OPERATION
Driving Through Water
Your vehicle can operate through
water with a maximum
recommended depth equal to
floor level. Follow these
precautions when operating
through water:
1. Determine water depth and
current before entering
water.
2. Choose a crossing where the
water level is lowest and
where both banks have
gradual inclines. Never
operate in water that exceeds
the maximum recommended depth.
WARNING! The large tires on your vehicle may cause the vehicle to float in
deep or fast-flowing water, which could result in loss of traction, loss of control,
rollover or accident.
3. Wet brakes may have reduced stopping ability. After leaving water,
test the brakes. Apply them lightly several times while driving
slowly. The friction will help dry out the pads. Avoid applying
brake and throttle at the same time.
NOTICE: Major engine damage can result if the vehicle is not thoroughly
inspected after operation in water. Perform the services outlined in
the maintenance chart. See page 79. Give special attention to engine
oil, transmission oil, demand drive fluid, rear gearcase oil, and all
grease fittings.
If your vehicle becomes immersed or is operated in water that
exceeds the floor level, service is required before starting the engine.
Your POLARIS dealer can provide this service. If it's impossible to
bring the vehicle in before starting the engine, perform the service
outlined on page 118, and take the vehicle in for service at the first
opportunity.
