OPERATION
Driving Through Water
Your POLARIS M1400 can operate through water up to a maximum recommended depth
equal to the floorboards.
NOTICE:
Immersion can result in major damage if the vehicle isn't serviced correctly and promptly.
After immersion, always take the vehicle to your dealer service. Do not start the engine! If it's
impossible to bring the vehicle to your dealer before starting the engine, perform the service
outlined on page 65, and take the vehicle to your dealer at the first opportunity.
Follow these procedures when operating
through water:
1. Determine water depths and current before
entering water.
2. Choose a crossing where both banks have
gradual inclines.
3. Proceed slowly, avoiding rocks and
obstacles.
4. Avoid operating through deep or fast-
flowing water.
WARNING!
The large tires on your M1400 may
cause the vehicle to float in deep or fast-flowing
water, which could result in loss of control and lead
to serious injury or death. Never cross deep or fast-
flowing water with your M1400.
5. After leaving water, always dry the brakes by applying light pressure to the pedal repeat-
edly until braking action is normal.
NOTICE:
After running your vehicle in water, it's critical that you perform the services outlined in the
Periodic Maintenance Chart beginning on page 51. Give special attention to engine oil,
transmission oil, front and rear gearcases (if equipped), and all grease fittings.
Parking on an Incline
Avoid parking on an incline if possible. If it's
unavoidable, follow these precautions:
1. Apply the brakes.
2. Place the transmission in PARK.
3. Turn the engine off.
4. Block the rear wheels on the downhill side.
