the air filter case. Also, re-
move the drain plugs from the front and rear
storage compartments and the V-belt case to
drain any water that may have accumulated.
Wash the ATV with fresh water if it has beenoperated in salt water or muddy conditions.
