90 SAFE OPERATION WARNING Operating the vehicle in rivers or streams where water is flowing quickly can cause the tires to lose traction and allow the vehicle to be swept into the current. Never operate the vehicle in fast-flowing water or in water deeper than the bottom edge of the axle caps. After prolonged exposure to water, the wheel bearings may require relubrication or replacement. Wash the vehicle in fresh water if it has been exposed to salt water or operated in muddy conditions. Check the engine and gear case oils: a milky appearance indicates water has entered. Remember: żAvoid driving through water whenever possible. żDon't drive in deep and fast moving water. żDry out the brakes. żCheck the engine and gear case oils for water. NOTE żThe j rear brake of this vehicle employs an enclosed, wet multi-plate brake system. The effectiveness of brake application remains unchanged even if the vehicle drives in the water. When swamped. If a large amount of water accidentally enters the CVT housing, it will cause drive belt slippage and loss of power. If this occurs, consult an authorized Kawasaki dealer. WARNING Wet brakes provide greatly reduced 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, the brake that gets wet may wear out faster. Check for brake wear more frequently if the vehicle is used in water.
