Fording a river:
Check out your path in a number of places to avoid surprises (holes, large stones, submerged tree trunks etc) and decide on a line to take and a place to emerge.
Check the vehicle's watertightness.
If using All-Terrain or Mud-Terrain tyres, these may be deflated to about 22 psi (1.5 Bar) for certain conditions of load at up to 12mph - contact BFGoodrich tyres for advice.
Go gently into the water to avoid thermal shocks and damaging the radiator.
Drive at a constant speed (maximum 12mph @ 22psi), pushing through the wave that will form in front of the vehicle.
Once the ford has been crossed, look under the vehicle and remove any plants or branches that might be caught.
Re-inflate your tyres to the correct pressure for the terrain.
