OPERATION
Driving Through Water
Follow these procedures
when driving through
water:
1. Check water depth and
current before crossing.
2. Choose a crossing
where both banks have
gradual inclines.
3. Drive slowly. Avoid
rocks and obstacles.
4. Avoid operating in
water deeper than the
bottom of the footrests.
If it's unavoidable,
travel slowly, balance your weight carefully and avoid sudden
movements. Maintain a slow and steady forward motion. Do not
make sudden turns, stops or throttle changes.
5. Wet brakes may have reduced stopping ability. Dry the brake pads
by driving slowly and applying the brakes lightly several times until
braking action is normal.
6. If your vehicle becomes fully immersed, 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,
follow the steps described on page 122, and take the vehicle in for
service at the first opportunity.
Always follow the procedures outlined in this manual for driving through water.
Never drive through deep or fast-flowing water.
If the vehicle stops while fully submerged, major engine damage can result if the
machine is not thoroughly inspected. Have the vehicle serviced before starting
the engine.
