WHAT CAN HAPPEN Loss of control, which could result in an accident including overturn, which could increase the risk of drowning. HOW TO AVOID THE HAZARD Never operate this vehicle in fast flowing water or in water deeper than 33 cm (13 in). 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 linings. 7-11
