CROSSING THROUGH SHALLOW WATER
The ATV can be used to cross slow moving,
shallow water of up to a maximum of 35 cm in
depth. Before entering the water, choose your
path carefully. Enter where there is no sharp
drop off, and avoid rocks or other obstacles
which may be slippery or upset the ATV. Drive
slowly and carefully.
w
Never 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 linings. If the ATV is operated
through deep or fast flowing water, the tires
may float, causing loss of traction and loss
of control, which could lead to an accident.

Drive chain slack check
NOTE:
Move the ATV back and forth and find the tight-
est position of the drive chain. Check and/or
adjust the chain slack while it is in this tightest
position.
To check the drive chain slack, all tires must be
touching the ground and there should be no
weight on it. Check the drive chain slack at the
position shown in the illustration Normal slack is
approximately 15–20 mm. If the slack exceeds
20 mm , adjust it to specification.
