DRIVING THROUGH WATER
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.
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
section. 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 178, and take the vehicle in
for service at the first opportunity.
Your vehicle can operate through water
with a maximum recommended depth
equal to floor level. Follow these
precautions when operating through
water:
1. Determine the water depth and
current before entering the 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
(floor level)
q
.
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.
