body of waterwhere depth isunknown. Loss ofpowerwill
occur if engine becomessubmerged orwet.Unnecessary
crossing of streamsand waterwayserodes shore lineand
damages water-born habitat. If you must cross, do it at a
point where banks are not steep and proceed at a slow
and steady speed. Do not travel in water that is higher
than the floor board. Water higher than this can damage
the engine stalling the vehicle. However, intermittent
stream crossings where depth of water briefly comes into
contact with bottom of engine is acceptable. See "Going
Out on the Trail" Note 7 on page 19.

designed as pusher bars. Do not attempt to push other
vehicles or implements or damage may result.
