84 SAFE OPERATION 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 the bottom edge of the axle caps. 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. Check the engine and gear case oils: a milky appearance indicate that water has entered. Remove the drain plug at the bottom of the transmission cover and check for water inside. If any water entered the belt transmission (CVT) housing, it cold cause drive belt slippage. To expel the water, remove the drain plug at the bottom of the transmission housing and drain the water completely. j A. Axle Cap

Never operate this ATV in fast flowing water
or in water deeper than the bottom edge of

duced stopping ability.

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. Check the engine and gear case oils:
a milky appearance indicate that water has entered.
Remove the drain plug at the bottom of the trans-
mission cover and check for water inside.
If any water entered the belt transmission (CVT)
housing, it cold cause drive belt slippage. To expel
the water, remove the drain plug at the bottom of
the transmission housing and drain the water com-
pletely.
